    Real rare Honda found.

    I found this when A guy I met recently told me had had a 250R he wouls like to sell. I found it under a tarp in his shop. Apperently it belonged to Daon Garletts. There is a marking that looks as though it was done at the facory that read one of two with the model number.

    The back opens up for storage. The owner knows the history and does not really want to come off it, but I am trying.

    It says TRX 200 on the side. But that is nothing like the TRX 200 I once had.

    For a couple years Honda made this style TRX200. They didn't sell quite as good as Honda had hoped. They are sorta ugly at first, but they grow on ya.
    I have owned one like this one. It was a good runner until some idiot tried to bypass the starter switch.

    There is more to the trike that the trunk. Big Daddy don has a unique machine for all of his straight liners. This one had a unique pulling device to move them around. I will try and get some better photographs the next time I am over there.

    Don Garletts is drag racing legend from Florida. He has is own misium in Ocala. You can also see some neat ATV's up there that he used in the pits.

    You see those alot around here, nicknamed the "trunk moblie". Its the same basic top-end as an 86-87 200X just de-tuned. The potenial is there to make the thing scoot around good and there tough as nails.

    That model is called the TYPE II. We had about 8 of them in an orange grove I worked at in Florida. I am pretty sure that they didn't make them very long as stated before.
