    Exclamation What do you think of this TECATE deal?

    So, I found a guy who is getting rid of his 85 Tecate, its got new tires and new plastic. He is willing to trade me for my 85 200X and a Xbox 360 my son out-grew. Here are some pics..... is this a good deal?

    I'd take it, a Tecate is far better than any Honda (of course that's just an opinion) and a helluva lot mor fun than an X-Box

    It depends on if the Tecate is what you want. Dollar for dollar it's worth more than your 200x but it may or may not suit your riding style.

    I'd do that in a heartbeat, especially if you have another 200X.

    Ok guys, I don't know squat about the green machines so please fill me in! So its an 84 not an 85? Is it liquid cooled? The rear brake is a drum setup? Is it possible to easilƯ change to disc? What all do I need to know about this thing?

    It should be liquid cooled, it has disk brakes, and you need to know enough to ride it

    I would absolutely do the trade. You can always get another 200X and an Xbox. Tecates are not always available. You will not be disappointed.
