Do you have a Favorite?

[Legns]

So because im board and I am curious to see the responses. What is your favorite trike and why? Mine is the 85-87 250es Big Red because when i was young i saw it for the first time covered in dust in a barn and thought to my self this is just awesome. It was love at first site and to think 20years later I finally have one to call my own. :w00t:

Honestly in my opinion the 85-86 250r's and 350x's are the best trikes I've ever rode, while many others are great in their own right. The 250r&350x are the nastiest ATC to just hop on and go from stock.

Gotta give some love for the 83-85 200x.... Power to weight is great, the bike is nimble and light, and will compliment a wide range of riding styles.

While not the powerhouse the 2 strokes are, it can be built to throw down serious power, and the swapability of parts and even engines from late model bikes is a huge benefit. There are several engine swaps that will nearly bolt in, including engines that are up to 30cc larger, and even bigger.

From a fabricators standpoint, the round tube frame is easy to work with, and the bike can be easily built for flat track, trail use, motocross, and even the street....:D

My favorite would be the Liquid cooled 250R. (85+) They are super fast, have lots of power, have a crazy amount of suspension travel, and of course TONS of modern aftermarket support.

85 250R. We had one along with a 350X when they were new. It was the best dune toy then. It's the best now. I guess I should say 85 & 86 but I only have 1st hand experience with the 85.

I'm a BIG boy so the 200Xs I had recently were only adequate in the dunes. Great trail bikes - maybe better than the R - but underpowered for me in the dunes.

I do have a soft spot for an 82 185s. It was the first new motor vehicle of any type I ever bought and I rode it hard and it always came back for more. Before I sold it, it had full suspension (weld on no-name, they were prolific 84) and the loudest pipe ever (Bill's). It was also totally outclassed by the 1st gen 200X. I replaced it with an 82 250R that had a 300 kit, +12 swinger, Bassani pipe, etc.

Might be nice to have one around.

But, like I said in the other thread - if I can only have one, it would be the 85R.

[Bigred97]

Without a question the 85 Big Red 250es

[Keepah Rolln]

The agway 310...Than a close second would be the 250 sx and 350x....

[trikeguy2014]

85/86r for play 85-87 big red 250 for work... Gotta have them both

[f76]

Of course I highly enjoy my 200x and 350x, but I have a quite the fondness for my little klt 110. It was given to me for free with a honda 110 gas tank half full of leaves and water, rough plastic, and poor tires. I think I have $50 in it and it runs like a champ. There is just something about giving it a pull, listening to that exhaust leak and pathetic excuse of a muffler on the back pop away, hoping on, shifting through all five gears before I'm out the driveway, all whilst it fogs nice rich and oil burning smoke. I'll be rebuilding the top end this winter.

[86125m]

If I had to choose it would be my 86 125m every time however I am quite fond of my 84 200m that I built from the ground up.

[Ghostv2]

I'll let you know after I ride them all.

But my favorite is my dads 200s. It's been his since new and I've grown up riding it and ride it to this day.

[atc007]

Hands down , 250 Big Red :). But who can fault ANY ATC Honda made.. Tri Z s were sexy. To me,, 1st gen Tecates are sexy as heck. Not a great fan of 2nd gens.. They look way too squeezed to me. Yes, I know I am alone with that :)). Great pics Joe! Who's 87 TRX is that # 23 parked next too? :) :) :)

[MIK6]

The agway 310....
Now thats one ya dont hear very often! Lol
I DO have a orange agway 305 that is a fun yard toy! Tuff to trail ride but a blast to go camp hopping on at TF!

That is me and my Brothers Sparks built TRX250X. Check out the Duncan Racing "one off" front bumper. Had Loren build it just for us. As far as I know it was the only one built for a 250X.

Judson ran it in the amateur class his first year on the quad. He went on to win the Grand National Championship in the ProAm class beating out Tim Farr the following year.
This first pic is how we had it set up to campaign the National Series. It had never been raced. Still all new.

This second pic is at Loretta Lynn's in the infamous Whoop Section. It was the final race of the season and where he wrapped up the Championship.

Super great stuff. That's what I Thought.. But Never put 2 and 2 together till you posted that pic earlier,and I thought,,,I wonder if they're related :) Love the setup on that X :) I never saw that exact cut on a 200X tank. It sure got the job done! Thanx for sharing man!!

[jakep53]

my favourite now is my 82r that I just got today!!

[Legns]

I am noticing a trend that most are Honda trikes on here. :) I had to look up the agway 310 I had never heard about that one before and I can't seem to find any pictures of one either. If someone has one and can post some pics that would be awesome

[jakep53]

not the best pic but the only one i could find

[Legns]

not the best pic but the only one i could find

Thats the one I saw when I searched for it but it said something about it being called a Rosco but i like that it's a nice looking trike

[czac]

350X all though I never had one it was always the holy grail of trikes to me!

[Degoragon]

I wouldn't mind having a Honda ATC 250SX or a Yamaha YTM 225DX, either one seems pretty awesome and I love the way they look. for a hi performance machine, i like the look of the first gen 250R.

[Ghostv2]

Why is everyone grave digging lately?

[strykerlover]

Honestly, if I had to choose one, I would want all of them!!! I don't discriminate! I even like Yamaha's. LOL!!! how about that!

[Buck Snort]

I sold my 350X lately which is a sore spot. But have bought 3 more trikes, so that helps the pain. One was a 250sx and I starting to think this might be my favorite. The other two machines are a 81 and 83 250R. Love the 81 and need a new throttle cable before a ride on the 83 happens. But I should give the nod to my 82 Big Red , it simply has given me years and years of use and fun!
