Has anyone ever heard of these. I have'nt. I'm e-mailing back and forth with somone who's selling one and he says it's a prairie 3 wheeler? I know there was 4 wheelers. anyway, any one have any pics of these, I was hoping it was a tecate when I saw the add but I guess I'll have to keep searching. thanks, any info or help would be nice...somone educate me please.

edit: im guessing these are the klt 250 4 stokes then?

Yes they were called prairies. We had one back in 1983. It was red. It is basically a KLT 250 with racks. Kind of like a BIG RED. It has a manual clutch and some funky leading link front spring suspension. Oh yeah, ours had a chrome speedometer from the factory and a differential rear-end like a car. Not a sport machine by any means!

I use ot have one. They are great trikes. The unlockable hub makes for a really tight turn.

That was one of the first three 3 wheelers I ever rode on....my friends family had two of them but theirs were both black.

I can't believe they actually mention "six-pack" in the advertisement. Ahh, back in the day where you wouldn't get sued for mentioning alcohol in your ATV ads...

I guess that's where Polaris stole their "Turf mode" differential from huh.

Yup the pic up top looks just like mine. I am thinking about selling it if anyone is interested. I want it to go to a trike guy and not some dumb ass kid.
