3 wheeler info sought

Post by JDT »

Got a option on a package deal that includes a 1983 KLT200 Kawasaki 3-wheeler.

I know condition is everything but this has sat in a barn for 17 years and turns over.
All plastics are in place.

What is it worth in running condition?

I have no clue. Thanks Guys.

Turns out the ATV is a 81 model.
Yesterday it barked to life for the first time in 17 years.

Pics in a few days.

Should be worth a few bucks. Most collectors like to here it was a barnfind. If it cleans up nice and runs good i would list it for 6-800 around here. The kawi 3 wheelers are pretty rare there was not many produced.
currently own: 83 sprintfire
80 spitfire (basket case)
have owned: 78 spitfire
80 spitfire
77 300 green machine

Honda had the market wrapped up with the ATC's. Patents galore. The Yamaha's had the engines placed too far back and were light in the front end and the Kawasaki's had the engines placed too far forward and were heavy in the front. As far as livability, the Honda's were by far the best. But the others were much more rare because Honda had the market wrapped tight. Collectibility may be in favor of these brands however because there were less of them built.

I still have a 1985 Honda ATC 250SX in really nice condition and really enjoy the thing. A very nicely balanced machine on so many levels.
