We are on the hunt for the worlds last brand new Honda ATC 250! These 2 stroke powered tricycles were famously outlawed in the United States and have since earned a feared and revered reputation. If this bike is what we hope it is, it might just be one of the rarest dirt bikes on earth and certainly the holy grail of all terrain vehicles...but what would a machine like that cost? Let us know your guesses!

Just a quick note to say that this ATC250R is actually a 1986 model not 85 .

@alw5632 Ай бұрын
correct. the 1985 had a different front light, first easily seen thing, then the warning he pointed out were not part the plastics until 1986 or if you had to order a replacement plastic for you 1985. there are a few other changes however this bike in this video is not a 1985 model. maybe sold in 1985 between september- december.

You definitely have a 1985 here. The 86 was the last year and the engine was black not like the grey 85. They produced an 87 model but none got out of factory or not that we know of but a lot of engine parts sold after 86 were stamped with the 87 part number. The 87 was a generation 4 250R and had engine and suspension upgrades. Before covid a crate 86 ATC250R near me sold for $21,000 and it has changed hands 3 times that I k ow if then sold on E bay but not sure what it brought. I believe there are 3 that show up from time to time and a few 89 TRX 250R’s still in crates floating around the Midwest but never heard of one selling.

I have 4 ATCs currently. A 1984 Big Red, two fully suspended ATC 185s and a 1983 atc 250R. The guy to know in this situation is Preston Frasier, his channel is called " This old Trike". He literally has acres of these machines in various conditions mostly survivors. If you want to find a decent 250R he's the guy to ask.

That's sweet I didn't even know you could make the 185 have full suspension. If I remember correctly they only came with front forks and no rear shock. Was it an aftermarket kit or did the parts come from the 250r. Planning on restoring my childhood 110 soon. Can't wait.

I rode my 86 ATC 250R just yesterday--had a blast as usual. They aren't any more dangerous than other machines, you just have to know how to ride them. The problem was parents saw the big balloon tires and allowed little Johnny to ride without a helmet unsupervised. They need to be respected just like any other machine.

Wheelers were fun in the wintertime. I worked at a dealership then and seemed like EVERYONE had one. They also were the beginning of ruining our local motocross tracks, 3 balloon tires altered the ruts&berms, 4-wheelers even worse with hump left between tires. Diane Feinstein and her Dem chronies put a stop to those 3-wheelers though, and the manufacturers responded with throwing another wheel on the front. The damage was done though. IMO we never sold as many Quads as we did 3-wheelers. And yes the first time I rode one I stuck my leg out into a corner and ran over it😂

He calls it a 1985 but... it is an 1986 model. It was likely build in late 85. In 85 the 250R seat had "250R" printed on the side. The 86' had "ATC" on the seat and 250R on the radiator shroud.

Although I owned many CR 250s through the years and still have one,I’ve wanted an ATC250 R since 1985!! If eBay had been around back in the day I would have gotten one! Now in my 50s I guess it’s not going to happen.

How many people are injured on motorcycles?,cars ? Trampolines? Quads!! That said the 250r’s were really crazy to tame ! Take a 350x with torque for days and decent suspension and go for a rip . You would love it !!!!

$20k minimum. Sucky part about never being started though, I bet the cylinder and bearings all have a ton of rust in them. Same with rhe carb. (Aluminum oxidation) You guys should buy one of those CRF ATC conversions. Pretty sure someone made a CR500 one too

Probably about 5 years ago there was a video of a guy having a ATC 250r still in the crate. And put it on eBay. It was up to $60,000 USD last time I seen it on eBay

Sixty grand? Unfortunately, I have to say that's impossible. I don't care what condition it is - brand new in the crate or not - no one is going to spend 60k on a three wheeler.

@ThisOldTrike That's insanity. I think I might know what's going on. I used to be in the used car business, and we would work the auctions quite a bit. Sometimes you'd get word about a buyer who really wanted something we were selling so we would put a plant in the crowd and they would bid up the car to crazy numbers against this particular buyer and sometimes we'd be able to bump the price thousands more than it normally would have. It was pretty effective, and I'm wondering if this is what's going on here.

If you read about it on 3 wheelerworld it ended up selling for Around 32 thousand at the time or was it 38. I forgot but the guy bought it and put it together and started using it. And there were pictures at the sand dunes. Of the new owner on it. But they never got the crazy money it hit on eBay sadly.

86 was last year in US making the 86s more desirable than 85s. The "holy grail" would be an 87 that someway somehow made its way to existence.

Not sure where you’re from but me and all my buddies called them 3wheelers down in MS, never heard anyone call them a trike back then. We all had Big Reds and with the right tires they would float, forded many rivers and creeks trying to get to that good hunting spot. I finally got around to restoring mine a couple years ago and all my quad buddies were scared to death on it saying it was a death trap. Obviously I’ve been on quads for quite a while now but I swear there were places quads couldn’t follow when I on the Big Red.

@@SakoRichards We call them three-wheelers here in NY as well. We had a couple growing up as kids and that's what we learned to ride on. My father has a 1982 ATC 185S and my grandfather had a 1985 Kawasaki KLT 110. The 185S could get up to speed quicker because it was stronger but the 110 had an extra gear so it could still keep up when it got up to speed. They were both fun machines but the 185 was a total back killer. 😁

have and ride a 86 250r, great shape and fun as hell to ride. have and ride a mint 84 big red 200 shaft, high low and reverse, and a second mint 200 chain drive, going after a nice 70 tomorrow I hope. there's rumored to be one in a crate in my town, but I expected to see out and about when his father passed and it never showed. I'm curious what the guy would have to have for that if he was to sell it. I'd guess 50 grand but wouldn't be surprised if it could fetch a quarter million.
