    82 Tri Moto - Can anyone ID? Worth my time?



    Is this worth trading a $100 muzzle loading rifle for? He says it runs but needs carb work and all plastics are intact.

    Can anyone help me ID this trike? He thinks it's a 125 or 175.

    Also, about how big is it physically? Is it comparable to my Honda 125m in size or is it smaller like the 70's?

    Thanks in advance.

    Looking at the size of the bolts on the bar clamps..i would say 125 size. Id say go for it if you could get her running easy.

    It's a 125, but those stickers like like they might be older than a 1982. Didn't the 1982 decals have a black background? Looks like with new seat cover it would be a clean looking little trike.

    I don't want a big machine. I want it for my son when he grows up. But I want something small in size like a 70. After looking at more pics these seem to be the same size as a 110, 125. He wants my snowblower now...we'll see what happens. I don't like the look of the gas tank really. Hondas look so much better.

    but on a side not Uber the gas tank on that will never rust out, and repairing that motor will be easier as it is a 2 stroke, no valves to adjust or worry about. And with the plastics in that condition it is worth an easy 100$, just do a quick check for spark and that it's not seized and your half way there

    If anything I can sell it off or trade it for a Honda 70

    So I never did pick up this trike. Everything I offered him he turned down when it was listed for $200 OBO... He relisted it saying he put a new carb on it and it runs top and wants $600 OBO.

    Must be one BADA$$ carb to warrant $400 markup.
