1984 Big Red 200es LIKE NEW inherited please take a look!

[fordtech90]

I recently inherited this 200es Big Red Honda ATC. I had a 200M growing up so this of course brought back lots of memories but this one is same as day it came off showroom almost and is in awesome shape! I rebuilt carb new oil, fresh air filter, fresh plug and it runs like it would of in 84. Have been considering trading it for a bike for the dunes but not sure if I could ever let it go hate to see someone tear it up!

very nice man! like the suicide shift! is that thing road legal!

[wisconsinite]

that a very nice bike! if you do decide to get rid of it, there are a lot of collectors on this site who would appreciate it's condition and not abuse it.

[fordtech90]

Id be interesting in selling it to a collector, and it isnt street legal imagine it could be in some places though. Or id trade it for another bike.

VERY nice!!

Can I have the front rack??

[badass350x]

wow I have a spitting image of that bigred in my shop except without the turn sigs an windshield, same shifter.. even have the original ticket of origin from 84..

[fordtech90]

yeah its pretty sweet, every nut and bolt looks like new, the rear diff has obviously never been dirty before the frame isnt even scratched up from grass supposedly only used to get mail from box which is a 100 yard jog..

I say keep it. Must have some sentimental value to you.

Can you do me one favor? Take some pictures of the controls, i would like to see how they did the horn and turn signal controls on it. I have a windshield i could put on my 200ES and i have seen bits and pieces of the turn signals but never a good shot of how the controls were done up on the bars.

That is a time capsule of a trike, absolutely stunning!!! I would keep it and ride it now and then and enjoy it.

Dang...that's one beautiful trike. Just when I thought I've seen the "mintest" ATC out there, someone posts another pic of one even nicer. You've got yourself a gem Fordtech90. Glad to see you're not going to sell/trade it to someone who's going to 'rat-bag' it. Sure it's okay to ride it, but that would be criminal if someone ended up with this beauty then beat the crap out of it.
Can you share the story on how you inherited it? Was it in the family? Original owner before you?

[fordtech90]

My great uncle bought it brand new, and used it to go to mailbox and a quarter mile down road to my grandmas house. Signals and horn are all on one control mounted on bars ill get a picture sometime . I was first to receive call when my great aunt and uncle both had passed and ended up with an 83 step side f100 302 4 speed truck in same condition and a 74 xlt ranger with factory ac and 390. All have service records and look like new.

ya, the story would be awesome if you dont mind ? and thats a beauty. i would keep it as i sold one of my trikes last year and regret it every day... thay dont make m likee that anymore..... just awesome thanks for sharing....

[kb0nly]

Wow... You really got a heck of an inheritance!

And ok on the controls, so its separate from the kill switch/headlight/start button control on the left side? I will be watching for a picture when you get time. I haven't seen one in person that had the turn signals and horn so i'm curious. I have been thinking of adding on to mine, its a utility, i haul and plow snow with it all over town.

[Keepah Rolln]

Very nice...keep it!!!

[fordtech90]

Yeah I love it, and KBonly the switch is one assember has a button on top button on side closest to you and a triangular toggle on left side its a small switch clamped onto bars its factory looking and has its own wire loom not just individual wires ran everywhere. I probably shouldnt of even considered craigslist but I was dumb and decided Id see what Id get offered...talk about ticking me off..got calls offering 200 bucks, 600 and 800 bucks...are people really that ignorant? I mean come on...you can barely buy a beat up ran down 400ex for 2000, or a utility quad for 3000....and this is a collectors item (a piece of history) and people think its worth LESS....sad...I was told by several people not to take a penny less than 3,000 if I sold it and if I traded it would have to be a heck of a sport quad like I want in great condition. Some of you will probably think I was dumb for posting it but I was just curiosu as to its value..and obviously what people had to say really irritated me so I deleted the post.
