    Which Trike to buy??

    Right now I have a 02 400ex, I have 10 months until its paid off. When it's paid off i'm going to either sell it or trade it. I want to get 2 trikes with the money or in a trade. I want something that will beat the 400ex and then something that would be more of a everyday rider. So im thinking of a tecate or 250r for flat out speed also has to be able to ride wheelies for days, and like a 250sx for a everyday. I live in Virginia so I need something for going up hills threw creeks and skinny trails. I'm just getting tired of having to get off and pull the front end around the turn. I have just always been partial to trikes. It's pretty bad when I leave the 400ex in the shed and take the atc70 out for the day. Help me out fellas.
    PLEASE DO NOT MOVE THIS TO QUAD CENTRAL.
    Thanks Eric

    Sounds like you need an '86 tecate--The 250r's are everywhere and would be easier to find parts for (and plenty fast)--And the sx is a great trailrider

    Sounds like the tecate takes the speed is it a good wheelie bike also? Is there a bore kit?

    250R with a 310 or 330 kit.

    I think you have the right frame of mind. Get a 250SX to be the work horse but yet sporty to play around on. Then get a 2 stroker to get wild on either 250r or a Tecate.
    86-87 Tecate ROCK!

    Ride fast...........brake late............and Slide the rear!

    get a 250r and a 200x for the trails. the 200x's have good speed an they're awesome trailbikes. the only bad thing is ya don't have reverse.
    Current rides:
    85 Honda 200x -- For Sale
    86 Honda 200x
    79 Honda Z50 minibike

    If speed kills......I'm a dead man!

    I would have to agree with what else has been posted about picking up an R, or a Tecate for speed. As for the trails, a 250sx I think would be the cats @$$ because it's has front and rear suspension, reverse, as well as shaft drive.

    yep tecate or 85-86 r for haulin, and a sx for the everyday because it has lots of features appropriate for every day riding and you can get it going pretty quick when you put the 350x carb on there with a 300 cylinder
    The below sentence is TRUE.
