    You will have more luck finding parts for the Yamaha. The Tri-Moto's are great bikes, and are very reliable.

    Yep tri-motos will take a beatin and keep on going. The 225's are shaft drive with rear suspension. Which would be nice, as my ytm-200 only has front suspension, and is a hard tail.

    The yamaha and kawasaki are both firm at $550.The kawasaki ia a 1984duckster with reverse. I didnt know they made a 84' duckster. I have heard the yamaha had a problem with the forks bending is this true? I already have a
    82' honda ACT200 that I am trying to sell but the bearings are blown out in the rear. I tried to replace them but didnt get any farther than the brake drum:-)
