Couldn't pass up the deal. It was a steal so I had to do it. When I picked it up it wouldn't idle or run very well unless the choke was on, so I tore apart the airbox and carb and found a nice mouse nest in the airbox and plugged jet in the carb. Cleaned everything up real nice and it runs like a champ now! It may not be mint, but for $50... come on, I had to. How often can you even buy anything for $50 that runs? What do you guys think?

Awesome deal! We have two 1983 ATC 200's and a 1985 ATC 70. Definitely fun to play around on...

my friend has a late 80s honda atc250 that we are re-doing. right now, we have everything apart and were gonna get the frame powdercoated, and paint a bunch of other stuff, then get some new plastics and stuff to make it look nicer. the only thing that theyre good for is wheelies. theyre way to easy to bring up.

d3ktrix, try no suspension!! lol. i don't care, the big balloons bounce plenty.
(nice yamaha btw)

54warrior, it's a 200S. it's basically the same thing as your dad's, just with a little bigger motor.

jesseweaver, get some pics of it when the rebuilds done. i wanna see it.

Three wheelers are so fun to mess around with and I'm sure I'm not the only one that started out on them either.
Here is my 84 110 that my dad bought new. My nephews the one on it. He was a trooper following us around dunes and trails with no suspension.

I need to buy a pit bike, my quads too loud, tears up the grass, and isn't much fun to just mess around on

Those things are awesome....we used to have a few. I had some friends that took a motorcycle front end, and put it on the 3 wheeler, giving it some suspension. It was very cool....and wish I had pics...but don't

my parents got me a 110 for my 1st bike.. I hate pull starts, regardless it was a lot of fun.

honestly for some types of riding ill have more fun on a 3 wheeler than a 4 wheeler. They are a blast to ride since you can take them almost anywhere

We really need a "show your 3 wheeler" thread. Back in the day at our cottage we had an 84 200s with front suspension, 83 185, the 110, and my first bike an 83 70. My parents bought it for my 4th birthday. This isn't an actual pic but it was identical. My brothers and I used to ride all day on trails around the lakes.

Was your 70 blue like that?? If so, those are really rare. I believe someone on here has a blue one like that...it think it is Rich250RRacer. I believe it was a holiday promotion...

Yup it was blue and I think my dad got for $100 in 88ish. They were very rare and made for the 1983 Christmas season only. The thing that sucks it I leaned this about a year ago and sold it almost 10 years ago for a few hundred dollars. Talk about being late to the party.
