    I'd be interested in seeing that too, as I also own 2 of these.

    We all know who won! The tri-moto 225. One of the best 3 wheelers EVER made! DUHH!

    J/k. I bet the magazine gave it to the 250sx. I do have to say, if you haven't driven a 225dx you really are missing out. Great bike. I do miss my 250sx though.

    I have owned all three and I am pretty sure the 200x won the overall comparison but between the 225 and 250sx would really be rider dependent. The Yamaha is faster then the sx in acceleration and top speed but the sx seemed to feel a little sportier and had a lot more ground clearance for offroading. I never preferred one over the other, it just depended on what mood I was in that day on which one I road.

    I would appreciate it, if you would post that article. I always wanted to read that one when I had the DR and SX.

    Thanks for the scan! The only thing I don't agree with is the reverse lever on the Yamaha. My 85 was smooth as butter but it did have quite a few more miles on it then the brand new one in that article!

    i agree with the magazine too, the sx is just a lil better mostly because of the trimotos overwheeling status, its easier to ride sand dunes on the sx for sure, plus it will wheelie with the best of em.
    the issue i was thinking of was on dare i say - 3wheeler.org- but was retracted, it had the 200x vs 250sx vs 225 on the cover stacked on top of each other in a triangle formation, but its probably a lost cause trying to find it, i just cant decide whats better a 200x or the sx

    the hands down winner for me is the 250SX..

    but then it's almost an unfair comparison since the two machines are so vastly different. manual clutch sport trike vs loaded semi-auto sport utility trike. They aren't even in the same class..
