Looks like an 86 tri Z listed as an 85. Notice the location of the coolant bottle and some of the red plastics. Seems Like a nice 3 wheeler with exception of someone getting happy with the yellow paint. With some different plastics this could be a decent 86. Price isnt bad either

That is an interesting custom look on that Z. Of course it would be much better if it was stock.

That has been on their 3 times now. I have told him before it was an 86 but i guess he don't care.

someone should ask him how many speed is the tranny. i have an 85 motor but the rest of the big parts are 86 so what year is my bike?

If he put some red/white plastics and advertised it better as a rare 86 with a six speed transmission he may sell it.

Question for all . Believe me I 'm not complaining because I'm mostly a buyer not a seller. Whats your best guess on why Tri Z 's go for much cheaper than the other sport three wheelers. Yamaha is world renowned in the off road industry and I seen mint original yellow /black triz's going for 1500 and people have a hard time giving away the ones that are a little beat. I would love to hear opinions and I'm expecting some good ones of course from the die hard honda people.

I asked him if it was a 6 or 5 speed and he said it was a 5 speed. :p

I see he has changed the listing to an 86 now even though it is a 5 speed he said.
