I would like to get yall's  expert opinion on this trike. Seems like a reasonable deal.
? Maybe get it for less.

       Didd I miss what year it is? If you have cash throw  $9800.00 on the table and see if they bite. Found out even at a dealer cash IS king.  cooldude RIDE SAFE.

 Talked to owner. It's a 2003 model. He had the Motor Trike conversion done about 3 years ago. Going to go look at it tomorrow. He seemed eager to get rid of it. But. Said he was not going to give it away.  Spent $10,000 on the Motor Trike conversion. cooldude

Looking on the interweb. Looks like $9800.00  may be too much.

Would think the VTX1800 fuel injection Trike would get better mileage than a Valkyrie Trike. One of the only complaints I have about my Wife’s 2000 Valkyrie Interstate Trike is the mileage. She only gets 22-23mpg at 70mph on Interstates. We end up looking for gas at 100-110 miles. Love everything else about her Trike.

that trike kit is still worth about 8 grand then consider what the bike would be worth as far as mileage and age. i bet if it was totaled the insurance company would still price it out at around 13 to 15. grand.

Wow that is good mileage. I only get 32-35 with my 1999 Interstate. I’ll have to get BF to sync her carbs and she if that helps with her mileage.
