I Found 23 ABANDONED 3 Wheelers, Will they Run + Ride?

I took a trip to visit Junkyard Digs who has a HUGE stash of Honda 3 wheelers! 23 3 wheelers to be exact- ATC 200s, ATC 110, ATC 125, and more. In today's episode of CarsandCameras, we take a handful of these abandoned Honda ATC 3 wheelers, make them run, and take them for a ride!

[@manofriend4236]

So close to 1 mil subs!

[@kevinsellsit5584]

Apparently these were more reliable in the 90's. The most I owned at once was 5, three of which were loaners, my 250R which I had more money in than my daily driver, and a very torquey Frankenstein 3 wheeler which was a 185S with a worked over 200 top end, big carb and supertrapp exhaust. The suspension front end was off a big red, so it always looked like it was going up hill. The 250R was a Glamis only ATC with a wide axle and extended swingarm and way to much power for the desert. My in-laws had a house right on the edge of the desert and always wanted to go riding with me. They kept beating up my 185S so I bought 2 200S and a 200M which had electric start. The problem was they would try to keep up with me on my XR350 R (one cylinder, two carbs, 4 valves and duel exhaust, ... and just two wheels, fast) and end up in some cactus somewhere. Picking cactus needles out of my wife's brothers ass was not something I signed up for in the vows. Otherwise good times, and I still wish I would have kept some of my toys from those days. My FJ 1100 Yamaha, my XR350 R, and my 250R. But I'm 55 and still alive, and still have a 1200 cc street bike. Thanks for the memories. P.S. I think the video will get "BLOED UP".

[@kygunworks4982]

I believe that 4 wheeler is a 250X, the EX was shaft driven with a different style case

[@skeptic669]

Yeah also the 250x and and the 300ex were basically the same atv but the the 300ex was electric start and newer with a slightly bigger bore (286cc) the 250ex was a honda recon 250 with sports plastics and a manual clutch lever added to the wet clutch

I started riding on the ATC90 in 1974, and I rode 3-wheelers throughout the 1970s. It was AWESOME fun. IMHO, it was way more fun that riding motorcycles, even if the ATCs were significantly slower. We were drifting before drifting was a thing...

The 3 wheel ATV ban of the early 80's has runout so technically manufacturers could start building 3 wheel ATV's again. They got a bad reputation because people were letting kids ride them that were way to young.

[@effyoo6081]

Check out the documentary on why they were banned. Nothing to do with age and everything to do with center of gravity. If you don't lean your entire weight to one side during a turn, you're going over. And you're probably right that kids did not have to weight to counterbalance the way three wheelers needed to be riden.

Only took a couple miles for the destruction. Took her back to stock with rebuilt cylinder and sold it before I blew it up again. Didn't like to run part throttle.

The 250R was a screamer but if you can get your hands on twin cylinder 350X which is a torque monster you won’t be disappointed. The other key trike to get would be a 200X. The 200’s you guys are working with are good river trikes because they float, just don’t tip them in the water.
