“What Is It?” asks Honda's advertising
brochure. Just a revolutionary off-road vehicle
destined to launch a whole new industry that
will sell more than 6.5 million machines*.
Honda's first ATV is a three-wheel ATC, or
All-Terrain Cycle, originally named the US90;
the name was later changed to ATC90. The 89cc
four-stroke single cranks out 7 horsepower
and features such extras as a Swivel-Lok™
handlebar for easy loading in a trunk or a
station wagon.
*Estimated industry sales from 1970 to
August 1999
