    1300 and looks like everything is original and in good shape even still has the gold wheels and i have never driven a 3 wheeler before but i know you need to shift your weight when you turn.

    I would start with a 200x if you don't have any trike experience. They make a great trail bike. Not to be rude but I take it you are a kid.

    My suggestion is find a 200x I'm 30 yrs old with tons of seat time and still have a blast even without seeing picks that price sounds high.

    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    This sounds like an accident waiting to happen - no 3 wheeler experience (just quad and bike) and 1st trike is a liquid cooled 250R. Yikes - be careful 250R kid. I don;t think you know what is in store for you!!!!!

    Tons of bike and quad guys get on a trike and dump it within 5 minutes - usually on alot less powerful machines!

    I think you will be fine. Just ride it a bit before you decide to try the no guts no glory. I have had my 250r for 3 years and still have not topped it out. If you care for it, you will have it forever so no need to rush. That being said, try to talk them down a little bit.

    and another thing, an 18 wheeler can tip over, dont blame it on the lack of "training wheel." the only times, in my 7 years of trikes have i tipped over was the only times I decided to goof off. When you're respecting your trike, within your limitations it will not tip
