To start off up where I live we have a Honda/Harley Davidson dealership close by.Me and my aunt, uncle, grandpa or anyone else I know, if we go by we usually stop.Well I look at the stuff I could never afford like the brand new Ski-doo MXZX 800 hes got in the showroom and the used stuff off the side or the place in a fenced in area like a lean-to.Well I noticed just recently that hes got I about 3 or 4 trikes outside.My aunt told me they been there so I must have just never noticed them but there was a 200M, year unknown, in the fenced in area and a 200M outside along with a plain 200. (Never seen a plain one before) I almost think I am missing one but maybe not.

Anyways the point of this post is to see if anyone would be interested in these.I stop by alot and usually the guy wants too much for the used stuff to drive you away towards the new but I havent asked him about the trikes yet.It is sad for me to see these there because compared to alot of the trikes that are being restored on here they look like mint.I would want them for myself but I really dont have any instrest in any trikes but the racers like 200x,350x,250r, etc.I feel kinda bad just letting them rot there without even trying to get them to a good home.:D So is anyone here currently looking for a 200 or 200M(s)?

ummm, is this sovies? he wont sell any of them. first, he told me that he just doesnt want to sell them, then he told me he wont sell a non running one, and the he said he could make more money if he rebuilt them himself and sold them running. basically john sovie is a douche and i rarely deal with him as the local honda dealer. he has been a dealer since the late 60's and he had a mint 86 big red in the showroom this spring that he sold on ebay. he has no parts for 250r's or anything so basically sovies is a complete waste of time.

Yeah thats the place.I was wondering since I havent asked him about those trikes but I was going to if someone was intrested in them.I pretty much feel the same way you do about him with the used stuff.I asked him about that red Ski-doo Formula last winter and he said it needed a gas cap and carbides or something so he wasnt going to mess with it and he wasnt going to sell it as is.Anyways where do you go riding?Im surprised I havent seen you out riding somewhere...

I have had similar experiences with john sovie.....Yesterday as a matter of fact when I stopped to look......He doesnt rate very high on my chart........He kisses the canadians butt and ignores americans....good place for me to stay out of.......
