    Question tri-moto 175 found , is it worth it?

    while doing an inspection today, my constantly wandering junk eye spotted a little yellow trike out of the corner of my eye.... went over its a yamaha tri-moto 175 thats complete! And it runs! the owner pulled it one time and it crakled to life for a min! all the plastic is there just needs a good cleaning, no cracks the original seat, he does have one wheel/tire off he was messing with the brakes. Some cobled up rack and a aftermarket exhuast for it that has never been put on! He said make him an offer I said $100 so is it worth it?

    Damn skippy it is! You will have fun, jump on it. Almost too fast for a hardtail. I want pictures of you sliding that one sideways!!! Let me know about that aftermarket exhaust if you don't want it, first dibs I'm calling. LOL

    Lots of junkers seem to go for 100$, must be a magic number. I'd buy it for 100 bucks. The 175 was a little rocket in it's own right and the rear engine placement made them awesome wheelie machines!
