This machine is GREAT. I know that you already know about these things if you're looking at this auction. This thing is an actual barn find. Original owner said it only has about 30 or 40 hours total on it. Back when he got it they banned these from the trails because of the bad rep they got back then, and it sat in the barn most of it's life, until 2 years ago the barn started falling apart and it was brought back to life. It recently has had the calipers replaced with new ones and new fluid of course. I believe a carb clean was also done. I have wheelied it briefly in my yard for fun. Probably not nearly as high as it seemed to me and pretty briefly. That was my way of testing how clean the carb is. lol Only did that once, if not twice. Now that i've got a 250sx i've been riding that mostly, other than to ride the 350x occasionally just to keep it healthy and exercised. I've been having a lot of fun with it, not railing it but just riding around the yard in first and second gear, you can ride it how you want to ride it but I ride it keeping in mind that it's a classic. The pictures don't' really show too well but there are a couple of dents in the tank where the original owner hit his knee (he said it hurt like heck, well yea i guess so LOL) I was planning on finding a mint tank to put on it but they run like $450 so yea that'll wait. The one on there looks good inside and I haven't had any problems with fuel or anything. Just kill switch on, move the choke forward, press the kick starter down to the bottom to release compression, and kick.. and it starts within like 1, 2, or 3 kicks usually, if it's cold. 1 kick when it's warm of course, with the choke off. The original owner is a very mature man, full head of silver hair i think he must be in his 50's or 60's, and i believe he works in the defense department. Seems pretty intelligent and responsible. Anyway, back to the bike, I just ride it around on my acre of land and its FUN. I would love to keep it but I need the money right now and I just picked up it's little brother the 250sx so I'll be okay. I actually one one in a more used condition because this one i don't want to ride and do any damage to it.. and mess up the hard to find parts like the black mud flap on the back. I'd rather a collector finish up restoring this one and preserve it. It starts up pretty easily (so long as i remember to put the run switch in the middle lol) , runs well, and is pretty reliable. Honda made a great 3 wheeler with these things. I'm pretty confident you'll love this thing, because I know I do. I love how it turns tighter than a 4 wheeler too. Oh and I have a clear Maryland Title in my name. This machine is valuable and it's great to have a title to prove ownership should you ever need to. BTW look at YouTube for these things, they float! The original owner told me and I was shocked and believed him, but seeing it for myself helped lol. Just full disclosure, the plastics have superficial scratches, if you look closely in the pics you'll see them. Luckily i don't think the stickers have any damage. (check the pics to be sure.) Gas tank is functional and okay but not near perfect and I'd want to replace it just like i'd want to replace a dented fender on a classic automobile. Not that i notice the dents much or that it bothers me, i usually forget about them and don't see them because i'm too busy enjoying the ride and the look and originality of the trike overall.. but I just want to mention it so no one will feel like they are getting something that i didn't fully describe to the best of my abilities. With a fair deposit i'm willing to drive an hour towards you to save you about 2 hours of round trip driving. It's listed for sale locally for $3500 or best offer and i'm starting the auction at $2000 to let you all determine it's worth. Please do not contact me asking if I will accept $2000. I will not. We all know it's worth more than that. It doesn't smoke. It doesn't leak. I had 100 people watching it the last time i listed it. (the most watchers I've ever had for any eBay auction!) I took it off last time for a guy who flaked out on me. Lesson learned, but at least I got to spend more time, enjoying owning it. Finally I just want to say the auction is for the price you bid. It's not a selling start off negotiation price. If I drive an hour to meet you, don't try tonegotiate $1000 less or a penny less. There are people who want to pay their bid price, and that's whom I want to deal with. You will owe me the exact balance from the sales price minus your deposit. Thank you. Good luck. I'm excited for you an the ATC. I hope a good match up happens.
