    Weird 250r card

    I won this on ebay...an 85 R is on the front, it says its an 84.
    On the back it says something about a 110 being the first trike made in 1971, when it was actually a 90 in 1969. 110's wernt made for years later.

    What do you guys make of this? How did they get their info so wrong?....

    I believe those cards are european, probably english. I've seen many english books on motorcycles, especially harleys, that had some rather nefarious info. What do you expect from a country that produced vehicles with a positive ground electrical system.

    If you read the fine print at the bottom, it says "Honda is a trademark of Honda ..." - which leads me to believe that it is not official Honda literature (that and the ATC badmouthing ....lol). Whoever had it made, probably didn't have all the facts, jacks.

    Thats actually a great "collectible" in the sense that it highlights the level of misinformation out there on three wheelers.....Thats a keeper
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    "....with its unpredictable and highly amusing handling (because it had no differential, the ATC could only corner in a series of skids)...."

    That is funny
