1985 BigRed 200

[BrianDye]

So I sold my 185s for 450, when I paid 300 for it, and I want a bigger one, I just found a 200 Big Red ('85) on craigslist for 350$ but hes a couple hours away, and I really wanna buy it. It doesnt have much info besides saying the rear tires have slow rim leaks, can fix a flat or something fix that? Or do I need to take the tires in somewhere to get new tubes put in or something?


Do these have electric start? reverse?

OK - few things - #1 - there is no 1985 Big red 200. It is either a 1985 Big red 250 - or if 1984 or older a 200. the 1984 Big Red had E-Start and reverse - 1983 and 1982 had E start, hi-lo gearbox but no reverse. the 1985 - 1987 250cc Big red have reverse, E-start, and rear suspension.

As for your tire situation - I do not like fix-a-flat - and would suggest getting them tubed. Most ATV tires are tubeless - but you can always put a tube in them.

Well, im just going by what the ad said about "Big Red" lol here it was: http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/mcy/1592268594.html

I called him and he sold it already :(

That is a 200cc big red. 84 or older...

that was a 1984 Big Red. too bad, that looked like a good trike for $350.
those are very plentiful - i think Honda made more of that than any other model.

yes, it would be bigger than your 185 - but no faster.

My 84 is slower than my 83 (when it was running) from whhhhat I remember.

84 is shaft drive - 83 is chain - you have a small HP loss in power to the wheel with shaft drive. It makes sense a chain drive would be a bit quicker.

3% loss of power in shaft vs chain.

Here's a nice 200X downstate Michigan.....I'd get it if I had the money, rebuilt motor by a real Honda shop.
