added another trike to my stable....

Picked up a 85 Yama Hammer 225 DX today. Its in fair shape, needs a bit of work. But runs great, plastic/seat is decent. And it goes like stink. This is the first trike Ive owned/ridden that has rear suspension, and all I can say is it is extremely nice. On with the pic's:

Also Ive had this 83 YTM 200E since 1995.

Theres something about trikes that just seems beastly... like you don't wanna mess with them. Looks like fun

Ya I know what ya mean. Takes more skill to ride one, which I find more entertaining than a quad.

What do you think about the Honda Big Red trikes? There was a really nice mint original one here for sale a few months ago that I thought really hard about buying. My uncle used to have one just like it.

Nothing wrong with a honda, great bike as well.

Update, took it back home over the weekend. Started going over it, turns out the rear hubs were loose on both wheels. Tightened the one side up 2 turns, I wonder how the PO managed to change the hubs, install them loose and put the cotter key in with out noticing?

Also got a old slip on muffler off my dads old street bike that appears it'll fit with a lil modification

I have a 85 Honda ATC 350X, and a 85 Honda ATC 250R. Both trikes are lots of fun to ride, but I don't hardly ride them much any more since I have a 09 Harley StreetBob to ride during the warm weather months.

I've been riding trikes and quads since '81, and it was motorcross and enduro bikes before that.

Pic's of said pipe:

Sounds rad , only cost me a couple hours and some adapters and a bit of welding vs $200 for a DG pipe off ebay.

Gave it a good once over a while back and have conclude the drain plug for the rear diff was stripped. Have to weld a allen wrench into the bung. And needs front shoes/brake cable.

Also being someone swapped on YTM 200 hubs and 25" tires, it needs a different front tire. Think I may step up to a 23" tire up front vs the 22" to help even things out a bit.
