I have a 32 inch flatscreen tv,and an xbox 360 that someone wants to trade me for a Honda 200s.He says it runs and drives thats all i know so far.I value my tv and xbox at roughly $500.Should I do it?What kinds of issues do these trikes have?are there as indestructable as the 110 that i've heard so much about.

They are indestructible. Keep clean oil in them, and a clean filter, you can run one forever. It would have to be pretty nice for me to trade. In my opinion a $500 200s should be really really nice. Not showroom obviously, just talking needing nothing. Fenders all intact, good bearings, brakes, good tires, starts on the first pull sort of machine.

he said it starts on the third pull everytime,im guessing that could be the carb needs cleaned or adjusted and that is no problem for me.and yeah,I'm expecting not to have to anything but gas in it when I get it,but this will be my first running three wheeler I've owned so I'm just hoping its worth it.Long ago I had a 90 but only rode it once briefly because it died and i never got it running again,then,someone stole it.I know alot more now about engines and what-not so i feel confident in the decision.

Clean, non ripped seat, working lights, if it needs anything, he needs to start putting cash towards the trade. Is there oil around the cylinder head? Like I say, if it needs anything to make it a nice machine, start deducting.

Drive over and check it out, if it seems to be what you're looking for then go for it. If it's not what you hoped for then pass on it.

The unfortunate thing is,I don't have a liscense or ride to check it out.We are trying to get something set up for this weekend when I can get a ride to meet him and it,I'm excited and anxious.I want to add,I love how close knit this group seems to be.It feels like home.

The sx is definitely the more diserable machine of the 2 and would be my choice if its in decent shape. Not sure of your mechanical skills but that would be the one to look at and definitely worth more than the 200. But if you're on a tight budget and not very mechanically inclined I would go after the 200. Just my .02 cents, but hard to say either way without seeing them.

I want to be clear on this,I am not posting for this guy i just want ya'll to read the description and tell me if its worth it.
"I have a good ruining Honda 250sx atc..... Overall its probably 6\10 for looks but runs really well shifts as it should tires hold air for a few days but do leak down some tire slime or fix a flat would stop any problems I'm sure......plastics are in best up shape front keeps dirt off engine but front section us broke off....rear is there one side broke off and sear has tear in the middle as most are... It has reverse and electric start that work great but it does need a new battery i have a jump pack to show it works and runs"
now the other thing is when I asked him about this machine he said it would need a full gasket replacement soon,I'm confident i can do it especially with the help of you guys and i can get the kit on ebay for 30 bucks,what do you think?

I presume he meant 250 SX -- which is a sweet ride, but needing gaskets...
Offer him the TV for the SX, and the X-Box for the 200S.

What's a full gasket replacement and how do you predict it? It either leaks or it doesn't.
Anyway, not sure what kind of riding you do or what your budget is. The SX is a superior machine in most cases but if you have to spend $400 on battery, seat, plastics, and you don't have it, it's not the right way to go.
200S is a great machine and stone axe reliable. If seat and plastics are good, that might be the way to go, especially if you don't have a lot of $$ for repairs.
