Well i bought my wifes birthday present this morning, an 84 200x. It ran alright, a few cracks in the plastic and headlight surround, but overall a pretty straight old bike.

Supposedly has a semi fresh (around two years, but not ridden much) rebuild and has cobra pipe and silencer on it.

Went and rode it a little, and was having a hard time starting it, but once going ran good. So i came home and changed the oil, and put in new fuel lines and filter. I stitched up the cracks in the rear plastic, and took the headlight off for now.

Overall i have $525 in it and it runs great. Starts on the first kick now, and runs like a raped ape.

She gets off work in thirty minutes and we are goin to the river to ride it. Its her first atv of any kind and we are going to learn tonight.

Honestly i was a little worried about getting a 200, but am really surprised with the power the little devil has. Has a really good top end and just screams.

Will take pics when we are at the river tonight so you guys can see it.

and sorry for the double post, but i have been around three wheelers quite a bit.

I started with a atc 70 and then a 110, and have rode many 250r's and tri z's so im not new to the three wheeled world.

it really happened to be a good deal so it would have had four wheels if i had a choice, but she only gets three for now!!

I also have an oddysey at home, one of the ones with a 250 two stroke in it. It runs and drives, but is a little rough as well.

Plan on getting the three wheeler goin and then fix the oddysey up too.

She will probably like the oddysey better anyways.

Welcome to the boards! Cool that your wife is into riding.

The 250's aren't very fast. They are very bouncy because of no rear suspension but they are fun to ride. I can't speak for the 85 oddyssey with the 350 or the pilot because I never road those.

i too have only rode the 250. They arent really fast, but they are fairly quick and a blast too ride.

Bouncy as hell though from no suspension, and dont dare jump one, it hurts like none other.
