    At least Honda is starting to get the retro color scheme back. Check out the red white and blue. http://powersports.honda.com/2014/trx450r/colors.aspx There isn't really any sport atv's being built today that interest me. I'm sick of all they cookie cutter 450 4stroke's. Boring. Been to a mx race lately? Does the sound of rev limiters and back firing drive you guys nuts? Not to mention the poor guy that dropped his bike in the corner and has to quit the race because he can't get the thing to restart. I miss 2strokes...

    Same here. I was actually thinking of finding a 125 2-stroke dirt bike engine to stuff into the restoration
    of my LT250s. I think I could fit the engine and the radiators in the frame. I'm just trying to figure out how
    to get the pipe in there without destroying my plastics.

    I wonder what would happen if someone shoved a 2 smoker 1000cc snowmobile motor in a dirtbike frame and converted it into a trike...

    No, it wouldn't, but it would be badass as hell lol.

    I could build it for drag racing as well. Local tracks allow ATV's to race on the strip

    hrmm drop that 1000cc into a quad and race the "open" class.

    I wonder what it would be like to convert my 2011 YFZ450R quad into a trike. it's already fast as stock. so if i turned it into a trike, wonder how it would do then.

    I saw a late 90s Polaris scrambler once with a 750 2 stroke snowmobile motor. He showed me around it and showed me what it could do. 80 mph with the front wheels off the ground I swore it was about to take off.

    I'd never ride it.

    The rides:
    1981 ATC110
    1982 ATC185
    1983 ATC185s
    1984 ATC200es
    1985 ATC200x

    When the going gets tough, the tough get sideways

    It'd be awesome if they did but then again.. I could care less. When I see a quad on the side of the road I think to myself.. wow thats nice and then forget about it.. when I see a 3 wheeler I stare.. the entire time lol.. Basically I love the fact that there rare..
    Ramdom people stare too, there's a "nice factor" a four wheelers will never have and that a trike has. This past summer I was trail riding with my 200x and a bunch of people on sport quads. We passed by a young family on foot . They were pointing me on my 200x, smiling and not even giving a f*** of the raptor ahead , the predator and the outlaw behind. The only thing they spotted is me on my 200x slowing passing by and hanging my hand! I don't believe quad will even have that wow factor a trike has.
