That a different caption. First time I've seen that before. Thanks!

I really dont understand people coming here to comment with really negative remarks. If you dont like something on the forum dont read it, why come into someones thread and make a douche bag remark? I think anything that keeps the talk about 3 wheelers alive is a great discussion. Never understood people having to come in and think it shows they are smart or have big internet balls by coming in and being a jerk. I for one appreciate all the leg work that is going on here. Maybe we will get some new information we never had before.

Glad to know all this is appreciated. I will get to the bottom of this someday.

With all this bitching I thought I was on kitchenworld.org At least the kid is trying. Hes enthusiastic about trikes.

As fellow enthusiasts you should welcome threads like these. Let the kid enjoy his hobby.

I think Slash has handled the ribbing very well. I think most of us are joking around, and I think Slash is a smart enough guy to get that by now......

Thanks Slash. I doubt there's anyone here that truly dislikes your research efforts, and I hope you find even more info than you have already provided us with. Good work bro.

Even if you weren't, I'm pretty used to it so I just ignore it

Thanks though. I'm really just trying to get to the bottom of this. I'd love to actually see a machine, but even if that doesn't happen, at least I've dug up some more.

I like your attitude.....Keep up the good work, and ignore the people who have nothing positive to say. It is a good life lesson far and beyond this website.

Found these from a few years back posted here on the boards. Not my photos! Just thought I'd re-share them.

I've just pieced together something.

Check out the links in this quote...

I have been researching after I seen this thread (yesterday lol) and I really don't think it was sold in Canada I'd say the most likely place if they were ever sold was Europe, since that was where most of the last model trikes went to and all the parts schematics that I have found say their was only a European model, but I can not find anything on the 87 350x but I also found out about the 86/87 125 if you look on this website it has manuals for 85 atc 500r,87 350x,87 250r http://www.bike-parts-honda.com/hond...-250-1987.html so that leads me to believe that all these models were produced and sold for a very short amount of time as prototypes even the 500r and I think your best bet is searching in Europe!!http://www.bike-parts-honda.com/hond...-250-1987.html

the serial numbers given in the links for the 1987 250R match the ones given in this photo below. Specifically all the TB06's, but then there is also a frame number in a link found here:

http://www.bike-parts-honda.com/moto...250RH-117.html

that matches perfectly with the frame number from the C-area code Canada number (the number being "TB060*HK600050"). These sources are unrelated and no affiliated with each other in any way.




Now check this engine number out from the main article on 3WW's home page:



We have a 3-way match with physical evidence....

That's a little more convincing.

There have been selective pieces of the 87s out. I think probably atleast a few of the "school" engines were probably originally destined for 87 machines, as evidence by that engine vin tag thats from the article on the main page. The Japanese bike with the 87 plastics is another example. There is pretty solid evidence of 87 specific parts and pieces being in the wild - whole machines definitely up for debate. http://www.3wheelerworld.com/content...onda-250R-350X for those of you that haven't read it or need a refresher

I'm just waiting for something else to come popping up.

I should give Honda a call and see if they can run any of these serial numbers to see if I can possibly get any new information out of them. I know I was specifically asked for VIN's, but these are all we have to go on right now. They seem to be cooperative overall. I just wish they were less uptight about their history, but they seem to be a little more relaxed these days.


Billy if it's not too much of a hassle, do you think you could add some of this stuff to the main article (or link to this thread)? I know I don't have much conclusive stuff but I am trying.

[jakep53]

wow some good detective work there man I knew I could help ot somehow lol

[Billy Golightly]

I also have some pictures of an 87 HA2 cylinder as well. HA2 being the ATC product code of course.

[slashfan7964]

If it's not a hassle, could you post them up?

[Billy Golightly]

These pictures came from Tim Kinjerski, who emailed them to me several months ago after seeing the 87's page. I just haven't gotten stopped and put them on the page, but here they are.
