    Best bang for the buck

    Hello everyone. So at the moment I have the opportunity its at 3 different ATCS, and was looking for some input on what you guys would consider the best deal.

    So there is an 81 200, near mint shape that a guy I know has in town. He is the second owner, bought from an older gentlemen. Not sure on paperwork. $600

    Then a 250es. Not sure of the exact year. Has the engine out but comes with 2 engines. Frame and everything looks pretty good, few cracks in the fenders. New tires. No papers. $800

    The top one (200) is the best deal IMO

    I like the 250. you can fix the motor and put it back in and have a nice 250es for a seal. offer like $600 since it does not run.

    I vote for the top trike. Looks well cared for and that saves on headaches.
    In your area do the prices seem in range?
    I think the 2nd and 3rd are over priced for sure. If the 1st trike runs as good as it looks then I think $600.00 is more than fair.

    Top for sure, no doubt. Look at how killer the vintage tank is! The plastics are in great shape and the 200s is a fun machine.

    Well I looked athrough the 200 this afternoon. Pretty sound machine, gas tank was mostly clean, tires were good, started right up. Will need rings and a gasket job sometime. Said he would take aroutdoor 500 for it. Going to look at the 250 tomorrow hopefully, which is the one I was kind of leaning towards. Been looking for one for awhile. With alittle TLC I think it could look nice. Maybe some not as goofy tires haha. Thinks for the input guys!

    I would take the top one as its the best looking and older one if it were me for my collection. The big red 250 is too far gone and is going to need a huge wad of cash put into it. The 200es you cant give them away around here and they are everywhere...The top is the most rare of the 3...

    $500 for the 81 200 is a good deal IMHO.

    Thanks for the input you guys. The deal on that ES fell through, kid ended up being a major mongaloid, wicked hand to deal with. So I ended up buying that 200. The thing is in just great shape, solid all the way around. Brakes, bearings, lights and switches are all sound. Believe orginal tires are in great shape. Was owned by an old man who kept a book of all maintaine he did, every year. It does smoke pretty bad though, nor sure if it will need valve seals or rings. But for $500 it was a steal. I will have a video link of it up soon! Click image for larger version.
