heres my 83200 still waiting for powder on the racks, and I just got new oem tires for it. My cousin has the cleanest 200es I've ever seen, I will try to get some pics next time I see it.

wow scottzj, that is some nice work!!!! My only question would be why didn`t you put the same tires on the back as the one on the front? If memory serves me right your front tire is off the rear of a honda fourtrax 300 2wd....Goodyear I think?? Did you paint or power coat the various metal pieces??

I did the painting myself and just spray bombed it with clear coat. The tires I put on the rear because I got a killer deal on them and decided to use those. THe front was similar to stock and I like that design like the 250es. I wasnt really going for the full restore look, I just wanted to save it from the scrap yard.

My 85 200m looks worse than ScottZJ's before picture, except for the dent in the tank. Look at the pic in my Avatar

This is my Big Red 200ES 1984 . Sorry, it the only pic i got and we don't see it good. I bought it 3 years ago from the original owner, a 82 years old men. It still have the three OEM tires on it. He was using it as a back up vehicule in his pick-up truck on his fishing trip.
He was sick and his childrens forced him to sold it because he was to old to go in the forest along.
When i loaded it in my truck, he was crying.

atcquebec, I can certainly see why he was crying!! beautiful machines everyone. I personally think the big red 200es is the most under apreciated trike honda made!! sure it has it`s down points but it has its goodpoints as well, and I think they look the best...just my 2 cents....keep the pics comming!!

I dont think it hit reserve, but the bidding was well over 2Gs.
My BR is an 83, not 84.

Last one of those I seen was when I was tire testing for Honda on a dry lake bed in Cal. My team manager had just picked it up from a farmer they give new one's to each year for letting Honda use his farm for testing. We where all standing around waiting for the tire guys to get there for testing so my team manager said to take his truck with the Big Red in back and give it the 60MPH test. He told me to get in back of the truck and when we got up to 60mph kick it out of the back of the truck.:naughty: When that
thing hit the ground at 60 it bounced about 20 foot straight up!:lol: :w00t:

They just crush these thing anyway,we just got a head start on it:D

Here are my ‘84s. Pretty dirty in the photo, but they clean up nicely. I took a co-worker out riding on them and he promptly rear ended me and bent the front rack up.

Here's mine. Probably doesn't belong in the "Mint" post, but maybe one day it will be!
