    new trike cheap!/check the pics!!

    my wifes friend called me today, he has a 200s he wants to get rid of . He said 75.00, it is supposedly all there just needs to be swapped to a good frame, which he has. and some extra tires. I'm gonna go pick it up tomarrow, i'll post up some pics. how do these ride as opposed to the bigreds?

    They are a little smaller - but a little more nimble. Much more peppy. I am comparing to the 200ES Big Reds - the 250ES Big Reds - are like apples to oranges in a comparo.

    man what a sweet score, I think anyway. picked it up today, here are a few pics, i'll get better ones later. Should be able to make a nice runner out of it. He even started it for me, but the tank has a hole in it. started on 4th pull. we only ran it for a second though. how you like the trail pros brand new, yet i have never seen any that wer'nt. Theres a box of prts to, not sure whats in there, headlight parts and stuff. The other set of rears are like new treadwise, no dryrot, but alittle stiff. Definatly needs some work, but it shouldnt cost much to make a nice trike out of it. This is the same guy I got my 200e from, paid 300.00 for that, he's a good dude, I gave him 80.00 because I had no change, and its worth it!! I'll post back later!

    Nice pipe on that thing - never seen a Bassani for a 200s - that head pipe looks huge compared to stock.

    Nice score. Those Trail pros remind of a couple of 1st gen R's I've seen on ebay recently... Brand new TP's all around! WHY!?
    Rides I own:
    '85 200X(old smokey)
    '81 ATC250R(Bassani pipe, Wiseco piston, Vesrah rod, and AMS offset rims)
    '84 KXT250 Red(the new money pit!)
    '96 KX125(FMF pipe, Boyesen reeds, One Industries graphic kit, etc.)
    '85 KX125(vintage racer. Technically it was a practice bike)
    '78 DT400(the lone Yamaha)

    after I see whats there, I'll part out what I dont need. does a fit on the front properly, the boots are all worn through where the tire rubbed, there are no axle spacers on the front, hopefully there in the box of parts i got.
