30 Years of FourTrax

[JTW]

I started on a big red and 250 three wheeler. Had a lot of fun on them and they're still going strong!

We grew up on Hondas. That's all we knew!!!
Dad had:
1980~ ATC110
1985 ATC125M (I put at least a million miles on this bike as a kid!! Three engine overhauls!!)
1987~ TRX350 Forman 4X4
2001 TRX250 Recon

My closest neighbor had (when I had nothing):
1984 ATC200X (learned how to ride manual clutch on this bike)
1985 Yamaha 225DX
1985 ATC125M

Since I graduated from college I've owned:
1985~ ATC185S (cheap bike that ran)
1996 TRX300EX (first new bike and with working brakes!)
1999 TRX400EX
2004 TRX250EX
2003 Yamaha Raptor 80 (for daughters to start riding)
2005 Buell XB9SX
2004 YZF250F (only dirtbike ever)
2009 Buell XB12ST
2010 RZR 800
2008 RZR 800
2008 TRX400EX
1998 TRX300 4x4 (bought for my daughter but ended up just resale)
2016 ACE 900 SP(new for my daughters on clearance at Abernathy)
(then another ACE 900 SP so they wouldn't have to share)
2016 RZR S1000 (new, caught fire)
2019 Honda Talon X (new)

I was too young at the time to ever ride or own the legendary TRX250R. I had family members that worked at local Honda, and raced, so my cousins and I just grew up knowing Honda. Lot of memories on these machines!!!

I'd wear out the pages of Dirtwheels magazine every month!!

Met my wife riding her 300EX, while on my 300EX. Been hitched ever since. I always wanted to go ride trails in new places and one day Dirtwheels had an article on Wolfpen Gap in Mena, AR. Showed it to my father-in-law and decided we'd go check it out in 1998. That was the beginning of our travels to riding destinations. Wish we could go more but work gets in the way!!

I had a 1990 tan 300 fourtrax!

Who else has owned a Fourtrax?

I have owned..
- Fourtrax 300fw
- Foreman 450
- 2 Rubicon's
- Few Ranchers
- 2 Rincon's
- and a old worn-out Foreman 350 few years back.

I owned the first 4 wheel atv Honda made 1984 TRX 200.
13.5 HP two wheel shaft drive. These were the Forefathers of the Fourtrax

My dad had the same one. Had high and low range lever on the side of the motor. He bought me a new 87 250 fourtrax

Yup thats it. The sub trans was called Posi-Torque. The 85 TRX 250 upped the power but only had a 5 sp. With super low first.
Very stout machine for sure.

Well, it started when I was young with my aunt buying me a sweet Honda express scooter. Then it evolved into having three boys and a wife that rode. I'm sure I'm missing a few.

I currently still own other than my P1K5 a 2012 680 rincon, a 2002 rubicon 500, a 2002 XR400R and a 2002 XR200R and yes they all still run 😊

I still own one I purchased it for my wife in 18 as her first ATV and later I purchased a 96 300ex for myself. The trx200 was supposedly left in a field for 10 years. When my friend picked it up for me he said it sunk into the ground up to the frame. I paid $150 for it. It had some super rigged coil setup on it, reminded me of an old truck. When you turned the ignition on it gave constant spark until you attempted to turn the motor over, then the spark would skip with timing. The rear tool box had been hacked up to accommodate a lawn mower battery. The original harness was still on the machine. I reconnected the harness up, bought a used rectifier because it was missing, purchased a new OE CDI box (paid twice more than the machine for that) put a new lawn mower battery in the back, found out the metal fuel tank had rusted thru so I replaced that with a used plastic raptor tank rigged to it, filled the tires with slime and my wife has ran with that thing until this year when I purchased her a magnum. I showed her how to pop wheelies with it once and after about a month it seperated/split the clutch cup so no more wheelies lol.

Thanks man, now I'm beating myself up some more for sellin mine decades ago. It really was a great machine, I had mine for ten years and plowed alot of snow in Cleveland Ohio.
They are built very tough, If Honda put the same build quality into the Pioneer 1000 I just bought I will be very happy.

 

[Rayger143]

04 Foreman 450 bought new. I will never sell it.

 

[ChadD]

I will never sell my 91' either. Best thing I've ever owned!

 

[WagginTail]

I wish I still had my 94 300

 

[LJP]

'93 300
'05 500

The things are bullet proof! Absolutely love them and will never get rid of them.

Couldn’t wait for the new issues of ATV and Dirt Trax to arrive with the “new” Honda 4 wheelers featured! Poured over every page, over and over…still remember the first ride on the first 4x4 FourTrax released. It was (at the time) like I always imagined riding atop my little Stomper 4x4 toy trucks would be like….unstoppable!
‘80 110
‘83 Big Red
‘86 350x
‘20 Pioneer 1000-5

My son on his TRX70 about 20 yrs ago. My neighbour has it now for his kids and I get first chance to buy it back.

 

[Bigshow]

Started quads on a 85 TRX250F. Friend had a 84 TRX 200 with high low range. Then went TRX250X, 88 250R (1st R), 04 450R, 88 250R (2nd R), 03 Lobo 250R (3rd and final R), then 05 450R. Currently only quads I have is my Honzuki 09 LTR450 with Gen 1 Honda 450R engine and my sons TRX90.

Fresh oil and a new battery and she runs like new.
