What do you think its worth ?

Im looking at a 1985 Kawasaki Tecate 3 wheeler a guy has for sale. He says he bought it new in 85. Its all complete and in VERY nice shape for its age. I was thinking it would be fun for trail riding in ONF. Any thoughts on what might be a good price for something like that ? Thanks !

that thing is FAST! dont know what a good price would be but the honda 3 wheelers sell for a buttload of money. that one is supposed to be as fast as a 250r 3 wheeler. i would buy it.

p.s. if you get it be careful! my dad had two friends that died on those.

Rumor has it that you have enough old, non-running junk and you're not allowed to buy it. :M

Seriously, I haven't seen one of those in decent shape for sale in a couple of years, and the last time I did, the guy wanted $2300.00 for it...

hey tim, i was coming back from maitland the other day and saw a quadzilla at "motorcycles of apopka." not sure if it is for sale, but thought that you might be interested. i am not sure their phone number, but you might want to check it out. from the road everything looked good on it. I even think it had a beer can holder on it for ya. got ya name wrote all over it.

I saw that gery. Naw smoke I gots enough of the zilla stuff. And who you calling OLD BBConvibber ? You with your old , wrinked ass self ! This guy is asking $1200. for it. Its the red one if that matters.

cheropride · July 24, 2006, 04:37:21 PM

Wow I quess I shouldn't of just given my 185 away for free, lol. Looking back now, that was a little dumb, but it was a good friend, but he did get some awesome tires!! No but in all seriousness, I only paid $300 for my old 185S 4-wheeler, I can't believe that they would get that much. WOW..

rednipj · July 24, 2006, 04:41:27 PM

I seen a couple for 1000 and they were NOT in very nice shape. 1200 sounds like a pretty good buy.

I was just curious for you, saw this add for $650.00. Grant it may not be in as good shape as the other, but to give your a price range. I personally would offer the least amount first and see what he says. Does he give you an idea of what he thinks the bike is worth?

I would assume he thinks the $1200. he wants for it. I might start at $1000. and see what he says. Cash in hand speaks volumes.

SO true So true, money talkes BS walks - Good Luck....

That's crazy because I've had the same urge to buy an old 3 wheeler to tinker with. I'm bidding on a Tecate and a 250R on ebay right now. I think you told me you live in Ocala, right? If you get it holler at me and we can get together and scope out our new/old ATV...er no, ATC's. I also might need to pick your brain on some Quadzilla stuff. I bought one last week, and dropped it off at Torri Racing on Sat. to get tore down.

You have a PM.

UncleRico · July 24, 2006, 07:18:32 PM

I can't imagine it being worth more than $800.00

I'd like to find one of those Honda Odyssey FL 350's in good shape. Those things use to HAUL AZZ!. You could flip it down a dune, roll it over, land on all 4's and drive away.

I wish they'd bring those things back.

fastrnrik · July 24, 2006, 07:47:54 PM

I'm not a big Honda person, but I think they made something similar to the Odyssey later on. I think it was called the "Pilot" maybe?

cheropride · July 24, 2006, 08:11:58 PM

Oh now that brings back memories the Odyssey!!!! And yea, I have to agree w/you on price too. Like I said before, I bought a 185 a few years back for $300.00 and that thing ran great....
