got my buddy a trike today!!

**4cfed** · 10-30-2009, 04:54 PM

set up a deal with two friends today for them to trade machines...

my buddy traded his 83 yamaha 750 ltd streetbike for a yamaha ytm 200e?

shaft drive, registration card included!! i gotta find him a new front fender for it, and he is gonna drop to 22 or 20 inch rear tires since its got 25s on it now!!!

machine runs like achamp!!! sat outside for 4 days and fired on the first pull no choke!! ( battery dead)
you guys wernt lying shaft drives are sooo easy to wheelie. i wheelied his like i wheelie my 200x ( yank back and hit the throttle) and i went from 3 wheels to layin on my back in the grass in about .3 tenths of a second lol... it will power wheelie 1-2 with the 25s on it

and he tipped it over once. We were riding in a field and roostin each other with mud and he tipped over lol. i had to help him cos his foot got stuck between the foot peg and fender. no one got hurt but damn was it fun..

side note.. the 200x owned the yammy in a drag race... gave him a 2 bike jump on me and i put about 15 lenghts on him by the top of 4th! them 25s are killin him

I got one of those, runs like a top, but needs a new pinion. Not the fastest bike but its a wheelie machine

yeah with how easy it wheelies i would have figured it would have been faster than it was... tell i got in the field and was disapointed.. but still a nice original machine for its age

exactly!!!! i know he will ride no matter the weather!! he rode my wifes trail boss last winter with me when it was to cold for her to ride.. we rode for 6 hours on the lake and rivers in -40 wind chills

Nice, now teach him to wheelie for miles !!!

**4cfed** · 10-30-2009, 08:11 PM

if i could wheelie for miles i would teach him lol.. im still teaching my self to do sit down wheelies ( im 26 and only been riding for a year and a half) i got sit down 2nd gear wheelies down pat pretty much, i was pullin some up today in 3rd but i didnt wanna go to far with out my chest protector on ( i like my ribs and kidneys safe)

**Frankencelery** · 10-30-2009, 08:31 PM

I've never been able to figure out how to ride wheelies. I don't seem to have the balance for it. But I agree...my shaft drive 225DX wheelies with throttle only...no pulling up!

**4cfed** · 10-30-2009, 08:41 PM

yup thats what his 200 does... mine will throttle wheelie in 1st no problem, and pop the front end up shiftin to second under 'spirited riding' condition. i figured the slower big tired beast would need some help wheeliing so i tryed it like i do and ended up on my arse in the yard lol...

nice trike, if i could find someone like your buddy to go riding with, i would def get him a deal. most of riding buddys are always too busy to trike/dirt bike

**4cfed** · 10-30-2009, 09:19 PM
