    Well back in 1984, I went on the showroom and picked up a new 84 200x. I was in heaven on that sucker til in I saw the new look that the 87's were gonna have. So something happened to my 84 (hehe) and I had to go buy the 87. I was at the dealer as they delivered the 87 models in Aug of 86. They brought the crate down and I said I will take that one. The dealer said, you dont want to see it first.........I said nope, already seen pics so put it together for me! hehe Man those were the days.
    86-87 Tecate ROCK!

    Ride fast...........brake late............and Slide the rear!

    When I was 13 my parents got my brother and I brand new 1985 200Ss for Christmas. I rode it nearly every day for 5 years and then took off for college. Ten years later I pulled it out, put on new rubber and cables, and had a friend tear the motor down. It started on the first pull, and I rode it for another 5 years. I primarily ride my Big Red now only because of the rear suspension, but the "S" is still in the garage. Here is what it looks like now.

    I had an 84' 200S that I bought new and a month later, saw the brochure for the new 85' 250R and ordered it right then. I gave the sales guy the whole 8 bucks that I had in my pocket to hold it until I could come back with more cash. I wish I still had them both.

    I got a brand new 1978 ATC90 for Christmas when I was 10. Modified it over the years with a 108cc kit, Big Al's cam, PK header, and Goodyear tires. I had the 90 until 1985 when I got a brand new 200X (85) at 16. Modified it many times over the years and still have it but it is basically my wifes now as I have an 86 Tecate bought 2nd hand in 1989.
