**cox** · 11-10-2009, 04:51 PM

ive never seen a 87 here in canada at all.

Nice thread digging BTW.....

**factoryX** · 11-10-2009, 05:37 PM

actually somebody called honda up, and they assured that there were 500 or so 87 350x's/250r's released in the united states and or Canada? Idk if I can find the thread though.

1 of the guys that came to my house to trade me a xr200 for a 200x said he had a 1987 200x. i told him about this site, not sure if anyone has seem him yet. he would of been from PA

**factoryX** · 11-10-2009, 05:46 PM

there are 86/87 200x/250sx/250es. There is also a 88 250es.

The 1987 250R will show up eventually from Canada. There were at least a dozen or so sold to lucky Canucks.

I've spent some time on the phone with a few old school dealers - who have no reason to lie - and I'm pretty confident the 87R's are scattered around some small rural communities.

Fact is - the most elusive, fabled trike of them all - the 1987 250R is probably behind some 50 year old's house, near the saltwater, rusting away.

Regardless - one of these 87 model year R's will eventually be made public.

Almost forgot - I'm not sure if this is 'allowed' or if it's 'frowned' upon with the new rules of 3ww - if so, mods feel free to delete and sorry in advance - but uh, I did an interview with Dean Kirsten a while back and he didn't beat around the bush on this issue - He assured me, with confidence, that the 87R were sold in small numbers in Canada.

Dean Kirsten interview (warning - will take you to af.com website)

It was after his confident vouch for the existence of these 87's that I decided to start contacting older ATV shop owners from the mid 80's to see what I could dig up.

I'm now confident there's a few out 'in the wild' with maybe a couple more not unlike the 'crated' 86 that just turned up.

We'll see what happens in time.

said one will turn up one day......most of the parts have been found just no bike frame with the 87R number but only a matter of time....

**Jim mac** · 11-10-2009, 10:50 PM

**Pafrig** · 11-11-2009, 02:11 AM

**atc500x** · 11-11-2009, 09:40 AM

**Dirtcrasher** · 11-11-2009, 02:54 PM

ONE person claimed as little as 2 weeks ago he found one, a 87 350X, claimed it had a key - blah blah blah.....

I call BS, at this point we'd do ANYTHING for proof, it would be the holy grail so nor I or anyone else were ready to hear any excuses.................

I like the kid so IDW to starts a war, it just made very little sense to me to be in front of one and walk away.

These threads crack me up. I love watching all you huge Honda fans gettting your shorts all narled up over this subject. I think I know where alot of them are. Done some investgation my self. I have talked with nemerious dealers and people who witnessed it. The claim is that they are buried under the car port. Along with alot of old cars that they could not sell. And unless you have a pocket bbook to buy a parking lot the size of a US state im not sure your gonna have an option to dig them up. My dad knows a guy who has a big red that he set aside when this went on.

Also why is there no talk of the 1988 Tecate 3 and the 1987 Yamaha Tri Z?
