rare honda atc

[Bigtyny]

what are some of the rarer honda atc's I am going to be looking for another project soon ? what is the best br year and model?

[350Xccelerator]

Of the ATCs id say anyfrom 87 or the blue 70 and 110

[Shorty]

The Older US 90's and first gen atc 70's are rare. Any ATC really from 87 is rare. the 86 200s and 86 125m's are really rare. The early 1980 185's are kinda uncommon. And last but not least are the blue christmas special atc 70's and 110's are what I'd say extreamly rare. But not as rare as some american made trikes are.

[Honda250sxowner]

wow to see you say that the 86 125m's are really rare makes me happy....my buddy has 2 of them that are in mint condition...except the one needs a new carb...the other runs great...he wanted to sell me them both for 90 bucks. I have to see if he still has them now..thanks!

[portland250r]

87 200x's dont count i see them all the time!!!!!!!!!
finding an 87 200x is like finding a penny on the sidewalk for me.

I know, even though there was only like 3500 made in US.

[jeopardy98]

There is an unbelievable amount of poop floating around this thread...

[RDH/86200X]

87 250 r that hands down is the best looking stock 250r i have ever seen

[Motorious]

Here's one for sale in my area. Wish I had 2 G laying around...http://reno.craigslist.org/mcy/1949408001.html

No such creature as a blue Christmas 110. The idiots speak again.

[portland250r]

thats an 86.
the lister either dont know what hes got or accidently put 87.

[RIDE-RED 250r]

HARYYREDTRIKE: are there any key differences on the 87 250r besides the white plastic that makes them unique from the 86? just curious.....looks like from the pic description, the keyed ignition is about it. id like to have that so i dont have to make sure and sit by a window when i stop at a restaraunt

as to the question, as far as in my area, i think about any 87 trikes are the rarest, i have never laid eyes on one in my life. but thats just my personal experience

[vector292]

Around here 250r's,350x's they go for like 3000+ and 200x's go for 1500-2000 are probaly the hardest to find.Ive never got see a 250 or 350 in person.

[atc350xer]

the keyed ignition is about it. id like to have that

lol... so would everyone else... if it existed!

[Xpress]

What about the US 90's in green, yellow, blue, and the indy orange?

How about a plain old 100% stock running red 90? :lol:

[honda200x1987]

Hands down the best looking 250R, I am suprised no one has built a replica of this model, it could be done using maier plastics and the 1987 200X key switch/pad and Harlan Lysne reproduction decals. This might be a project that I would be interested .
go find an 87 250 r

[Bigtyny]

so what is the best big red

also seat decal and the R decals where updated and had red fork boots instead of blue

[haggard 2hundie]

there has been a blue christmas special on craigs list in my area for quite awhile now not the 110 though....

I cant get myself to like the color placement on the 87 250r. I will be starting a 86 250r roller this winter and Want to do it like the 86 200 x. White fenders, white tank, Red scoops and headlight, Blue boots and blue seat. I see 87 200x in WI quite offen forsale but there $$$$ or beat and still $1000

[whittim]

Likewise i have never seen a 350X anywheres here in NB

[KASEY]

you guys just don't look hard enough... here is a nice 87 250r....

http://i28.tinypic.com/34t96xy.jpg

[RodKnockRacing]

that is nice if it had the keyed ignition and the updated seat decal it would be a great remake great lookin trike non the less

[Shorty]

No such creature as a blue Christmas 110. The idiots speak again.


Sigh* I KNOW they didn't make a christmas 110. I just call it that because they were made the same year. And both of the blue model trikes were made ONE year.

[dcreel]

Blue 110's were made TWO years.

[fabiodriven]

Wow Shorty, you really know your stuff.

[cavemanbob21]

Cheers to whoever built that 87 look alike im impressed thats beautiful

[ShaneNP123]

I know of one 350X in NB. Also another with a kz650 engine crammed in it.

[swampthang]

So your looking for a rare honda atc and the best model big red? Why not find a 87 250es big red.

[audioworks04]

anyone know where to get that chain roller that is on that 87 clone?

[Bigtyny]

350x are not rare in arkansas I see them alot there is a nice one at the honda shop in russellville and some other atc's and a nice cart but I forgot the name

[petesatc]

all depends on where you are.......the 88 big red was the rarest atc ever made only 876 made but you guys didn't get them europe,oz and Japan only places to get them.....the 86/87 125m are very common over here, as we got all the states bikes after the ban......as for the 87R who knows, i still think someone out there has one just got to find it......i have parts book manuals for the 87R and the 87 350x so they got that far as making books and fiches????
the rare bikes production wise are the 86 200S the 87 200X and the 88ES......

[portland250r]

im happy where im at i see 5 different 250r's for sale everyday and 350x's are for sale all the time.

[haggard 2hundie]

i see alot of 250R's here but all real expensive today i seen a basket case 85 the guy wanted 2000! seen an 83 for 1400 and even an 86 350X for 3000! waaay too much for all of them if ya ask me.

[honda200x1987]

I also think there may have been a few 87 ATC250R's produced, below are some pictures from the old 3WW showing what very well could be the seat from the 87 250R and here is the forum----> http://www.3wheelerworld.com/oldsite/87ATCs.shtml

[honda200x1987]

While we are on the subject does anyone know if the 1987 ATC250R//350X would have had the exact oem dash pad/key switch as the 1987 200X? From the picture they look the same, It would be good to know if I were to do a replica.

[petesatc]

i found quite a few parts for the 87R over the years..

[Bigtyny]

why is there so many oem parts for 87 atc you can get frame's too

[Casey Davis]

If you want a challenge ditch the thought of rebuilding a Honda ATC and find/restore a TIGER.

The restored ROTAX on the page above makes me piss my pants and forget who I am for a half hour.

[code200k]

you can? where is this?

[Bigtyny]

hondapartshouse.com/ has frame's but I would not pay what they ask the tiger looks cool but I think I will build a 87 something but now I know what to look for

[fabiodriven]

hondapartshouse.com/ has frame's but I would not pay what they ask

Just because they list the frame it doesn't mean its available. Nice grammar.

[Casey Davis]

hondapartshouse.com/ has frame's but I would not pay what they ask the tiger looks cool but I think I will build a 87 something but now I know what to look for

You called to check availability and they told you they had frames in stock?

[Casey Davis]

Bigtyny: You might research with someone like servicehonda.com or the big name restorers on this site to get a feel for what parts are obtainable before choosing your next project.
They go so much smoother when you are not playing the waiting game checking foreign markets online searching for those special NOS parts...

[Bigtyny]

no but it don't say unavailable on there which means it is there but who is going to pay $1,600.13 for a 87 big red frame or $1,238.24 for a 87 200x I was just saying there more parts for them then older models thats the same list for honda dealer ship thats not foreign that in michigan

[Casey Davis]

Lord help me.

[fabiodriven]

I'm going to tell you again, just because the parts are listed on the site it does not mean they are available. Almost all of the parts you are looking at are not available. If you order them, the company will tell you that.

[tri-Z ripper]

i would say the oakley edition 110 thats on the cover of the clymer is rather rare and i would love to find one. heres a thread! http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthread.php?103028-81-honda-ATC-OAKLEY&p=819446
this one is a 250R

[dcreel]

I'm going to go so far as to say there is no such thing as an Oakley edition 110, or 250R Honda. There.. I said it.. again..

[thestud25]

Ok, to clear up all questions on the Frame availability. I called, they said they had none, and are not able to get them.

Bigtyny:
Find a model you like, drop the dough, clean it up, beat it up, or do whatever you want. Not to take a dig at you or your skills, but it does not seem you have the know how to build one from the ground up. You will save tons of money, time, and headaches by buying a "Ready to Run" three wheeler. Then after you learn the ins and outs, start piecing a rarer one together.

[Bigtyny]

nope have no experience with building motorcycles but it is fun and I would like to try to fix one from the frame it gives me something to do

[thestud25]

Well all I can say it get a manual and every other source you can when you do. Good luck.

[Bigtyny]

thanks well right now I am trying to find a local atc for my sis so next bike will not be a rare or total build

[trikes4life]

A guy in Gainsborough, Sask has an 87 250r. Saw it when I bought an 83 200 from him.

Please tell me you got pictures.

X owner X owner X owner

[briano]

Oh boy, not this again

[rg97]

There have always been stories about "My neighbor has an 87 R" and it turns out to not exist or its an 86. We ask for pics and mysteriously they got lost when the poster moved, or the dog ate them. John has the right idea... X owner
This happens about every 6 months. I have my heart set that the only 87 R I will ever see is a picture in a honda brochure

[slashfan7964]

I've seen plenty of replica's on the internet :lol:

If I ever get a 3rd gen R, definitely doing the 87 color scheme. LOVE IT.

That's one heckuva way to revive a 4 year-old thread, kormos.

You need to start carrying a camera, because you are the only one of 28,000 registered 3WW members who has ever seen one.

Not exactly accurate. :)


About the '87 ATC250R.... When the bottom fell out of the 3-wheeler market, and Honda had a boatload of them... they were forced to export them to Europe. However, we got our hands on a '87 R up in Canada, which was not part of the CPSC deal. That's how we got a chance to ride one. Photos of prototype ATCs? Sorry no. Part of my deal with many of the test riders was that I was able to look, touch and ride, but no words or photos in the magazine. The ATC450R was a monster, flat scarey to ride. Way too fast for the general public. The ATC200R was really too pipey for me, and a little too small for my 6-1 size.

Here's a little known fact. Pipe builder, Daryl Bassani owns one of the first ATC250Rs ever made. It was used by Team Honda ATC on the original Parker 400 race, and some in Mexicali 250 race, before it broke a rear axle. Daryl got the bike from Wes McCoy in exchange for the favors he did for Team Honda. That ATC has a chassis number like 00007, or lower!

That's all for now. I'll chim in from time to time, with other odds and ends as I recall them. We had a great time doing that magazine, some of the best trips to Mexico you can imagine! Cheers! Dean Kirsten

How rare was the 1986 Honda ATC 200s?
