Trike Questions: Trike comparisons and feeedback requested...

I dont know crap really but for you I believe you would like the Honda 350x. They are Plenty fast in the woods and the four stroke thunder is allways great and lasts alot longer. Your out trail riding and all you have to do is pull up to the gas station, fill her up and your on your way. No mixing and worrying about fouling plugs and all of that. No rebuilds every 1-2 years. They are a Great Trail machine and Look cool as hell. I followed 2 on an all day ride and after watching them 350x's ride the trails and get the power up with a stab of the throttle I was super impressed. I would love to own one. Come to Trikefest this year and check out all the Trikes your interested in.

350x is a Cadillac on the trails.

im glad to hear all the positive feed back on the 350 x im about 2 weeks from getting mine going (cant wait) also im about 300 lbs too so that is good to hear i havent ever rode a 350 x but i hear there the s**t so we"ll see

I owned a new 350X back in '85, and even though most of my subsequent rides have been faster(2-strokes), you never forget what it's like to stab the throttle and move RIGHT NOW.

I'll always keep a 2-stroke for racing, but I will have another 350X for everything else.

Well....I guess I need to be considered a traitor to all three-wheelerkind.....I found a screaming deal on a NICE Yamaha 350 warrior...I got him down to $1200...bike runs perfect, new tires, excellent plastic...I went ahead and bought it, as I have spent the last three weeks looking for a nice trike; Either they have been beaten to death, or overpriced, most nice 1985-1986 250R and 350X trikes are pushing $2000-$3500 here in Oregon...

I hope that doesn't force me to leave, lol....I will be bringing home my old Big Red in a week, so I should still qualify for membership...

I am going to list the Tri-Z that I found, it's a nice bike, it's got a laundry list of new stuff, and only $1500....I really wanted that bike, but the wife put her foot down after my oldest son mentioned the footpegs....

oh, well our 350x will be up for sale soon. k&n, +3 swinger, +4 axle spacers., aftermarket exhaust. Great trail machine, but most of the time was spent at the dunes. soo look out for it in about a month, only will be asking 1500.

A Warrior? I am suprised you are least happy with that. A piped 86/7 200x will keep up with it with a pipe. Proven fact. I would go with a liquid cooled 250R. Built like a TANK, have parts EVERYWHERE because of its younger relative, the TRX250R. I am not 300lbs. but I am 6'3, 220(CUTT), and I know what you mean. its all about the legs. As dammit! said, new handlebars would probably be in order. I am suprised ATC250R's up there are 2-3 grand? Your oregon duners are getting ripped off. You could buy a GOOD one down here and ship it up there for less than 2k

Good luck with your choice!

Coming from another 6'3" 250 pounder - for trail riding - a 350X would be the choice ride. They are big and fit my size pretty well. They have mountains of torque, so you won't have to be revving it up all the time to get out of sticky trail situations. Just stab the throttle and off you go - not much clutch work on the 4 stroke either.

Now - please explain this - in the original question you had mentioned that a 350X was "too slow" - so why did you settle for a warrior? I am sure the price factor came into play, but have you ever ridden a 350X?

[4cylinders]

hey, I've got a trike that solves most of those problems. can easily handle 300#, great for trails, a real blast in the sand.

[tyman]

that things SWEET! do you have a thread somewhere on this site about that trike??? it looks a little bit skinny though... kinda reminds me of the motorcycle that Snoopy rides..

[4cylinders]

hey, try search for monster, they might still be here. just looks skinny with 200x plastic.

Yes, I have ridden a 350X, two of them. One stock, one modded. Both didn't have the "holy SH..." factor that one gets out of a modified two-stroke. The 350X pulls everywhere, the modded 350X just kept going, but neither one pulled like the two-stroke bikes do, at least according to my butt. However, I spent less money, and got the nicest quad out of all of the bikes available locally, even though I made some sacrifices in power output. I bought the warrior, knowing that it wouldn't have the pull of the 250R, Tecate, or Tri-Z...., and the closest nice 350X was 200 miles away. So, I got a bike that wasn't ed, and cost less than the others.
