What is the rarest 3 wheeler? What 3 wheeler is worth the most?

[MJV]

This is a question for the boys who have been around for a long time. I'm referring to ATC's and not the sportier racing looking 3 wheelers as I honestly don't know a lot about them.

1. What is the rarest 3 wheeler? And one that is really difficult to find part fors?


2. What 3 wheeler is worth the most now that they are becoming antiques?

1. Franks ATC
2. See number 1

Never heard of them, which probably explains why they're rare. I googled them and they're all racing three wheelers, which I don't have much interest in since they have little utility. I'm biased to Honda and also biased because I grew up with one on the farm. But I've seen some other really cool makes and models of three wheelers. I guess the whole racing thing is a lot bigger than I thought.

The ATC500r or the 1987 350x

The most expensive will be racers,HIGHLY depending on who rode them.. Besides that,See above post ^^

The rarest one is the SDP350X , only one ever made is in my garage. Not for sale. So basically it's priceless.

By the way, all Honda three wheelers except for the US90 are ATCs. Nothing else is an ATC even though they are called that.

I'd bet any 3 wheeler previously owned by Elvis is more valuable than any trike Barnett or any other fancy pants riders from team red ever owned.

See how many KLT 110's you can find and how many people have ever seen one in person?

That kind of celebrity doesn't do very much if anything to price. Michaels BR went for $1200ish I think. I have had KLT 110's. The one and only Kawi that beat Honda in it's class...IMHO. Vertical engine and front "suspension". Better seat and Ergos,,better machine other than reliability. Trannies didn't last. Tanks rot like China metal . An average one $400-$600. Mint,,$1200+ or -. A true factory bike that had a decent rider,a Franks, Restored Cagiva. Ten figures.

Well id like to see any of you restore one of these ww2 German 3 wheelers. Pretty sure it's more than 1,200 usd.... just ask Paul Allen.

Yes, the one and only 110 cc Kawi 3 wheeler that beat honda in the 110 cc class and it is in fact faster than a 125 honda as well, HOWEVER, in the 250 cc class the Kawi is the clear winner in the high performance area, but since honda designed the atc250r as more of a recreational bike, then it is still a different category and the honda does win the recreational use category.

Tanks rot like China metal.

If I recall correctly, there have probably been at least 5 threads regarding rusty Honda tanks in the last few months and not more than 1 rusty Kawi tank thread if there even was 1. There have also been a few threads regarding 250r downtubes breaking in half from rust and not a single thread regarding any Kawi frame breaking from rust.

Any atc tank will rust if some careless person leaves it out in the weather or even inside a shelter where it gets extremely cold etc, and unless you did a side by side rust test between the two using NOS tanks, I don't see how you can imply that a Kawi one rusts faster and/or more than a honda one in the same amount of time under the exact same conditions etc.

So if it's the only one ever made, how did you get your hands on it? Why was only one ever made? And why don't you entertain us by showing us some pictures. Thanks.
