Perhaps you could have some fun motoring around town in one of these. I was offered one years ago and after looking at one closely i declined to buy it for $900( cheap at the time when new ones were selling around $2500). It could not be started, Had some cracked fiberglass in the front,And from my view was rather lacking of any kind of good frame or suspension. If you like tinkering and buying a lot of little parts and don't mind the 35 mph top speed, it could be a learning experience for you. Otherwise Look for something that can keep up with the cars and be reliable enough that your not afraid to drive it more than 50 miles from home.
Sorry for my poor opinion but i've bought used chinese motorcycles and quads that usually ended up with me selling them cheap.

At this stage in my life over 70 years old, I would love to have Ryker but I just can't see putting that much money it that or a Spyder, so if I can get him under 500 buck I may deal with him, built me a motorized bike and had a little fun with it, thanks for your input.

Well, $500 will not break the bank of most so as long as you know up front its a $500 bike.....
One deal I should NOT have passed on was two Corbin Sparrows. Both had bad 12 batteries, 14 in each, and were selling for $2500 for both. But 24 new Optma batteries was about $3600 and still gave CRAPPY range. So to convert to Lithumn was about $3500 each or $7,000. I could have sold one Sparrow with a Lithumn pack for about $10,000.

If you live in the Jacksonville area, there are a few reverse trikes around. You said you looked at the Chinese trikes in Orange Park, so I assume you are local. There is a Honda Gold Wing rt in the Mandarin area. It is yellow. There is a total home built rt on the westside with four cylinder power and part of an airplane fuselage. It is off white and fairly large. I have the black JZR from the northside, near the airport. There are a couple more that I have seen in passing, but no definitive info. Good luck on your decision. |
