'85 ATC 250ES Big Red. Bought it twelve years ago, still mine and loving it. It's one of my most reliable bikes!

Had 3 '85's here.
Just sold them about a year and a half ago. Hated to see them go but they were just sitting.

2000 Honda Rancher 350

2005 suzuki eiger, bought it right before I got married, I still have it.

1984 Honda Atc 200x (wife in the pic. , girlfriend at the time).

I have often thought about buying another one , the 3 wheelers are fun machines.


Yep that's right , no helmet or shirt!

Man, those 200x had a reputation for being a bear to start. Kick, kick, kick...I always saw them sitting at the TOP of a hill to BS, so they could bump start them rolling down.

You're right on about 3-wheelers being fun to ride. I had the last air cooled 250R and it was a blast, got off that and on a 1986 CR500 then a 1991 CR500 that drew blood on the previous owner (COMPOUND fracture of the right wrist, and a broken leg...). Those bike are still CRAZY fast right to this day.

My wife got the 250R 3-wheeler and was amazing. She could traverse the face of a 200' sand dune like she was just hanging there.

We've also had 185 3 wheelers, 650 Rincon, 400 Rancher AT, Suzuki TS-90 (built to 100) Honda 50 step through (1960 something).

I always spent my money on Harley's, boats, dirt toys and beer. The rest I just wasted...as the saying goes.

Mine was the Honda ATC, I wore out the sides of the tires first from riding on just 2 wheels. Those that had them know what I'm talking about.

1986 honda 200sx. What a tough little machine.

Honda 185S, in 83 IIRC. I got broken bones from that one.

 

[sugarray]

2009 Yamaha Grizzly 700, used. Had for 4-5 years and traded on the Pioneer

 

[Huntnbuddy2]

1990 blue fourtrax 300. Was a graduation present to myself. Still have it and use it around the property when I need borrow wheel base or using the attachments for it. Fires up every time. It's still a beast of a machine for a 300. I purchased a Polaris Sportsman in 2004 wanted the plush IRS. Sold it and kept the Honda.

 

[CURTK]

1970 Honda ATC 90. They didn't even come with lights. You had to order the light kit and the headlight came with this chrome bracket that clamped around the front fork. It was an extra $15.00.

P1K5. I was always part of the 2 wheeler crowd that frowned on the trikes and eventually the 4-wheelers. I was won over many years ago but didn't get around to getting one until last year.

 

[wood207]

What was tour first ATV you purchased on your own? Do you still have it?

My first ATV was a 2003 Honda foreman 450s, I sold it 4 years ago to my best friend I grew up with and he still has it today

PS, it still purrrs like a kitten

Mine was a new razor xp 1000 turbo the first year of production. It was a real lemon. Polaris manufacturing ended up buying it back from me. Since then I have had a 2016 Honda 1000-5, and now a 2018 Honda 1000-5 LE. LOVE the Honda
