Fat man on a 200x????

[Beavis-Head]

Howdy,

Got a question for all you 200x riders. Back in the day, a kid down the street had an 86 200x when I was growing up, and I've always had a childhood void to fill ever since. Question being: at 6'1" 225 would it even be possible to comfortably ride? It wouldn't be my main rider but more of a casual trail ride machine. I have only sat on one, so really have no personal seat time on one. It was sure a smaller machine, but seemed okay.

Well it has adjustable suspension all around as far as i know so i think you should be fine. At most a upgrade to the rear shock.
I own a 83, so a different model and i need to get all the suspension rebuilt so i couldnt really tell you.
Plus im about a hundred pounds shy of yours.
So sorry if im no help.

I would say its a little small, i own an 85 200x and im about 5'6 150 and its more than enough power and suapesion to pull me around. My riding buddy weighs about 175 and when he gets on it the bike seems to be at its max suspenion wise and power wize as well he says it him self as well! I would say a 350x or 250sx would fit u just right...

I am 6'3" and 240 and my 200x pulls me around just fine.

I weigh in at 300 and 6,1 and I rode my 86 200X for 10 years before it needed reringed..I kept up with my Buddy and his 300 and jumped the piss out of it..I put an after market muffler on and raised the needle one clip all I ever did beside new clutch and springs...it'll haul yer butt and keep up with yer pals just fine

Should be a great trike for you.

I'm 6-4 and closer to 300 lbs than I should be. My 1st gen 200Xs would run as fast as I cared to ride on the trails. An 86 is a better trike in almost every way and should be a fantastic trail trike for you!

The 84s had to work pretty hard in the dunes, though, which is what I prefer. After I got my 250R, I sold the little Xs. They just didn't get ridden.

Fabulous trail trikes - better than my 250R and Tecate in my opinion. But power rules in the dunes.

I'm 6'2'' and 250 lbs and I fit ok on a 200X. What I will probably do to mine is put straigther handlebar because I always feel like I sit on the rear edge of the seat. What I did also on my trm-225 is put a thicker seat

Sounds like my kind of ride. At 6'4" and 245 pounds I have found trails to all the good eating spots!

5' 10" 270lbs. Just got my 85 200 Auto-X. Where do I sign up for the big guy club?

[3wheelerfan1991]

I'm a solid 185 pounds 6'0. My 200x at least will climb any hill (stupid steep) and always has more power than I expect. I also have some mods done though.

[toki]

im 6' and 230lbs. i had an 85 200x, sold it because i felt it was too small for me and got a 250r.

in reality i should have kept it, rebuilt the rear shock, and just bought the 250r as well. i miss that thing sooooo damn much.

[ColtonGG33]

I want to join the club too. 5'11 almost 6' 210lbs so when are we going to Denny's

[Larry T Moore]

somebody throw this thing together and we'll have our own trikefest at Taco Bell...and Honestly...Im up for it!!
