Still a large cult following for those. Personally I cannot see why, but people get nostalgic about some weird shit and pay good money for it

A friend of mine got killed riding his. He rode up a concrete drainage culvert and it flipped backwards on top of him and crushed his skull. He was 9 years old at the time and we use to ride together all the time. I had a Honda mini bike at the time.

Look on criagslist, there's usually a couple for sale. It'll give you an idea of prices. I sold a pretty Suzuki 125 3 wheeler for $500 last summer. A guy wanted it for the deer lease and couldn't afford a four-wheeler. My wife was kinda pissed at me for selling it - she liked it better than her four-wheeler.
Honda is the most popular 3 wheeler and the Big Red will bring decent money if its fixed up right.
As everybody has said, respect their limitations. Steep hills and turns will get ya if you're being stupid.

I ended up putting a snorkle air filter way up on the top of the frame. We used to chase each other and ram one another. We would do every thing we could to try and roll them. I would rather have one of the later 400's with the live suspension or a Pilot. I had no fear driving those things.

I had a 250R in my younger years. There is a website that is all about 3 wheelers, maybe 3wheelerworld or something like that. You can see what that stuff is worth there.
Not sure if any of you followed the racing back then, but a ex-Honda pro rider, Mike Coe, has written pages of stuff about racing back then. Cool stuff to read if you followed it. It was on the 3 wheeler world site. Marty Hart, who races the trucks now, used to be a Honda backed rider also.
