    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    Not entirely true. Suzuki made an LT250E (four wheeler). I had one as my first duner. Yeah, it sucked! not to mention it had a custom vise-grip suicide shifter for the longest time

    If you look again - you will see it says 200E - not 250E

    What year did they start making the 250 Big Red? I know it was not 82. 85 maybe..... I don't want to be the one to argue...cause it takes just too much energy, but look at the year again. 82 or 84 I think it would be a 200. 82 and 83 Big Red's were 200E with no reverse. 84 was the year of the reverse. I can't remember much from that time until sometime in the early 90's due some chemicals that were floating around in my system killing my brain cells.
    Since they outlawed 3 wheelers..... only outlaws still have them!

    1985 was the first year for the 250 four stroke from Honda, the year before, 84, was the only year the shafty 200es was made, before that all big reds were chain drive.


    1984: 200es, reverse, hi/lo, shaft drive.
