how much is too much $$$
It is interesting how alot of members REFUSE to put X amount of money into their trikes. I am of the school that feels whatever you want or need to put into it is OK. For example.....One cannot go and buy a new 3 wheeler. The values are slowly increasing on 3 wheelers. ATV's in general are NOT investments!!!! Either do it because you love the machine or hobby, or play the stock market for your easy money. If you think you can buy a rat, fix it up (Properly) and sell it for what you have into it, plus a tidy profit, you are sadly mistaken. Sure, sometimes it can happen, and its happened to me a few times, but more often than not, you will lose money. SO, the long and short of it is, buy trikes to keep, and you will never be dissatisfied with the financial aspect of the sport. A good example is Mannys 250R. He spent good money over time to make it a nice, reliable ride. He could probably not sell it for what he has invested in it, so he should just keep it and enjoy it. Same goes for alot of other owners, myself included. If I had to sell, out my collection, the only one I would seriously profit on would be the Tiger. the rest I would lose a few hundred on each. Thats the breaks fellas......wanna sell me some trikes??? :-P
