    Best hunting/fishing/muddin ATC?????

    What was the best all around utility type Honda. Got an 86 R but would also like to have one for cruisin backroads in the winter, icefishing, hunting. The R is fun, but would like to have a torque monster for the winter w/ electric start and reverse. Was Big Red the "Cadillac" of three wheelers?

    Yep, but the sx, 225dx and even the prairie 250 deserve mention...... But the 85-87 big red is No 1.

    My vote would go to the 200ES, the 250ES is a very close second.

    The 250ES is more of a Cadillac but the 200ES is a pure workhorse.

    It has to be red.
    It has to have rack all around, 25'' tire, suspension, electric start, reverse, so there is only one to buy....... the Big Red 250 ES 1985 - 1987.
    Realy the best.

    I have both the 250es and the 200e bigreds, let me tell you the extra 50cc, and the rear suspension, make the 250es far superior. I have been riding my 200e lately with about 4 ather 250es, and I get smoked unless were in the tight trails. Plus the rear end is all over the place trying to keep up. Still fun as hell though.
    Just put my rebuilt carb back in the 250, so its caddilac time for me

    85-87 Big Red 250es. I've ridden other utility trikes and nothing comes close to it. Our 85 has gone thru some serious mud and water and nothing could stop it. It's pretty unanimous here!

    For mudding the 250sx by far
    Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    Calling an illegal alien an undocumented immigrant is the same as calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.
