I would suggest Honda for sure
First choice 200X
If she can work with a clutch this is probably best bet has good suspension

Second choice 200S
Has semi auto clutch and front suspension

Best bet Look on craigs list in your local area under RV or Motorcycle
You could do surch but you really have to think of anything anyone could call a 3 wheeler , ATC
I have found several out there
Just look
Problem with Ebay is everyone thinks they are rare and then people run the cost up then you have to deal with where it is and hope it is what they say it is
try craigs list it is free
Thanks
Good luck
Ray

check your local cycle salvage.
They normaly let trikes go for next to nothing and it's not like these things are hard to peice back together.

I agree with my good man up top that the 200s and 200x are excellent choices. Another great one is the 185s, being as they rev a little quicker than the 200s and that helps for getting over obsticles. Though the 200s is a little more relaxing to ride.

you know
I was going to recomend the 185S but I have one and the only issue is they have no front suspension at all at least mine don't
And depending on the rider could just beat them
That was my only thought was at least front suspension for a Female rider
Sorry to ramble

she will. Speaking of the good old 200x my friend's has been really tough to start of late so we figured we would tare it down and restore it all the way through. So we dug around and pooled our surplus parts (high compression piston, cobra pipe, uni filter and I gave him a set of nice rims and dunlops) but we figured out that the starting issue was due to the fact that the cam lobes have simply disappeared with all the abuse over the years, good excuse to pick up a nice nasty one.

Any recomendations?

forgot about the tri moto, also one that my friend does not like to admit to having is the klt 200 (we call it the slow one) it is a nice trike for a learner with electric start and a Hi/Lo range transmission. Weird little scoot though, infact the only way I would look at them as worth the money is if it was given to me, even then still sketchy.

Everybody seems to forget the 250SX too. Full suspension, electric start, reverse, and shaft drive. They are a little bigger and heavier, but great rides none the less.
