I have wrote a letter to Honda Motor Co.. I have asked to reproduce the 1985-86 ATC350X ,ATC250R &1987 ATC200X fenders and what we can do to convince them to do so. I have also asked to bring back the 80's retro look such as the legendary 1986 TRX250R and 1987 ATC200X and make a new 4 wheel sport model ATV. I have wrote a full page report and I am mailing it off in the morning,,who's with me?? here is the mailing address: http://powersports.honda.com/contact.aspx

Good idea, i will do that since I have also asked if there are any future plans to reproduce the ATC again. I will print out your report and mail it in with my letter. That was a superb report..Originally Posted by 3wheelmecca

not really, the Big Red is rolling off like crazy by what I've seen. I wish honda did not recycle their names. An Odyssey is NOT a minivan! And a Big Red is a three wheeler, not a SxS.

The economy is not as bad as you might think, I beleive it is making a comback. It would not hurt to try, everyone needs to stand together if we are ever going to see any of this happen.

The day begins with 3WW
i think asking to repoduce some oem plastics would be a nice thing. it may never happen but might get light shed on the subject if you start like a petition style signature request sheet. i'd glay sign my name asking for oem plastics at least.
Would rather be at the front of the train than

honda is a business and they have to know there is a huge demand to bring the trikes back , it just doesnt make sence not too , especially right now while " retro " is all the rage . the eighties are back everywhere, from hair to music to clothing trends , all we need now is the trikes we all should send some kind of e petition ill ride wit ya !

well the difference is between fans and buyers. who do you think honda would cater to.
i would be a huge fan of reproducing the ATC. but i would not be a buyer of one. its just not in a financial position for that.
granted retro looks are quite the popular thing for cars.
the economy is sorta turning its self around for certain areas. around where i live we are mainly a service industry oriented (food/hospitailty, repair, service) but are lacking production. this is causing our money to just keep changing hands back and forth and very little is coming in for gain. so basically we are only maintaining our financial responsibilities. everything is cut throat around here as well, contractors are taking jobs at minimal profit just to keep employees busy, or to pay bills
i am by no means trying to rain on anyone's parade. i just dont think they would go for it.

Like i said if you ever want to see any of this happen, just write a letter, it only takes a few minutes of your time and a postage stamp. Beleive it or not with enough letters Honda could come up with something.

I agree, it can't hurt to try...but honda is a huge corporation and the bottom line, no matter how much a company says "we listen to our customers" is profit...no profit=no build.
Don't worry...just run watcha brung...

do they even have the molds for repro fenders? these things are 25 years old,and older. who is to say they kept them around?
I dont think there is enough of a market for another atc,they have been down that road,they dont want to deal with the lawsuits and headaches associated with the three wheeler name

Ok, once again, I did not only ask to reproduce the ATC and plastics,, I also asked to bring back that 80's look of the 1986 TRX250R ,etc on a new sport ATV lineup, write them on that subject if you want. If Honda would take just one of these ideas I would be happy. You must have a positive outlook on this. This is 3WW, we are all here because we love our trikes, so atleast put your 2 cents in to Honda please.
