Anyone catch the Curtis Sparks interview in Dirt Wheels, 85 200r?

I hope nobody has posted this before, but did anyone read the interview with Curtis Sparks in Dirt Wheels? I forgot which issue it was and can't scan the article because it was my buddies mag. Anyway they started talking about his early days racing ATC's with Team Honda. At the end of the interview, they asked him what his three favorite ATV's of all time were. His number one favorite was the 1985 200r that was supposed to be released by Honda until the 20/20 tv show came out and Honda killed the idea. So I guess this trike was released to the factory riders but not to the public? I would like to have some more info on this if anyone has any. I know somebody on here bought a 200r and I guess it must have been from a factory rider. What a great piece of ATV history! BTW, his second favorite was a 200x and the third was of course the 250r.

P.S. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the 20/20 show? That thing must have been real bad and I've gotta see it. Thanks

I think the 200r on here was a 250r but had been debored to a 200cc to compete in a certain class. There are a few of those 200r's out there though. My favorite part of the article was when he said they were racing 185s's. It things like that letting you realize how far this sport has come. When they asked him if he could meet any great person from the past who it would be and he said "Mr. Honda". That would be cool. If I could have meet him back then I would have tried to get him to adopt me. lol
