    Newbie 200x questions

    Hi Guys

    Newbie on here looking to get my first trike. I have always wanted on from being a kid in the early eighties.

    Anyway I have seen a 200x that takes my fancy, but wondered if it was possible to fit a towbar to this trike as it would be dead handy for launching my standup jetski (this makes it easier to justify to the wife )

    Cheers

    Hey ML
    welcome to the forum good to see another member from the UK...
    to the question Yes you can fit a tow bar to a 200X but it doesn't have reverse so backing up your jetski into water could be a problem......

    thanks
    Pete

    Thanks for the quick response guys

    Not bothered about the reverse - I'll just drive it into the sea........ Only kidding . The ski is a standup so is easy to pull around by hand.

    I currently have an XR200R - is the 200x the same motor or a lower spec version.

    If you wanted you could switch to a 1984 or 1985 200X rear swingarm.


    Here is a pic my 1985 200X rear swingarm.

    I take it from that the '83 arm is different (Obviously not as good!!)
