This guy claims that his has electric and pull start...he sounded SMASHED when I just called him on the phone to ask questions about it...he said it's a "work horse" and it's in "great shape" other than the "bumper thingy over the front tire cracked pretty bad"...hahahaha I asked him if he meant the front fender and had to remind him twice in the 3 minute conversation that it was the "front fender" and not the bumper thingy...My gut still hurts from laughing...looked on google and that "s" looks like a large version of my 90...my "e" is all set up for work...Guess maybe I answered my own questions after all but just wanted to vent and maybe give you guys a giggle...He wants $250 for it and says is basically perfect other than the broken front bumper thingy over the front tire...LOL!

As far as 200's go, only the 200e, 200es, and 200m had elec start.

I wouldn't call a 200S a work-horse...it's more of a hard tail spot trike that you could most likely be ordered with optional electric start. There is no hi-low range on it, no reverse, I think front and rear racks were both optional, not standard. It's not really a work machine.

Side by side the 200s is smaller due to the frame. E frame is wider due to the battery box. S has the smaller tank. I've never seen and s with a front rack or a cage around the light, doesn't mean it couldn't be a cobbled s.

I know there a lot faster than my 200ES. I have a hondaline speedo kit on it and at 40mph you start feeling sorry for it and back off the throttle....yes, thats in high range.........Now someone is going to say they had there 200ES up to 65mph in five....four...three...two

The 200s pictures I've looked at make it look quite a bit physically smaller than my 200e...mine looks more like a "work horse"...that 200s looks more like a 4 stroke toy trike...I'm not sure if he was even sure about the electric start topic, he seriously sounded smashed or special ed...

sometimes I think drunk people, or people who don't know much about trikes, just give the trike the first name that pops into there head. I remember going to look at a few 250 "R"s or 200 "R"s that turned out to be ratted out 185's and hardtail 200's.

**gsw902** · 10-13-2010, 10:51 PM

The 200s is pull start only. Mine has front and rear racks.

The 200e has 25 inch tires and the 200s has 22 inch.

The 200s is a fun little trike. and so is the 200E

**Rjfabwerx** · 10-13-2010, 10:52 PM

haha, I think he probably was drunk...all the same, I'm gonna go have a look tomorrow evening after work...I'm not going to stop until I have one of every Honda
