    i find them very nice machines. awsome lowend torque. it feels like they will tow anything. top end is also very good for a shaft drive bike. great wheelie machine!

    Awsome machines. Ive had mine for a good 13 or 14 years now. Only thing Ive ever replaced mechanical wise was the U Joint, and I have ridden mine 100,000 miles.. And honestly, thats not to far off from the truth... this bike has a lot of seat time! This is its 4th seat cover, and 3rd set of foam if that tells you anything.

    They are a good all around trike, the shaft drive is nice because of the low mantenance. Electric start is always nice, the suspension could be better but it beats none any day.

    Great woods machine. You can find them cheap and most of the parts are still available at your local dealer. Why you asking? Got one lined up? Is it a DX DXN DRN?????

    I am think they are a worthwile tirke. Good all-around trail machine. Pretty easy to get parts for and work on.
    Anyone know of a new project machine for me around Wisconsin?

    Just looking to see whats out there and noticed a couple at a decent price, actually cheaper than I expected. I used to have an yamaha enduro 125 many years ago and know I beat the crap out of that thing, just wondering how the three wheelers held up. Unsure at the moment if its a dx, dxn, or drn.

    ive got a yamaha 200cc trike and a honda 200, i prefer the yamaha a lot more, it seems like a very solid machine and they dont require much maintenance, the shaft drive kicks ass

    I did some work for a guy and he gave me two 1984 Yamaha 225 DX's. I'm more of a Honda 70 guy. I have no interest in these and need to unload them cheap. Any one here from So CAL interested?
