    A first year US90 or an 81 ATC250R but those are already done and being done respectively. 87 200X might be a good choice. Either that or a Big Red? Not to much activity on them for complete restorations. Might be something new and a little bit different to do.

    That being the only 87 sport trike made I say go for it. The keyed ignition is cool as well as the white tank shrouds. I have owned 2 86's and Mike from LI had a 87 and a 86. Looking at the 2 side by side there are a lot more differences than you would expect. Good luck and I am sure it will turn out mint.

    Lots O Trikes!!!!!

    If you are talking for display only and no riding I would go with the US90 as well.

    It would be awsome to restore a super rare trike, maybe a Husquavarna or something of that nature. You would have something very unique, It would be a very fun and probably frustrating challenge, but in the end it would be worth it.

    I am partial to the '87 200X, it's a real nice piece and very rideable too. If you are a hardcore Honda man that might be the way to go. Or, you could try to find a Husky or Cagiva, those are ultra-rare and real sweet trikes. Perhaps even a Tiger. I know where a Tiger 200 is that is in very nice shape.

    Maybe a 88 BigRed. Extremely hard to find or even get a picture of. But basically Honda's flagship model. Has all the bells and whistles and is the last year model trike made. By any manufacturer anywhere. Kawasaki still made them in 87 but noone except honda made a 88 model.
    Bikes I currently own.

    hey bruce,
    yea thats Him, his name is Gordon He is right I ended up putting a NOS K1 switch and bezel on it for now till we found a NOS K0 bezel and switch. I have to round him up a switch know that he has the bezel, US90 parts are getting very scarce. The blue and parrot green are my favorite US90 colors.
