but you would have to check up on that

The first atv was released in 1969 as a 1970 model by Honda... It was called the US90. Here's some information on Honda's site: US90 (http://powersports.honda.com/the_story/heritage/heritage_milestone.asp?Decade=1970&TargetUrl=Milestone/Milestone_Model_0090.asp&PrevPageTitle=TimeLine&bhcp=1)

Also, check out this site: More US 90 stuff (http://atc90.tripod.com/hondaatc90/)

And you may want to see all of the articles listed on: 3 Wheeler World (http://www.3wheelerworld.com)

Hope some of that info helps you out! :)

Also, a couple of months ago, there was an article about the first ATC250R.

On the Honda site, there's some info about the '81 250R... Looks like Honda raced it for the first time in 1980.
