Im sure there are a couple out there somewhere, but as many times as Ive heard variations of this story Im beginning to think that there are more brand new trikes in dusty crates in barns than are being ridden today!

allright, I tried contacting them and here it is, the woman said she would ask the "guys in the shop" and here is her reply. Too bad, I would have been making a road trip!
Hi ,
We do not have that in a crate.
But we do have:
YF2450
YF2350
We can sub one of these for the Tri 2.
Ha Ha
Nice Try
Did it work?

Hey i was talking to some guys down at the local motorcycle repair and junk yard near me called Doc's. i was talking about trikes since that is were i got my beast (that is now back to life again) and he was saying there is a place in australia that sells Brandnew ATC's and other Three Wheeler's. He also said that those hard to find parts are made there as well. am guessing there is a honda plant there. anyways he said the have a web site but he couldnt remember it. If this is true then we all can get new trikes but shiping would be expensive.
Hey Jmack,
I HIGHLY doubt that is true but if it is get us some more info. Shipping wouldent be too expensive for me since im in "that neck of the woods".
I think if this was true we would of heard about it by now. The only thing i can think of is www.atcheaven.com, they dont sell new atc's nor trikes but have some good parts for them.

hahahaha....NESCO!!!!! that is like 20 mins from me!!!! they definately dont have any trikes!!!!! although they do have some nice race yfz's they race at the drags....also they have really nice parts/service guys.....i got ripped off on ebay with a *%^&ed up yz250 motor and they were cool about giving me an estimate for ebay to give me my money back and they had no problem with it and printed out a three page long estimate for 800$...they were cool and said it wasnt fair for me to go through all that...lol, a little off topic, but they are also a arctic cat dealer too....and all ive heard about is good things about them...

i think that rumour of new atcs being made here(australia) may be true. a while back, like 5 months ago i bought this magazine called "bike trader" and i was flipping thru it and saw a dealer add for a 2003 atc90. now this was before i even knew they didnt make trikes anymore so i didnt think a thing about it, but if i can remember it looked exactly like a trx90 with only three wheels, new style plastics, new style seat and it really did look brand new.

That would be hell good if they did make new atc's here in Aus. I'd be in the market for the newest, biggest and best Honda Utility trike out there. It'd be bye bye 250es, but until then shes here to stay.
