    Bought a new trike tonight! See pics...

    Look at the poor fella I bought tonight. Can't wait to pressure wash that ugly paint off and then get to sanding/buffing.

    This bike will be more of an "investment" than anything else. Plans are to resell it if I don't grow too fond too quickly.

    If the pictures don't work for anyone, just keep staring- it's hidden under the camo paint.

    I would not call it a poor fella. Because the last owner clearly took time into keeping it in nice shape and Cama paint is not bad when hunting though you can tell who ever did the camo painting he used to much space in the light color and the pattern is all wrong. (the spots are to big and some colors are needed less then others ) The idea is to break up the image. he did do a nice job on the seat and over all the bike is in a lot better shape then some of the one's iv seen in bc here mainly the one's on the sunshine coast.

    Actually it looks like an 1983 ATC 200.

    Its not a 200s and its not a 200M. The 200M was first released in 1984 and was very similar to the ATC 200 of '83, except that it had an electric starter. If I am not mistaken this trike you got does not have an electric start, right?

    The 200s was first released in 1984 and replaced the 185s. This trike should have larger tires (at least it did from the factory). Originally it would have 25 inch tires like the Big Red. The 200s had 22's.

    The '82 ATC 200 did not have front suspension. This must be an '83 ATC 200.

    Good find!

    Nice Trike and it looks to be in good shape. I would be surprised if the paint under that thing looks real good.

    Hell yeah study, leave it like it is and use it for your beater. That would be a perfect candidate for any mudhole, fishing trip, hunting, etc...

    Yes, it was the ebay trike.

    Those wheels almost look aluminum, but I'm sure they're not. Are they?

    I'd really like my brother to buy it from me. He lives about 1.5 hrs away and I want him to get it as a hunting bike.

    Guess we'll see if the pictures do it justice when I go look at it.
