    How much is a big red worth?

    Hello I am looking at possibly purchasing a 1985 Big Red 250 from the original owner. I was wondering what it is worth? The bike is located 2 hours away from me though. Looking at the picture it looks like a real nice trike. I spoke with the owner and it has the original tires on it, but one tire doesnt hold air. It needs a new battery and the gas tank leaks. It hasnt been run in over a year he said. Plastics look good because its been kept in an airplane hanger since new. However for the past 3 months the bike has been kept outside under a tarp because he sold his plane. What is it worth? He was asking $600 but said since I am so far away that he would take $500. What do you guys think?

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

    Ok I posted it so you guys could see a picture. I was hoping since everyone on here seems to be nice honest trike lovers that no one would steal it from me.

    Original owner machines are the best. Otherwise, you end up with a trike that's been passed around like a moonshine jug at a campfire.
