Ive been looking constantly for a 85-86 ATC250R, and i stumbled across this guy that has a collection of vintage trikes

all his bikes are in superb condition, and i was seeing what you guys thought of this 86 with a CR500 motor in it

do it.

where is caldwell?? I have been looking around for a nice ATC as well. but keep finding great deals on built zilla hybrids. the ATC is supposed to be much more adept at a non-cb motor so the CR hybrid would be perfect for them

one other thing. how do you start it? remember the CR kick backwards so the fenders get in the way and you either need a flip top sub frame or pull the fenders off and put them back on. which is pretty simple on a honda..

I'm not the only one who noticed that the brake pedal is upside down, why did he have to do that? That looks to be a +4 swingarm also, it might be alittle hard to turn if you are riding woods with it.

looks like the break pedal has to be mounted like that to not interfere with the kick start? hard to tell from just this picture but that would be my guess.

The way they used to be was.....

they hinged the plastic at the rear of the frame, where the seat latch was and then made a new latch setup, up front by the tank.

tip the plastic back 90 degree's so its straight up in the air, get on, kick it to life, get up on the tank and tip the plastic back.
