    Not to take away for the thread but I was b.s.ing with local parts guy at our honda dealership. I said I'll take a plug for a 85 250r and the new 86 250r you have in the crate in the back and to my suprise he said we don't have a 250r but we do have a 86 200x. I think it is cool and heck there are a few new trikes hiding out. They also have a bunch of vintage street bikes and dirt bikes that are new or mildly used in moving van trailers out behind the dealership. Oh I would leave it as is and look at it.

    I would build a dehumidifier for it and store it at room temperature at least 500 yards beneath the desert......

    really - what would you guys pay for it? I would not go 7, but I am broke.....

    200x $? PIX?

    Or even better, find one that is a total POS and put some blood, sweat and tears into. Get it looking like new and running like a bat out of hell. And have that satisfaction that every man should enjoy at least once in his life.

    7 grand is awfully expensive for a decoration. I wouldnt pay that much. But then again Im not wealthy. For that much you could have a fleet of trikes you wouldnt mind using. Plus with my luck Id probably get slammed by some jack hole while trailoring it back to my place, or something els that would fall under murphys law would happen.

    Its been there is entire life and probably will stay there. It would be better just to sit and look at, to get it running it would take a complete motor tear down and iam sure it would need new parts. Even if its been in doors I am sure that it has some moisture that got inside and who know what you would find.

    Displaying it is for a person with lots of spare cash. Common poor slaves like us IF we could afford it should save the mint cosmetics, toss on some MAIER plastics and ride the hell out of it. It's meant to be ridden whether it's new now or was new 21 years ago....
