![]() ![]() The suspension is setup for 170lb rider for motocross use. The bike handles absolutely amazing offroad, slides around every corner with no typical 2 wheeling known by 3 wheelers. I reccomend 50% race gas with the current piston. refresh results with search filters open search menu. Mileage is approximetly 1500 since new, the included speedometer long ago broke (snagged on a log) and i just used a cellphones gps for speedometer. Title states 10,000 (what the bike had before i rebuilt it). The plastics are a little scuffed from woods riding and the rear has a small hole from hitting the exhaust pipe. taillens is cracked (still works fine) carb is jetted for sea level elevation. I have spare needles and jets for any elevation included. Ive tried to list all imperfections i can possibly think of, please call with further question (DO NOT EMAIL ME PLEASE!!) This is a very reliable bike and has been a blast to build and ride, i hope someone else will enjoy it as much as i have. A almost complete roller 200x, windshield and lots of other spare parts included. I’ve said for a while the lineup of Honda three-wheelers is one of the smartest ones to buy cheap right now, given you can still find them at the occasional estate sale or local classifieds if you keep your eye out.Will drive 100 miles any direction of 97467 for free, will also take to shipping dock if its within 100 miles WILL NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL AS PAYMENT, CASH IN PERSON, CASHIERS OR CERTIFIED CHECK, WIRE INTO ACCOUNT ONLY!! IVE BEEN BURNED BY PAYPAL BEFORE AND DO NOT CARE TO USE IT AGAIN. Overall, that’s not stopping bidders who know how hard these are to find both due to the limited production and to so many examples being wrecked or otherwise damaged and rebuilt. The ignition switch is cracked, and there are some cosmetic blemishes to the plastic fairings. It’s all original except for a new front tire and replacement air cleaner. The seller of this example has found one of the very few 1986 models left that hasn’t been damaged or modified in any way. ![]() Incredibly, with the new engine and a six-speed transmission, the 250R was capable of a top speed north of 70 miles per hour. The popular Pro-Link suspension technology continued to be used, while front and rear suspension travel was increased to almost 10 inches. The 250R seen here was a monster (in the best way possible), equipped with a new, more powerful liquid cooled engine and a stronger frame. Honda eventually agreed to stop selling its three wheelers as a way to a quell the building firestorm, but not before releasing a high performance model for 1985/1986. Deaths and serious injuries resulting from roll-overs soon began to pile up, along with the lawsuits. It became obvious within short order that Honda’s dealer network wasn’t properly advising inexperienced riders and parents of children that the ATC wasn’t intended for rookie riders. The professional riders shown hurtling the ATCs into impressive drifts across sand dunes or dusty trailers were inspirational to the average rider, but the three wheeled Hondas weren’t the kind of vehicle that permitted amateur riders to look more talented than they were. When the promotional videos debuted for Honda’s ATC line, it was hard not to be tempted into ownership. Sales ended abruptly as lawsuits began to mount, and that makes survivor examples like this 1986 Honda ATC 250R here on eBay so collectible today. These ATVs were a way for Honda to make it through the winter season on something other than snowmobile sales, but there was a big problem: the bikes were intended for mature riders only, and dealers were selling these three-wheelers to everyone from kids to adults who couldn’t much drive a car correctly, let alone a high-powered three-wheeler. When it comes to vintage ATVs, Honda’s lineup of rowdy three-wheelers have earned a somewhat legendary reputation. ![]()
