Had a great opportunity come my way and was able to get a beautiful all original 86 200X. I am the third owner and this bike has seen VERY little use. EVERYTHING on this bike is original from the dealer in 86 except the chain, gas in the tank, and air in the tires!!! The plastic has NO cracks, the origional OHATSU H- Tracks are in great shape with no dry rot or cracking (going to get new rims and tires for riding and save these.... cant bring myself to ride on them). Has the tool kit, manual, tire gauge, all the stickers, little rubber pad for the kickstart and rear shock...rubber peices on carrier, NO rust in tank..none nada zip!!! Header pipe isnt even rusted!!!! all the stuff thats usually missing is here. Got it from a collector and this was one of the "worst" ones in the collection. Great guy to deal with. I havent had a chance to clean it up yet... its as is ...only lightly washed to get literal barn dust off since 1992. This one will be going to my grave with me and my 89 Pilot!!!! Just wanted to post some pics to show they are still out there.... $1500.

Just purchased an 86 200x myself. Wish I could have found one like this. Nice find!

I never said I wasnt going to ride it, Thats the whole reason I bought it was to ride it, I'm just going to swap out the origional tires and rims as not to ruin them.... they are nice OEM's. The bike rides like a dream and will get more use from me than it has in the last 30 years!!! I dont know as though I will ride the "piss" out of it.... but I WILL enjoy it!

The knats still winning.. This is a museum piece that should be preserved, the other thousands of riders out there should be ridden..

Dude.

For the love of god you should only display that bike. Came all this way through space and time and now you're going to destroy all of that.

Absolutely should not ride it.

Life goes on. It's just a three wheeler. In 100 years they'll all be gone, and so will we. Enjoy them while you can.

So funny seeing the range of opinions on here from "its junk" and put a BS yamaha motor in it all the way to put in a museum. It is a really clean complete origional...museum quality...no... but the nicest one I will ever have for my wallet for sure.
Glad I found it, Glad its in my garage, I will ride it and have fun with it...I am almost 40, I dont do mudding or jumps or any of that... I have 2 small kids who ride a TRX 90. a TRX 70 and they share an ATC70. Just going to be a nice trail / field cruiser. I had other bike I kept as show queens and sold off and regreted not riding and enjoying them... All I did was keep them nice for someone else to enjoy.... Life is short, enjoy each day!

Here is a pic of my Pilot since someone asked and my son on the 70 I restored for him and my daughter...

can`t wait for $40 cheeseburgers !

They sell them in D.C. They taste a lot like $10 burgers, but the fries aren't included.

Nice, if you are pulling the tires/rims to store; may as well pull the OEM plastic and get some maueirs. Even on put-put rides things can happen to crack the nice plastic and that would be a sad day. I am restoring a first gen 200x right now and was unsure if it was going to sit in the garage for the rest of its life or if I would sell it. There was a great point about just keeping it nice for someone else to have fun on, now I am thinking of riding to hell out of it.

Wow that is a nice 85!!! May consider pulling the plastics as well... but who knows... I brought it out today for a short ride, it was funny to my how the origional baloon type tires feel so squishy and there is lots of side to side bouncyness!!! I am used to a harder flater low profile tire...LOL Rides like a damn Cadillac though!!
