Thanks man.
It is in good running condition. The plastic in back is sort of worn, but I think I could wet sank it do look almost new. He told me he clocked it at 69 m.p.h. and wasn't even open. He just rebuilt the engine 4 months ago .30 over. I am gonna need to get a new brake cable, but who needs them anyway [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Warrior007, is right on the boring, although Kawasaki used a coating the called Electrofusion instead of nikisil. You need to see if it was really sent off and down right with the oversize piston or did someone actually bore the stock lining? Other than that, it is a good deal. The tecate-3 was the first atv to kick my ***.

man, get that thing fast, no matter what hes selling it for. i regretfully traded mine for a pickup. that thing was extremely fast, i raced a cbr600 and was pulling ahead until 70 or so, note to anyone who tries this, dont do it, the trike is very undstable on tar over 40, and wont keep the front on the ground
