So i am curious. If you had to choose one ATC for all situations, that one bike that you always gravitate towards...what would it be?

85-87 Big Red, but alas I'll have to settle for my '84 as that is what I have. My buddy has a '86 and it sure is nice to have front & rear suspension. My hunting buds have newer much more expensive quads but I prefer the trike for the tight woods, I can get in between trees that they can't, and I haven't found a situation yet where they can get through that I can't.

See I like the 350x, but mainly because it is the biggest they ever made. If I had the chance to get one I would jump on it, but there are two reasons it would not be my ONE trike...no reverse and kick start.

I am going with the 250sx. Now this could easily change when I ride a 350x, but to me the electric start option when she is cold is NICE and plus the reverse gear comes in quite handy.

It is fun pulling out 750+ big bore quads with my 29 year old 250sx...especially since I have a tenth in it compared to those monsters out there now.

I'm hunting for a 250 big red. Then thinning the rest of the herd a bit.

If I had to choose just one, I'd have to say the 250SX..

A bit of sporty, a bit of utility..definitely loves the mud!! Shaft drive, reverse, Estart, full suspension..gotta love those features. A well rounded machine.

But then I don't have to choose just one..thank god for that!!!! :w00t:

I would pick a 250sx I think. Never owned one, but I would snatch one up if the right deal came along. For now, I have 200x's. Fun for sure, but the wife can't drive them. Not sure that's a bad thing lol.

Hard to say...... I ride the kids 70 everywhere. Currently gathering parts for my 70 with a 125 lifan. Just got the BR running again and soaking the carb- not sure if I like the 200es yet. Id like to have a 200x tho

What I find interesting is NO one is saying a Yamaha or a Kawi...or even the Polaris...

250ES for me. I expected to prefer the SX, but the big red is such a good machine and handles so good on bad terrain. That of course is if I had to choose just one.

I dunno my 225 dr is my main rider so it is probably my favourite so far but I haven't rode a sport bike yet!! but this is why I have 14 because I can't choose which is the best!!

Mine would be a 350x. I can ride fast, I can ride slow, it has a pretty good ride, it's pretty good on gas. Of course I haven't ridden a 250sx-another one I missed out on buying over the years. I'm not sure what everyone considers cold, but I've ridden my 350x several times when the temperature has been in the 20's with snow on the ground. It wasn't too bad to start then.

85 Big Red 250es. It works hard and still is fun for trail riding and playing in the mud. Best all around ATC made.

250sx for sure, using a clutch kinda sucks in the woods

Such a hard pick... the 250es big red, 250sx, and the 350x all are great machines, at trike fest I ended up riding the 250sx just as much as the 350x. The smaller machines are ok, but personally it is tied with the 250sx and the 350x, I like speed, but yet I use my machines for work too, so the 350x isn't so great with pulling a trailer. Good thing I'm like the rest here, don't have to limit myself to a single machine, so I have 18+ in total.
