    Range of 1983 185s and 200

    The Comite river is exactly 5.5 miles down the road from my driveway. Untill I get a hitch put on my truck, (SUV) I will have to ride the trikes there. Will I need to carry extra fuel? The 185s has a stock metal tank, and the 200 has a Clark tank.
    How many miles will the 3wheelers go on a tank of fuel?

    You should be able to go back and forth many times on a tank of gas.

    I've ridden all day without refueling. Lets go tomorrow, I'll bring the gas and beer. Thats hard to turn down for most people I know.

    How many MPG (or miles per tank...) would you get on a 185S and a 250SX?

    I have put 30 miles on my 250sx on trails and logging roads, and was just down a half a tank. It depends a lot on where you are riding, turning paddles in the sand takes more gas. I would think a 250sx has at least a 50 mile range on dirt trails and roads.

    i put 90 miles on a 83 honda 185s in good shape, with a full take of gas. Had to turn my reserve on when i pulled up to my drive way, mostly road and trian track bed.
