Im just saying........its easier to ride a machine that has good handling with a good matched engine then it is to ride an over powered machine that tires its rider and is prone to wheelies and tire spin. and as far as riding yours for 23 years thats awesome. I only wish I had that much flight hours logged on my R. Its older then me! lol
And I agree with you. I would be happy to have an 85-86 250R or a Tri-Z. In fact I look at craigslist everyday hoping to find the deal I can't pass up.

How is this.....all these machines rock 25 years later! Love the article.....brings back childhood memories when I was still dreaming to own any one of the three!

Oh yeah I forgot about that. All of you KXT owners must have those aftermarket stators on your Tecates.
Sorry Tecate fans, you know I love you all, but I just couldn't resist!
Tell me about it. I couldn't wait to read the tests on the new high performance 3-wheelers back then. Ever since 3-wheelers quit showing up in the mags, I just can't get excited about any of the new quads.

Them old articles are awsome I had to save them on my computer. Tecates seem to be the fastest stock but 250rs have so many mods you can get. I looked on the internet and noticed you could get A LOT of different sprocket sizes for a tri z 250 10-17 tooth front and 40-52 tooth back(wow)I couldn't find that many for both the 250r and T3 combined. It sucks they couldn't compare the 250 Tiger it would have owned in the power section but wouldn't have been a good rec. trike
