    what do you guys think about trail riding with a 350X?

    Just wanted some input on what you guys think about using a 350X for trail riding on logging roads and paths.
    Or think it belongs in the dunes???

    thanks

    With most sport trikes, tight spots they give you no choice to go slow can get annoying, but logs, water holes, are easy and fun. Open, smooth trails kick ass though.

    The 350x was made for trails, it's at home there.

    To be honest, the 350X really isnt a great sand machine, you will be very pleased with how it goes through the trails, it is comfortable and it can handle the terrian nicely.

    the 250 SX or ES rules trails.

    Reverse and electric start.. plus shaft drive.

    They need a 6th gear.. but othwise the best in my opinion.
    Currently :

    82 ATC - 200, plain jane, almost mint. ( Sold, 03-17-2005)
    84 ATC - 200 ES, Jimmy-Rigged, don't ask.( Sold, 03-17-2005)
    85 ATC - 250 SX, Pride and Joy, Bottom-Less Money Pit.
    84 125 M - The Mini-SX not running yet. but won't be long.
