These came from Japan!!!! i know a dealer there who had a load of part manuals ....i got 200x(83/85 and 86) 81/84R and 85/86/87R ....these books are great for looking up part numbers when you get a list from a dealer..

Pat i'm going to email you:D

This is a quote from "eh tee see"


I thought i'd bring up one thing that ive had bottled up for a long time but never had the heart to let it out. That brochure is not accurate. How could you trust a brochure which shows the 87 250sx headlight as being red when it was white? (though the one in the brochure is the large type like the 86 and 7 had) And what are those reflectors doing on every surface of the bike? Every 87 big red and 250sx ive seen never had any of those plastered about them. Also, the 350x for both years it ran had looks exactly similar to the 200x. For example: same decals, same color fenders, frames, headlights, swingarms, seat cover printings-everything. The 87 200x had a red swingarm and awesome looking tank decals and there was no decal on the seat, and the 350x in the pictures had a silver swinger and doofy looking decals and the old 86 graphics on the seat. I don't beleive that is what honda would choose to do for its father and son bikes. Sorry to dissapoint, but that ad simply can not be trusted. Furthermore, here is what I beleive the 87 350x actually looked like.

I would have to say that even though there is a manual, it doesnt necessarily mean there are any 87 350x's.

When I worked at Honda dealerships in the 90's, we'd get the manuals a good six months or more before the actual vehicles showed up. Granted, the cars always did get produced and shipped. Many times the manuals were dead wrong on component locations, wire colors, etc. They were printed before final production of the vehicle. So, although there may have very well been some 87 350xs made, I wouldn't say the logic holds true that "because there is a manual, there must be a trike".

Still extremely cool to even get that much of the "urban legend" in hand. Great find. Get more scans.

Don't forget the tantalizing 87 ATC 250R style seat that sold on ebay a while back. I believe Jez has it.
