    I'm considering selling my Selvy's 200R kit

    Ok, so I put about 5 hrs ride time on today in the desert with the 200R. That thing is a blast to ride and will out accelerate TJ's 85 250R that is ported and polished. I don't have as high a topend as him though. On the ride home I was thinking to myself that really this 200 kit would be better off in somebody elses hands. I ride on a weekly basis and sometimes do some pretty hairy hillclimbs. My point being, I need more motor and this kit deserves to be on somebodys flatracker that is going to sit and look pretty and not be ridden. What do you guys think? Should I sell the Selvy motor and pipe and silencer and carb? I would really like to have a 265 motor in this thing. I would be sad to see the kit go. I really do love and appreciate it as a piece of racing history, I just think it should be on somebody elses machine that will sit on a shelf. I'll prolly kick myself later.

    I thought just a couple of days ago you were psyched to have this? Just buy another 250R and keep this one...

    Dirtcrasher, don't get me wrong, I'm definitely psyched about having the 200R. The thing is, it's simply not in my funds to buy another 250R and I love to ride. I honestly feel guilty riding the 200R as much as I have. I know if I sell the kit, I could build a siiiick motor for my rolling chassis. PM me offers guys if you're interested.

    Cant really put a price on it. It all depends on whos out there, and who their competitors are.

    Sell it.. What good is owning a trike you cant ride? And what good is reducing engine displacement besides making for a nostalgic conversation piece? Buy or build something you can use and enjoy...

    I think since it's so rare it would be nice to have a restored 200R to perfection like Vintage Motor Sports does.

    Why don't you ask if they are interested ?
