Was the ATC350X a "mid-year" model?

... I ask only because on page 105 of the March DW issue, there is an old Honda ad (I have it on here from the brochure site) on the bottom featuring the 1985 line up (printed sometime late in 1984 I guess). Anyway, if you look at all of the models on the page and read the bottom texts "new models" for '85 wording, you will see no 350X and no mention of one. They talk about the two quads and the new 250SX, but no 350X. Wierd?. You would think that if they were to leave out a model for the donkey, it would be the 110 or 70.....

Yeah I remember that ad. It was a cool one. I think the 350x was a mid year.

It came out later than the rest of the 1985 models, you know how next years models are announced in Aug/Sep. I have a Hondaline accesory brochure for 1985 and it does not have any 350x parts listed in it.

[Dammit!]

It was mid-year. All the 85's were out a few months before a 350x ever hit the dealerships in my town anyway.

Here is a scan of the original ad. dial up users will hate me here.

There are 2 85 350xs on the trike registry roles built in Dec. of 84 I can attest to this as I have seen both personally, and I own 1 of them.
How about the rest of you guys submitting info?
