    Hello, I have a couple of question for you. For my x-mas present im thinking to do my first restoration.

    I want to do my first restoration on a small trike.

    My model disponible is: - atc 125 m (1984)
    -atc 110 (1983)
    - Yamaha trimoto 125 (not my preference) (1980)

    So I want to know what is the best trike in this choise to do some pop wheelie, trail riding, hunting , mudding ,to go fishing ...

    Last question what is the aproxymative top speed of these bike ?

    I will give new of my restoration went I begin

    thanks

    I'd go with the 125m. You wont be constantly finding parts that are discontinued plus it'll do 35-40mph down a grade .

    I'd go with the 125M also. Easier to find parts for than the Tri-moto and will be a little better for trail riding than the 110.

    So my question is: Is it fun to ride the trike if it only get a 4 speed transmission.
    D'apres moi, etant donner que ce n'est pas une bombe ce trois-roues, 4 vitesse c'est bien assez

    So you understood what we just said
    I did not know that quebecois was close to cajun. The only cajun ( I think) I know is the singer Zacharie Richard.

    Hey Big red 200es, can't wait to see the new trike.

    First restoration

    Now it's time to put some pic.
    Tomorrow I will paint the cylinder black and I will send it for an oversize.(on the picture the top end is very dirty but now is clean) But if you have some cleaning tips I will take it. And some head painting tips. Is it better to put the paint after or before to send to an oversize?

    Im the pic He look very bad but this pic was take on the first day I get It.

    PS- Happy x-mas
