Well, I've been a troll for quite a while... thought it was time to post up and say "Hello".

My current stable includes:
1982 Honda ATC 110
1984 Honda ATC 200ES
1985 Honda ATC 250SX
(and several ATVs that have an extra wheel -- the wife and kids ride those)

The 110 is absolutely amazing. I've had it a couple of years now, and is DEAD reliable! Starts 1st or 2nd pull every time!

Got the BIG RED a couple of months ago. It's a BEAST!

Just picked up the 250SX (this is the trike I've always wanted) -- It's in sad shape cosmetically, but runs well -- needs a lot of work!
Here's a pic of the 110 and 200ES...

And here's the sad sack 250SX I just got...
136295

I love my 3 wheelers!

Welcome to the site.. My first 3 wheeler back in 85 was a new 250sx. I agree they are the Cadillac of atc's to me and hope to pick up another one sometime. I have a 110 also and it starts everytime too..

That 250sx looks like a really good start, your other 2 look really good.

Thanks. I picked up the 250SX and a '86 TRX250 (for the wife) for $500. The SX is mechanically sound, just looks really bad. The TRX 250 is nearly perfect, with practically new Maier plastics.

Biggest (immediate) problem with the SX is the gas tank leaks like a sieve! It was rusted out on the bottom, and someone tried to fiberglass to fix it... it didn't work, not by a long shot.

I zip-tied a tank off an old Chinese 4 wheeler we had to it today and rode it around. It's everything I'd hoped it'd be!! It's not to restore, just to get good enough to ride.
