I'm currently looking for my 1st one preferably a 86-87 tecate.Even tho I have ridden Banshee's 450s if I was to get a 200 x would I be bored?What do you guys gals suggest?I had a chance to have bought a 350x 7 years ago for 2200 it was like new.A buddy told me thats too much for something that old and I got talked out of it.1 more question where do you guys ride these all on private property?has any 1 snuck there wheeler into 1 of these pay an ride places? Thanks for the responses ,Now I have the means $$$$ and my kid dream of owning 1,there isnt anymore or most of them are hacked up.

 

If you're used to banshees and 450s don't bother with a 200x. I would reccoomed a 250r, tri-z, or T-3 if you want the powerband, or the 350x for a good all around trike. I perfer riding my 350x for everyday riding and my 250r for the every now and then wild ride. Don't be fooled by the 4 stroke, the 350x is an awesome bike. If I had to pick either the R or X it would probably be the X. And I ride on private land. Food for thought: if u get an X you may want to shell out 300.00 for a Goki elec. start kit. I got one cause I was tired of limping around with a swollen ankle, if u get one that kicks back it can send you over the handlebars.

 

What am I looking price wise for the 350x or 250 R?Ive seen em from for about 1400-1600 all the way up past 3500 for a 250R :O I think these people are on smack.Ty for your reply.I'd take it out to anthracite reading most likely just have to find out if I can ride it.I dont know any 1 w private property,committing a small crime is way easier then finding someplace to ride in nj.

 

Around where I live ( S. Louisiana ) a T-3 is pretty much extinct, a descent 250r would run about 2,000.00 - 2,500.00 and a descent X around 1,000.00. Yeah people with the Rs don't like to get off them for cheap. Most everybody I know says public riding areas let them ride, most go just for the wow factor.........to see peoples faces when you pull up trailoring a nice R or X is priceless.

 

I remember in 1987 being 12 and seeing this machine in dirtwheels,it said watch that axe eugene!I thought that was the coolest bike ever,I still do I kind of bleed green.Dad was like typical parent,where you going to ride it?My answer everywhere and anywhere and the back yard.The old man was like nope you arent gonna ride it in the backyard,the neighbors will go stir crazy.That backyard comment always got the old man for some reason if not the other answer not enough room to ride 1.DOHH I wish bikes were still 2400

 

Any luck yet?

 

No still looking,saw a 350 x for 1400 by me.I just need to know where i can ride em before I buy 1.Some places/tracks wont allow trikes.I dont own private land and Nj is so controlled they might as well resurrect the gestapo.

 

should be able to find a good running R or X for around $1500 but depends on location too

Yeah I finally have found it even tho its not a 250 sporty,I got a 85 200 x for 200 bucks it was right under my nose,The mechanic at work had it use to pull his kids around on it in the snow.
