    Question yamaha ytm 200e or honda 350x can buy only 1 help!

    could use some help i was planning on buying a yamaha 200e been planning the resto for weeks checking on parts, paint, you get the idea plan on picking it up monday, all is good and well its a done deal right? then the wrench in the gears, im leaving work friday morning and happen to glance at the for sale board on my way out the door some ad with the guy selling a wood stove and some other stuff then at the bottom theres a 85 honda 350x 700.00 bucks am paying 600.00 for the ytm took me awhile to stash away the 600.00 for the yamaha so another 100.00 is no big deal, so i call the guy he says it is in pretty good shape its white with blue seat told me it needs a new seat cover and theres something wrong with the decompresion lever or setup? have not went over to look at it, the ytm is in excellent condition runs great and everything, i got to make up my mind by monday talk about screwing my mind up, wish i never would have looked at the board, could really use some help on this, what would you guys do????? thanks kris

    So you haven't seen the 350X yet?I would go with the 200E.You can alway get a 350X later.

    That for sure is a no brainer in my book. 350x would be the better choice.

    Do you want to ride the 40 year old that gets boring after only a week, or do you want the 20 year old that excites you for 2 years and once you get bored can still spice her up with some aftermarkets

    The better choice is the 350X.The 200e's don't get enough respect.

    Edog what are you on, the 200e is a utility trike. 200E's get respect for what they do but here we are talking about a good deal on a 200e and a kickass deal on a way better trike. And your still saying you would go for the 200e over the 350x?

    Yamaha's are awesome, but they arent as reliable as Honda, you seem to have to replace everything once.
