I want another trike but don't know what to get!!

[dougspcs]

Well after this recent spree of trike buying and selling I have settled to a decent lineup of machines..

ATC110, 250sx, 250es, and a 350x..I tried the 250r thing but it just didn't suit my riding style. Maybe I'm just getting old but screaming along the trail wasn't for me, especially when I want to ride with my kids. The 350 is lots!!

Anyway after saying I was good and had them all, I can feel the 'creature' rearing it's ugly head and the urge to buy something new is coming back..so like a crack junk trying to score his next fix I'm back in the CL/Kijiji listings looking..

Trouble is what can I buy that isn't alot like what I already have?? Or do I just start doubling up as I have with my Big Reds..god I love those machines!!

Ideas??

What about playing with a 70?

[tommerp]

Spread your wings (or trim them :P ) and try out some Yammies or Kawi's....

225dx or atc70 or zinger

[dougspcs]

Not sure about the 70 thing..I know they are big(figuratively). But then again, so am I. At the 6'3" the 'gorilla in a clown car' factor as another member put it would be really high.

Now the Yamaha thing..I have always liked the looks of the 225dx/dr. How are they? Do they have a rear suspension?

Hard for me to look away from the Honda's but, maybe there is something there to consider..

This one caught my eye, but I don't know much about them.

I am die hard Honda, but I will have a Tecate and a Tri-Z one of these days.

You said you have kids? What age? The 70 might suit them or a 90, 110.

Since you have the 250's already Id at least try out the 225

[keister]

ATC 185 / 200's are great hardtail trail riders - probably even moreso if riding with kids.
Something of that size might fill the gap between the 110 and the fully suspended machines.

Also, what about a 200X?

[Nubbinz]

try a honda us90, always have liked the looks of them, it would be a nice collectors piece and would be able to ride with the 110 pretty easy

My youngest is 11 and not a small 11 either..5'5". The ATC110 I have doesn't see alot of use since she has laid claim on the Big Red, hence the reason I bought a second one. No one wants to ride the little machine...

The 200x isn't my 1st choice because I already have the 350x and I'm the only one who can ride the manual clutch machines..but I have also been looking at the 185/200/200e/200m as a possibility.

My brother is 6'2 and rides a 70 with a 125 engine in it. Those things are just fun, especially when you drop a big pitbike engine in them.

I had a 225 DX..Awesome ride. They can do Big red type chores, but still sporty enough for some good trail riding and not as heavy as a BR.
They have suspension front and rear, but hardly anything to brag at. I would say only about 5 inches of travel.

...i could sell you my 84 200s, all original excellent shape, new rear tires, lower rod bearing went...

Now you said no to the 200X.You might want to consider a 86-87 model year.They run alot better than the previous years.Plus the kids would really enjoy and learn a manual clutch.I am by no means small and like my 86 alot.
