    You have a lot of reading to do. The 84-5s have almost nothing in common with 86-7s.

    1986 Yamaha Big Wheel 80

    I know that the 84's and 85's are very similar with the most major improvement being a front disk brake on the '85's.

    85 to 86 was a completely different machine. The only two similarities that I'm aware of is that they are both Green and Fast!

    '85 Honda ATC 250R
    '85 Honda ATC 350X
    '99 Honda TRX 400EX

    Everything gets upgraded as you go from '84 to '87. Tons of fun, if you can hold on!

    All 3 of the wheels on the 85 Tecate are the same as the rear 2 on the 86 Tecate..

    1987 being the most rare and hard to find had a keyed ignition and a parking brake.
    Rides:
    1986 ATC250R (sectional pipe and Klemm Research silencer)
    1986 ATC250R (Desert Bike, WAX-ON seat, Dual Cibie lights, Steering Stabilizer)
    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
