Any of you guys ride these (I'm sure a few of you all do)? I currently have a beat up yet nearly mint 1985 Honda 200X. I've had 2 (think one was a '86). Also have a 2004 Yerf Dog 3203 go kart.

Sure. I've got a '96 Yamaha PW80 that my eight-year-old rides, and a '94 Kawasaki KX80 (bored to 125cc) that I ride.

I used to have a 2000 Honda XR650R, but it was too much bike for me. I also had a 2004 Polaris Predator 500 and, way back in the day, a '79 Honda XL100S.

Oh, and street bikes ... a 2001 Suzuki GZ250, an '84 Honda VT500FT, a '98 H-D Sportster 1250 that I did a top-end rebuild on, and (my last street bike) a 2001 Buell X1 Lightning.

Nice I'm more into the vintage stuff. I've been saving up some money to restore another 200X.

Sure looks a lot beefier than mine haha. I have a friend who wants to put a CR600R engine on one of those for over 100 wheel horsepower. He's crazy lol

Awesome. The 200X's are very solid trikes. One of my favorites. This is my current X, one of 2 I had. All original and it was beat to hell but its in great shape. Seat doesn't even have a tear in it. I still have all the original tires, even original helmets. Even ha the original stickers and chain. I also have a synthetic cover on the gas tank made by CEET. That is also original. You won't ever find one of them. I also took the grab bar off and put it on the other at some point.

This X has seem some s***. If it could talk, it would have some stories to tell. I love it. Really would like another one some day.






No current pics of the go cart on hand. I have a few on my computer tho.

Mines a governed 6hp 200cc Tecumseh power sport on a Yerf Dog 3203. Tops out at 30mph witch is nice for trails here. If I uncork it, I could probably get 45 mph out of it. Don't really care though, I got it brand new for $3.
