NEW in crate '86 ATC 250R

[edog]

Time for assembly!!!!!!



What are your plans for it?

I'd leave it in the crate. Once it's out it no longer is a crated R and it's just not the same. Something about the crate that ads value to me.

All I can say is WHOA!

I work at a Honda dealership and my main job is to set up new units. I am so friggin glad the newer quads come more complete than that. Throw the skid plate, front guard, axle guards and seat on it and it's done. I can usually do 10 of em a day, running ready to go. But that looks like a 2 maybe 3 trikes might get put together a day.

Ok, this has been posted on a couple other sites. After a search here I didn't see it. So I hope it's not a duplicate thread. Just way to cool not to share. I PM'd the member who claims to know the owner. Maybe he or she is on here and is just keeping this hidden for a few more years. Like a fine wine getting sweeter with time! What do you think she'd bring on eBay, even in the current market? ENJOY!

That is simply amazing!! wow! I have never seen a ATC in the crate before. I would bet there are more Honda ATCS still in the crate out there somewhere. That is way kewl!

[honda200x1987]

Wonder how many more of these trikes are still in the crate out there?

If you can find smaller dealerships in small towns you can find them! I grew up in a town of 35oo peoplein centeral nevada and we had a honda yamaha dealer and I know the owner has at least 15-20 different 3wheelers from the late 80's because you could not give them away in 86, 87, and 88 to many lawsuits!! So I guarantee there are plenty of bikes out there not put together, because they could not and would not sell them back in 87 88. Alot of the little dealers were afraid to sell them in fear of back lash!

Id take the cardboard off and put it on the wall or something. Then i'd put thick plexiglass around the metal frame and use it as a bar in my basement.

Is it possible there were 2 survivors? Here is someone claiming to have bought one....

That's the same one. If you look at the box, the stain on the top is the same.

hi guys, I am new to the forums, I just bought an 85R in nice shape from the original owner, with the certificate of origin, his title from 89, owners manual, and honda dealer binder with the 85-86 service manual, tech updates, and also the assembly instructions for the 85-86 model with pictures from the crate, I left it at my dads but can post the pages when I get a chance, I also know where there is a brand new 86R and a 86 tri-z still in the crates, along with some other honda and yamaha rarities, the guy used to own a yamaha/honda dealership and kept a few things when the 3 wheeler ban happened, I would love to get a hold of them, great find Andy, see ya, Ron
