I found 4 Honda 3-wheelers for sale. Two of them are 185cc's, and two of them are 90cc's. He's asking $795 for all 4 of them. He told me most of them dont have much compression and need new rings. Other than that they are in good shape. What do you guys know about these 3-wheelers? I enjoy buying broken down stuff, fixing it then selling it. Could I make a profit on this?

Thanks-Max

He would probably take less than $795. These motors are just kick start 4 stroke and air cooled right? Are they four valve or two? Do they have a manual clutch? Thanks for the responses...I need to do some research on old Honda 3-wheelers.

I would buy them, but I'm into old three wheelers, yes they are all air cooled 4 strokes and they have just 2 valves, they will be pull start not the kick start I think, not sure on the 90cc ones, they have a gear box but are auto clutch,

here is a pic of mine right know, I will get a thread started soon to show everyone my build up
