    Another Nickolson 617cc with a BIN of $1800?? can it be true???

    It says it is a Nick but the pictures have me wondering. Also, how could it start out as a 250r and turn into a Nick? Is it just a welded together trike with a XL500 motor in it?

    It's a Nicholson Frame...looks like a 250r tank, plastics.....
    the rear shock is wrong....needs to be a fox shock

    Not even close to being as nice as the last one. Just my opinion, looks like a cobled up mess.

    oh ya...last one had extra swinger (extended), ceramic coated pipe..i could go on but basically the whole nine....

    This is a first generation Nicholson, which need 81/82R front/rear end with 185 tank and plastic to look original...IMO and of course the all illusive fox rear shock

    BigBores is 2nd generation, which has a few frame mods and 200x tank, plastics, 200x front end and 250r rear

    Someone should give him a best offer of $1,200, tear it down and do it the right way. At least you've got the frame and motor. Finding the rest of the parts would be cake.

    It'll be cheaper than what I paid for mine.

    I like it, and I would offer 1500 for it if I was closer and had the money

    Agreed, could use some plastic re working and a different tank, but for the price If I had money I'd offer lower maybe to get it off his hands and make it another member of my trike family

    Including mine?.....and Bigbore's?

    I think Bigbore's is absolutly sic...by far the best looking trike IMO...love the R front fender he has on it (although it's not historically correct) IT LOOKS SWEET
