Finally I'm (maybe) getting a trike! (or not..)

[rot box]

$2300 insane????????? wait untill you find out how much it will cost to fill it with gas in Norway!!!!!!!!

I'd pay it... expecially If I had been searching for a year for one with no luck. If it looked like a total basket case than it would be a whole other story, but it looks reasonably clean.

Anyway If you do get it let us know!

It's 2300 USD, 1820 euro, 1217 GBP and 15000 NOK!!

Just to avoid any confusion

Thanks for clearing that up, I say go for it.

That's so true. I die a little every time I fill up my car

Have not had the chance to call yet, stupid work taking all of my time!

If I get it I'll promise you tons of pictures and maybe some video!

And you'll never guess what suddenly popped up: http://www.autodb.no/cgi-bin/mc/detail.pl?nr=1291863

Hey Mate,

For Z does not look too bad for 2300, considering trikes are rare over there. I too have thought about importing a 250r or 350x from the Usa, but it seems like too much of a hassle.

That YTM 200 does not look too bad. But if you enlarge the picture, it looks to me like the forks are bent. That would be quite a pain to fix. How much does he want for that??

[ATC-Eric]

so how much does fuel cost there?

The guy selling the YTM wants 1600 USD. Pretty much out of the question, would have to be a lot cheaper for me to even consider buying it.

Regular unleaded cost about 6 USD/Gallon

I just about had a heart attack! lol

But really, if thats what you want, there aint a price on it. I say go for it if you have been looking for one.

Because of different circumstances I'm not getting it, basicly I don't think it's been maintained that good, and dropping so much cash into it would be stupid. Also I'm kind of low on garage space, so working on it would be kind of hard.

Instead I've been researching getting one shipped from the US, and I should be able to get a decent 250R (which is the trike I originally wanted) in good shape for less that the Tri-Z. Of course it's going to be a bit more work, but I've found several companies that specialize in shipping cars, bikes, quads etc. from the US to Norway, so that will make it a lot easier.

So that means I'll have to wait another six months or so (Winter here now, no place to ride...), but considering I'll get what I want, it's not that bad

It looked like it had the "covered up look". They make it all shiny with some paint or something, then after one ride it looks like ****.
