Umm, oh hell yeah. That would be a trade I would be all over.

wow, I would nail it... check for disc brakes...

[fabiodriven]

check for disc brakes...

Judging by the wheels and the fact that the guy says it's an 84, I'd say no disc brakes.

That's a killer deal, do it. The only thing is, you're going to be in a slightly different bracket when it comes to parts. Tecate parts are tougher to find and alot more expesnsive, but you'd be making out in that deal for sure.

i just got an email back from him. according to him the parts bike is 80% there...all it needs is a seat, radiator, brakes and swingarm bushing...from what all you say...im trading this weekend. anybody wanna trade a tecate for a 350x ;) all it needs is a couple things haha

Put the disc brakes on the runner, you'll stop alot better. Drums suck on something that fast.

[85200xrider]

i was planning on doing that...i HATE drum brakes with a passion....

Night and day my friend. We're talking a MAJOR power difference. Take it easy at first.

i know the first thing i want to do is get rid of the twist throttle...where can i get a thumb trhottle for it?

Dammit That's OEM! Dammit Just grow a set and get used to it!

[85200xrider]

haha i wouldnt have any trouble getting used to it...it would be my son that would..i want him to get into riding and he loves the x but i dont know if he could do the whole...hitting bumps and keeping his wrist tight so he doesnt hit the gas

[fabiodriven]

What doesn't kill him... actually, nevermind. It just might!:lol:

[250rulzes]

Get on...
Sit down...
Shut up...
Hold on...

[scooterroo]

ah, not when your talking kids... safety first. if the kid is used to a 200x, and gets on a t3 thinking he is going to be able to ride it the same way, not knowing the power difference and the sometimes unrpedictablitiy of the t3 powerband, and not being used to twist throttle, it might just be safer going thumb.

Sick deal. Why does the dude want to make a trade like that though? Is he scared of the Tecate?
