Yamaha was way smarter in the brakes department. Mechanical disc in the rear at least. Easy to set up and rarely failed. Even their drums up front seem to work better than Honda’s ever did.

Honda drum breaks. Terrible right up till the mid 2000’s

Honda drum breaks. Terrible right up till the mid 2000’s

200m is alright. It has the best front shocks when it comes to the utilities anyways. And with the proper balloon tires on, it will float. At least my buddies did back when we were 140lb teenagers. And being an 85, it’s an up shifter which is a bonus.

Parts fiche sites like Partzilla.com are great for searching parts. It’s shows availability of parts, whether they have stock or if obsolete. Also cross references any other machine these parts may have been used on. Have had lots of dealers try and tell me stuff is no longer available, but it...

Red Deer River out west of Sundre in the ghost. Make sure one has functioning brakes in that area. Subscribing to the first gear theory can get a guy into trouble real quick.

That won’t follow where I go with the sand paddles and Tri-Z or even the 350x lol. Mud is a different story. I’ll fire up the grizzly for that. Trikes n mud really isn’t a lot of fun.

Haha don’t we all want a 3rd gen R. Probably your best option right now is to import one. Guys are wanting way to much here. Had a shot at one fairly local to me this spring. Guy was asking $7500. I went and looked at it, cases had been into, steering stem bearings were shot, hubs so worn out...

How soon are you looking to buy? Wanting something for the winter to ride or kinda thinking fix/build over winter for spring? I’m working on a project right now and if all goes well, I may have a 200s I’ll let go for reasonable. Runs great, there’ll be some plastic swapping and I’ll be keeping...

Couple years ago you could buy and then sell and make money with the way Covid was driving the market. Prices are still high right now, but more people are backing down from buying at those prices. Starting to see it maxed out and perhaps dropping in places. Models like the 85-86 350x and 85-86...

Fat cat engine is a bit different than the trike 200’s. Second generation 200 so to speak. Same as the 86-87 200x is all. Not sure about the 200sx quad if it’s the same.

Not at this time nope. When I get after building my 84 big Red, I’ll perhaps let the 83 Red go. Got an 84 Trx200 quad I would sell perhaps. It has racks and trunk lid now since this pic was taken.

Lol yeah there’s a few of them around here. Downsized a bit in the last year or so though. Think last count is 20. Plus a bunch of other 70’s - 80’s vintage stuff. Bikes, quads, odysseys.

Ain’t nothing cheap out there anymore though. Guys want a grand for beat up barely running trash. That non running bike you used to get for a case of beer is now $500.

200s is fine, but it’s a hard tail and well, it gets hard on the back after awhile. I’d look for a 250sx. A machine is only as dangerous as the person riding it. Lose respect for it and it’ll hurt you. They’re really not that hard to ride. Full suspension handles better naturally, Tires with a...

Debated on whether to unload it today or maybe tomorrow. It’s supposedly nice tomorrow so I’ll do it then and wash it.

And you can’t call it a Jetson without the cool Hanna Barbara Jetson car sounds.

I can barely fly one of those with a remote and not hit stuff. Can only imagine how much worse it would be with me in it lol.

Not a whole lot. Put some fresh gas in, filled some tires with air. Maybe move a few things around the yard and use the 12v power point and tire pump to fill random tires on other machines so I can put stuff away preparing for snow. The problem when you hoard, there’s always units randomly...

Whiny neighbours have started a petition to shut them down, so I guess TORE has started one to stay open.
