    This has been discussed before on other forums, not sure if it has been here. I even saw one on ebay about a year ago that was in even better shape. Its not that they dont exist, they just never existed in the US. It was an overseas carryover into 85 and i dont think too many were built. They have 85 decals on them but for the most part nothing really different or special about them.

    Rare? Yes here in the US they are extremely rare, but i suspect overseas they are probably a bit more common but just not known to be rare.

    Yeh I would buy it but i just bought an 1987 250es so I dont have the money... This is the first 85 200es I have seen in Australia but I have seen 3 88 250es's so I
    think they are pretty rare in Australia to.

    Yes I agree that even if it was a left over 84 but sold by the mfg as an 85 which the tag clearly says it is then it would be rare but in reality it is simply more of a novelty instead of a highly sought after collector bike. This being said I like novelties however my point is that even though it is technically an 85 it is still most likely a left over 84. Whether it had special 1 year 85 decals only it is still most likely just an 84 with new decals and therefore has little to 0 additional value to a collector anywhere in the world so whats the big deal?

    They did exist. The decals are correct. Please see the brochure in this link. This is from the offroadvintage.com website.

    Look for the 1985 ATC 200ES brochure (there are two different 85 200ES brochures on this page). It is a foreign brochure, and they called it a Super Red in one of the brochures and a Big Red in the other brochure.
