    I haven't been on the forums in a while, but Fabiodriven, your typical response is like coming home!

    What he means to say if he could resist being sarcastic is that "what's it worth" questions are subjective and hard to answer. It depends on what they normally go for in your area. Here in Iowa they might ask $1500 for a machine like that. I'm becoming resigned to the fact that I'm going to have to pay something like that to get a second one. Also, you didn't show any pics!

    A picture would be nice......

    It's worth what you are willing to pay.

    Yea, but I'm guessing it didn't come with that Honda key chain.

    Very nice Mr. Clean.

    $250 here, but don't go by what I paid. This machine would have brought $1000 to $1200 easy when I bought it.

    Mr Clean, did you pay $600 for it in THAT condition? That's beautiful. I just looked at one in MO that the guy was asking $600 and it was a basket case. Fabio's is super nice too!

    I paid $800 for mine about 7 years ago and have probably put $1000 into it since, and it still doesn't look as nice as yours...

    I used to think fabio was an asshole, but at least he is consistent-lol/jk fabio. If you've been around long enough, you knew what that link was before you opened it lol. As far as his and Mr. Clean's trikes, they better hope they don't have warrants out. Those two purchases were straight up steals. 250sx in that condition is worth 2-3 times what they paid around here- or at least that is what somebody would ask. I wouldn't argue with them either.

    i've bought and sold in MO and NE. i think it would be worth $1000-1200 or maybe more to the right person? maybe $1500 on ebay but you have to pay close to $100 to sell it with ebay and paypal and photo fees. if its in awesome shape. lots of people use the term "mint" loosely. i know speedos are very rare, more than racks. racks are also. you could sell those pieces alone for alot on ebay and get half your investment back. BUT market seems soft right now, people crabbing about the economy...trike prices are all over the place. ive sold them for more than i thought id get and ALOT less. most people want them cheap to beat up on them and the rest of us would take great ones if they were cheap. only a few people want to pay big bucks and have the space to keep them if they mostly sit around.

    people on 3WW live and breathe them more than normal. we all search for trikes more and find good deals so we all hold out for cheap prices. most all of us would have almost got in a car accident rushing to the bank so fast to buy those bikes earlier commented on for only $250 and only $600!!!

    let us know what you pick it up for so we dont have to keep saying "its worth what someone will pay"
