your welcome

Front suspension for one, assuming the trike is stock would mean 175.

But it sounds to me like a 125 by your description.

alot of people get mixed up on that i went to look a a supposed 175 and found out it was a 125 by the 4 bolt head... got it home and found out it had a brand new top end

) only paid 50 bucks and it only needs 1 rear tire

Sounds like how I got my 125, it'd been in storage for almost 12 years with a top end with less than an hour on it. The back tires held up all those years and are still on it, although it needed a new front. I loaded it into the truck and got curious, put some fresh gas in it, and within two pulls it was sitting there idling after not being started all that time, I bought it straight out of storage, still had stuff piled on it. The seat's bad, and I recently took a razor and scraped the fenders clean, but it runs like a charm! It's got to be the smoothest riding trike on pavement though, all my hondas either pull, or bounce a bit, something, but with no suspension and good, maintained tires it just lazes about nice and easy.

I'm going to look at the YT tommorow!!

I've been to see it and it's a 125!!! are they any good before i buy it?? i think its an 85' model with the big plastic headlight surround an 3 scoop vents each side of the tank cover?
it runs sweet but has got a k+n type air filter ( no air box) and the wrong seat..
and it's got 3 new tyres.

nice i wouldnt reccomend that no airbox on these unless you never go through water lol since the tires are sooo close but.... i had 5 already and as long as you keep oil in them they are great trikes. how much does he want...

About $250 the motor sounds sweet with excellent compression
