Dude that’s a classic. You definitely should restore this machine. Original metal tank too. Bring it back to life 👍🏻

That’s right lt500r✊🏽

[@That.1320.Alterd]

Man I love these things, I’ve had over 4 and regret selling all but another one always shows up lol

[@cichavlogs834]

I have an all original 85 honda 250sx and it was stolen, when we got it back it was painted and broke. I wanna restore it but I can't find any OEM parts

[@masterjcp1274]

Dude I like that LT 500 that’s mint

[@978twostrokegarage2]

You should see all the new upgrades just done. I might just post a vid this week getting everything put back together and firing it up first time in a long time. But I’m sure the lt250r would surprise you fully built just for the street

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

The 200X was probably one of the heartiest machines of the era. I had two, an 83 and an 84. Neither of them broke down, ever. That's a collectors item now and worth some cash if it's clean enough.

[@christophercook3840]

I have an 84 200X that I restored. Three days before I was supposed to take it on it’s “maiden voyage” on the trails I ruptured my ACL. Now it’s just sitting in the garage collecting dust. They are awesome machines and an absolute blast to ride.

[@raymondluna3187]

Man, that is sad. I hope you are well now and enjoying them trails

[@ryanjenkins8728]

I love ATC projects, seeing these come back to life brings a smile to my face every time.

[@hughjaskoch5456]

I had one of these about 20 yrs ago. Was a blast to ride in the snow. Lived on a lake that froze in the winter, tons of fun.

[@ducttapenzipties]

I bought one of these when I was 14 and rode it almost every day for 3 years until I sold it, wish I had kept it. One of the best bikes Honda ever made in my opinion

[@TheTojocat]

So i gotta say your trouble shooting is getting so good, i was impressed how quickly you got that classic to spark. I didnt think you would get it to run without tearing that carb apart but well done. My buddy had a 200x when i was a kid, i had the 84 tecate 250, lots of memories when i saw that 200x. I would love to watch you restore it. I know a 200 would be nothing compared to todays big bore bikes but that little 200 is loads of fun and fast for its small engine size.

[@dubbedmodz7253]

Hell yea!! I'm goin riding for first time on my new to me 85 350x I been building during quarantine, I love these things, grew up on them, so nice choice bro!!!

[@shanelarock1290]

just got an 84 atc 110 also live in wisconsin with 3 inches of snow on the ground fixing it up and riding👌🤘

[@Bri-tg6xr]

I have an 85 250sx, I love these atcs. Hope to own every kind Honda made someday. So far I've had 3. ES, 70, SX. It'll run, ever see junkyard digs's atc build, it'll run.

[@MultiMoveman]

Thats a killer wheeler man, thanks for taking the 3 wheeler video request, been lookin forward to this, got 13 wheelers myself

[@sharpeidad1055]

I got to ride a brand new 1984 200X back in the day, with Cobra exhaust...thank you for this video Joe...I am very grateful

[@ronmurdock8897]

Always loved these I had a bad ass 250r one from yamaha Honda and Kawasaki actually

[@andrewjackson6986]

New seat cover new decals treat the tank inside and pipe be a gem lots of nice stuff there nice find

[@ryooperdude3144]

Good old honda trikes. I had a big red 250es that sat in someone's back yard for 12 years and I got it running by just a plug change and carb cleaned. Another great find!

[@dennisbell9066]

When I was a young teen I was blessed to have owned three of these . Two 84s and an 85 . One would start in the dead of winter on a cold start . The other two was torturous at times ! I still have dents in my shin bone from the recoil of the hick starter !

[@LuvTruckGarage]

I bought a 200x new in 1985 and it was an awesome 3 wheeler. Great video!

[@jackhiggins4971]

Those old three wheeler's are so cool

Nice man im 13 years old I have a '83 250r I did a lot of work to get it going I want to get more of these machines but its kind of hard to find one in Vegas and it hard right now because of money.

I had the exact one in the late 80s early 90s and I put alot of miles on mine. I still have it but needs alot of attention and a motor. This one you got is really in good shape. Mine would not get spark and I replaced the magneto and ran like a champ.

[@charlieshell5231]

Love the videos man. I think it'd be cool to see a Timberwolf 250 4x4 if you find one. They're a smaller engine but really neat older quads and you usually don't find them in great condition. Keep up the content man.👍👍

nice you got a ATC i have a 200x as well they super fun i love your 3 wheeler vids keep the great work up!

[@maxs7854]

[@seezers1296]

Yeaahhh honda 200x! I have an 85 200 and I love that thing with every inch of heart. They’re a really reliable machine and you should really restore that thing. Fun mine has a cobra too witch told me your 84 has potential

Such a great trike! I own the same model along with a 350 and a 110. They are such a blast!

Nice score dude its sick. Even has period correct cobra exhaust. That thing will rip hard!!!!

Surprised you don't know the switch needs to be grounded on the handle bars.

[@TheDoozie43]

That is literally the same as my first ever atv. Man that brings back memories. Badass! I put mine through hell, buried it up to the handlebars in the swamp and it just kept going! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@huemanru2]

The Cobra exhaust is VERY period correct. No Key on a 84 200x. The master cylinder and headlight guards are Hondaline accessories, not standard but optional.

[@MrFireline55]

Man that’s actually pretty clean, rear plastics are mint and it’s got some good parts!

[@DRZrider07]

Also like my '97 Honda XR200R it should be a 520 sealed chain. I always bought Primary Drive X-Ring chains from Rocky Mountain ATV bc they weren't very expensive and bc I lubed them (from the inside so centrifugal motion pulled the oil through the links) before EVERY ride with a paintbrush and a cool whip container of used oil, later on I switched to bar and chain oil applied the same way. My chains lasted a long time.

200x is a very sought after bike. Love em, my favorite is the 350x. The 84 models had some flaws but we're awesome as well, first year for the Trx 4 wheelers to, same motors and rear ends, tires wheels etc. I've got # 644 off the assembly line out in my shop right now.

The headlight was working when u tried to start it. I read all the comments to see if I was the first to mention it lol. But if u need more idea for quads to get, ltr 450 (very expensive for oem parts tho), outlaw irs, scrambler 400 4x4, lt 80, ds 650

Looks like yours was stripped Edit 2: The on switch you're referring to on the handle bar is for the headlights. Also this assembly needs to be grounded by the handlebars to work.

Black and white wire is the kill switch wire and green is ground, they switch makes the contact between the black and white wire and the green (ground), if you unplug the wires mentioned if possible, it should be an open circuit and provide spark!

Dude one more rare thing I see that side case cover that's a great sigh I can't tell you how many I've seen with spilt cases from chain coming off and splitting the case because people would take them off or not tighten there chain when doin crazy stuff.

Perfect timing needed something to get my mind off my life I love your videos especially because it's a 3 wheeler
