No love for 200?!?

[IrvSLedman]

I'v just noticed that I am one of the few people on here, that own a 83' 200.. why is that. or do more of you own them, but dont like to make it public.is it just the black sheep of the atc family?!?! am i loser?! lol.. but seriosly why is that. are they unpopular for some reason? :wondering

[ATCnut]

I assume you have a honda 200, the unsuspended model with 25" tires. I think it is just that people tend to move up to the suspended sport trikes (200x, 350X, 250R), or to the later suspended utitlity models (250sx, 250es).

My first trike was a 82 185s, which I rode the crap out of in the 80s (when I was young). I do not think my body could take that kind of abuse now, so I compensate with suspension. I finally sold it because it just did not get used when I have several other suspended models.

Because I use them around the property, I probably spend more time in the saddle of my utility trikes than I do my 350X, they are all fun.

Ryan why do you have to be so gay?? The 200 series was popular and still is to us poor redneck folk in western NY. I have one, you have the 200 and the S, swage (Somekindofjerk) has a 185. Someday we will be able to afford something with suspension.

There's nothing wrong with the non-suspended trikes, they are very classic and vintage looking. Good for collections! And those 200's are great in the mud! :D

[IrvSLedman]

I have an 83 200. My favorite 3wheeler. Best trail ATC I've ridden. Has front susp which helps, but I don't mind the lack of rear susp. I just keep the tires between 3 and 5 psi.

[225dx]

I've also got a 1983 atc200. This was the only atc 200 with front suspension. the 81's and 82's did not have it.

[trikes4life]

i JUst got my first one two weeks ago. Going to be my next project. NIce running condition for 50 bucks.

[Kintore]

Im here supporting the ole 83 200. Nice little thing, great for mud, wheelies and winter riding. Or just even taking a little bomb around on.

[bigredhead]

I've had 2 of them... great bikes..

reason for not alot of talk about them..

THEY ARE TOUGH AS NAILS AND ALMOST NEVER BREAK DOWN !! lol.....

really tho.. be proud of your ride.

There are tonnes of the 200's out there.. look harder.

Speaking of Somekindofjerk...............HE IS A JERK :mad:

He wanted to buy A 185 I had and I had tons of patience with waiting for the money or rather the deposit. Week after week went by with an excuse here, an excuse there as to why he didn't send it yet.

"the mail at my place doesnt ship till this thursday here. something about a holiday for the mail company... anyways i will send 160dollars tomarow(thursday)" ..........

allso i would pay you the other 600 upon arrival of my house................. like i said in my other email i will send the money this sunday or monday...............

like i said though the 100 dollars i could mail to you if you give me your address(phone would be good to, just to chat aye?) then it would take like 3-7 days to get to you. then you could call me or whatever to see when you could deliver it.

On and on and on an I even agreed to deliver the thing with only charging for gas one way :mad:


Finally he just never got back to me anymore SO BEWARE, WATCH OUT and don't do him any favors!

So because of him he has now wrecked it for all the other yonger ones on these forumns because now I must have a deposit with in a few days because I have a fear of being jerked around like he did to me :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Russell 350X]

I hate when people pull that kind of BS with me. Taking up my precious time like that. Make sure you kick him reaaaaaalllllll hard.

[Huffa]

Here sits his 700 dollar 185. He emailed me saying HE was confused! :lol:

I'm givimg him one more chance and willing to forgive as I was a "Somekindofjerk" too at one time! :lol:

If he doesn't want it, then ebay it goes unless someone else is interested.

[Pistonhead]

I got an 82 and an 83, theyre good for when you are young like myself and dont mind the thrashing of a bumpy field in 5th gear. I am a headbanging kind of guy so it works for me!

[slow200s]

i love my 200s but its so rough keeping up in the bumps.

Im thinking about building a auto200x (cross between a 200s and a 200x) just to have the suspension because i love the 200 engine, but who knows why not build a 200x when im puting in all the time, right?

[Rasuel]

A buddy of mine has an '82 200, seems like an alright machine, I havent ridden it yet though, any of you guys feel like the 200 gives up in the top end of 4th and 5th? He's been complaining that it's just wont rev up as high in the top gears.

lol thats funny what did he do ?:confused:

[trikes=fun]

By the way i love my 200s its nice in all when you got full suspension..........................

[trikes=fun]

Off the topic question does rear suspension give you more traction since the tires dont seem to spin as much

[trikes=fun]

on the stock 200s its like headbanging practice now all you need is some heavy metal playin while you ride dud dud du ahhhhh!!!! ahhhhh!!! ah ah ahh scream!!!:Bounce :cool: :Bounce :Bounce :Bounce :Bounce :Bounce :Bounce ah and a 200s mosh pit ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

[Lil Mike]

i have one but its not quite a ATC any more haha i used it in my golf cart and its grate but i was actly wondering if it had a low raing gear for more trque??? thanx

[Rasuel]

trikes=fun, the rear suspension does give slightly better traction, keeping the wheels on the ground more, but the big difference is when going over mogles the back end dosent get catapulted up as much.
