Hey all - I am fairly new to three wheeled toys - spent a fair amount of time on 2-wheeled ones. I recently picked up what is supposed to be a 1981 Honda ATC 200 - what makes it a little unique is that at least part of it appears to have been rented by U-Haul at one time (no way to say if the whole unit, or just the fenders were part of the rental). There is another post on here titled "Vintage U-Haul ATC200 Rental" - I am fairly certain I ended up with the three-wheeler that was spoke of in that post. I was just curious if anyone else has one of these with fiberglass fenders or not, and if so, if they know anymore about it than what the older thread revealed. Nobody ever got to see the finished product in the old thread, so I thought I would post these for all to see. Let me know what you think

When I was a kid, my dad used to rent one or two from U-Haul for my cousins to ride when we would all go out to the Monahans Sand Dunes. I thought they were 185s...I guess they were 200s.

Awesome find...I'm amazed that it's in such good shape. We used to thrash those things! Cuz...you know...it's a RENTAL!

I saw that post it was a good read - folks in that thread wanted to see the finished product so I thought I would post - I almost hate to ride the thing!

Wow those fenders are in amazing shape. Nice find indeed. Man, those were the days eh where a company would rent a 3 wheeled "death machine."
