    The Manco Quester 308 also looks like one of the worst piles of garbage ever to disgrace the annals of three-wheeler history.

    I know right? Given a choice between the Quester and a ytm 125, I'd walk. Okay, I probably wouldn't go that far, but I'd make light of the situation with anyone I came across.

    I've gotten more stuck with suspension models.
    My 200es was unstoppable. Felt more connected to the ground. The shock can be like the secondary brain in the tail of a stegasaurus.

    I hate the ones that people ride and break / bend / tweak / stomp and strip shifters / pull the ropes out of and then go home.

    Worst one so far was my 200es. Front works were worn, had electrical problems from sitting, ran goofy and had all kinds of other issues. It beat ya to death on the roads, pot holes would almost kill ya, then ud be stiff from riding it for the next 3 days..... Tight trails and stuff it was great. Next go around I think I want a 225 or a 200e or s


    New worst one might be my new yt175 with rear suspension. Rode it a lil bit on the street before impluse buying it ( yep its got 3 wheels I want it ! ) It rides funny I think. I need to get it running better and put some miles on it.

    I like my 200x way better.

    10 70's
    3 350x's

    and the 90 110 125m that I need to get rid of.

    The Sperry rand tricart from the 70's is so fu%$ing ugly... The yt125 and 175 are pretty ugly but I like that the gas tanks are plastic so I won't ever worry about it rusting out.. but I will be selling them once I get a tri z 250.

    WORST TRIKE I EVER OWNED?

    none of them. I seriously like trikes so much that even the POS one`s I owned (which was all of them before a rebuild) never bothered me enough to judge them accordingly.

    I`ve given away for free dirtbikes that half ran but to this very day, I have never given away a trike.....parts from one, yes but never a whole one.

    Of the 7 bikes we own the 78 atc 90 is the worst out of the bunch its just lacking top end power. lot of pulling power but no speed.
