    A tri-z is sexy, especially with a hot chick on it.....That's what I was trying to buy before landing my Tecate, now my buddy rigidwill has it. It's over 6" longer than my Tecate, A few inches higher and 30lbs. heavier, but ya actually sit more comfy on it. I'm impartial to brand, they're all the same to me, depends on what you think feels best, a 2-stroke is a 2-stroke and are such a blast.
    83' 200x (son's). 85' 200 auto-x & 85' 125m (daughters). 84' Tecate(?). 85' KXT Tecate (mine!, mine!, mine!.)+ some others but don't feel like typing them in.

    I'd say right up there with the Honda and Tecate.

    Just some small issues but once there gone thru they seem to be very reliable and fast/fun.....

    I Have an 85' Tri z AND A 85' 250R, both in near mint cond with fresh rebuilds. I know I'm goin against the grain on this but the Tri z is a much better machine for riding... Its a pain to prime when cold but power delivery and handling seem to much more enjoyable on the Tri z, I've been riding since 1983 and have owned 1/2 dozen three wheelers and the Tri z is probably my favorite.

    I grew up riding the 85' 250R, but prefer my Tri-z. I feel much more confident on it. Maybe it's the lower center of gravity. But I have more faith in the reliability of my 250R (it's a Honda).
