I'd say a 200x would be a good trike for you, I disagree about the speed mentioned earlier because in stock form they'll do 55mph (I used to own an 85). As for trikes being good in snow, they aren't bad as long as it's not too deep, keep in mind they're no snowmobile. As of now I have a mint completely original 83 185s, and a restored 85 tri z 250.

 

Don't get me wrong they aren't as stable as fourwheelers, But not near as tippy as they are made out to be.
They don't handle the same either. Riding one when comapred to a quad is pretty diffrent. Not nessarily a "bad diffrent". They require more body english than a quad but it keeps you on your toes and makes for an interesting ride.
I think they are alot of fun, Because of their nimbleness they are sometimes more fun than quads on trails.

 

My 200X WILL NOT DIE, and i beat that thing pritty hard all the time. They are great trikes. You wouldnt want to get a 250R or any 250 2-stroke. Your only 125 pounds with no experience. You will kill your self.

My trikes go throw snow all day

 

a 300x is too big. my dad had one. sold it, then we kept seeing it all around town being sold again, weekly. it was a solid bike, never broke, but no one could ride it. grow men we cowering at the sight of this bike. it was a mean machine, go with the 200x

 

My buddy has a 185. It won't die either. It has been sank(water), ran into, flipped, crashed, and sank in a huge mud pit. All of my buddies would go over there on weekends and beat the snot out of it all the time! I'm a Honda man 4 LIFE!

 

Theyre not the greatest in the snow becuase it gets somewhat hard to turn. If you go in a straight line or not so deep snow they do pretty good. If you ever get stuck they are easy to get out cuz they arent as heavy as a quad. I have an old 85 Honda 250sx, i love beatin the heck out of it. Its a perfect mud bogger, just get some good muddin tires.

 

altimex, i haven't ridden any of the other mentioned 3wheelers, but a friend of mine does have a 250R that i sometimes swap rides on and let me tell you, that is probably not the best bike to learn on. If you have limited experience then u might be better off on the four strokes. trikes are a lot of fun to ride though, quite a bit different from 4wheelers. good luck finding a bike.

 

Once you master how to RIDE a 3-wheeler, you will think a quad is not very exciting. I miss my old 3-wheelers sometimes especaily my 350X,and TRI-Z.


But I got to big for them and had to go to the DS[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] My brother stil has a mint 350X, and fro time to time I will get on it and just laugh my a$$ off,cause they are so fun!!




Bigger.

 

altimex..

If you are a beginner who wants a 3 wheeler that will still be fun then you can't go wrong with a Honda 200x. I bought the thing new when I was 12 years old and have never had to replace anything on it besides the tires. The dependability of these things are incredable! This year I finally moved up to a 4 wheeler because I could finally afford it and I just got too big for the 200x at 6'2 200lbs. As far as how they will do in snow, I feel that with some agressive tires in the back, they are better than 2wd 4 wheelers. Less rolling resistance with 1 tire to push.


Just my opinion.....

 

Go with the 350x.I had one , they are great.They have a good suspension, powerful, you wont out grow it.And someday it will be worth some money, since they dont make them anymore.The 350x is a great trike.If you think the 350x might be a little to big, then go with the 200x, the 200x is basically the 350x's little bro.
