    Unless your jumping allot, TheES and the SX, both are great for quieter ATV rolling around. 86/87 has the better swinger.....

    I hate to go here but i got to... i love my P3 in the woods.. auto, full suspension, 2stroke, reverse.. ect..
    I know alot of guys wouldnt go w a utility as a woods trike, let alone an auto but dont knock it untill you try it..
    Ive got bigbore T3s, 350x, 200x, 200s and bigbore minis.. ive had bigreds, SXs, DRs, DXs, Rs ect... that little auto P3 would shock ya.

    I am looking in a 125 mile radius for a 350x. IF and thats a big IF, a 250r or TRI-Z comes along for a wicked steal, then i'll pick one up. But after owning 3 trikes, ridding a dozen, im pretty sure a 350x is the only bike that will keep me happy. Cheers and thanks for the input guys.

    PS: Keep a look out for any sweet deals!

    I have to say i am like a lot of other people on this site, I have had a 2nd gen 250r and rod a 3rd gen here and there. I have a 350x now that i have riding a few, a mildly build 200x and a 250sx, and my fav for woods and trialing riding is the 200x. it doesn't take a lot to make that little bike go, mine is board out to a 201cc with a pipe and a carb, and it will keep up with anything in the woods because remember you can only go so fast in the trails.

    i like 200x but im 125lbs. 350x are to big for my liking. 3rd gen 250rs fit me nicer. i like them! around me 350x are insane on prices, 50 miles away either direction they get cheaper. id travel for a bike if i were you. find one with goodies on it in which a buyer doesnt know what he has.

    i have the 350x 250r and bigred...and i have to say my woods/trail ride is the bigred...the big 25 inch tires and suspension really soak up the ruts roots sticks and holes...and its nice in a sticky situation to not have to feather a clutch lever or if it gets to bad and tight i can always back out..the other things i love is i can strap supplys to the racks and honda really put a big nice comfy seat on the big red...so that is my choice and i love it
    my 250r gets annoying in the trails i never take it thrue trails...i have taken the 350x and it isnt bad but without a doubt 250es all the way!!!

    I agree with Mik6 here, I bought my p3, and the first place I took it riding was the Richmond trail system and I must say, I was in absolute love with it there. You can ask any of the guys there that day, I was happy as a pig in on that thing. And I made it up to the lookout, and suprised all of them when they say it rolling down the trail at the top.

    The only thing I dont agree with what Mik6 say is "... that little auto P3 would shock ya." There is nothing little about this machine!!! Come on Mike!!! I am 6'2" 310 and that thing pulls me around very very well.

    It also will try to kill ya if you roll it down a hill. Ask my girlfriend!!

    I was standing at the top of that lookout telling the other guys you wouldn't be up. Then who comes rolling in?

    IMO "Best Woods Bike" the 200ES /250ES Big Reds are perfect for deep woods riding. Espesially around trees and tight areas, the 200ES has the HI-LO Range gearing which is a great option . I had a 200ES with a broken steering stop and I could damn near do a zero turn with that dood and it turned out to be a perfect woods rider. I have a 87 200X and I think it's a great machine for blazing the trails, I love it!
