Great lineup! What's most impressive is you ride them! Not a bunch of trailer queens! Definitely inspiring and nostalgia at its finest. I grew up and rode owned a few of those machines hondas and Suzuki quadracers 250 500 now I ride Banshee.

[@TheMapleDude1]

Yes all get ridden! You have the beast the 500!

[@Vintage.Mindset]

My dad had a 350x when I was a kid. It was an absolute jewel and a blast to ride. He sold it when I went off to college and I was mad as heck! He bought (and still has) an 85 ATC 250r several months later. The 250r had a twist throttle and I learned real quick why that was a bad idea when I popped a wheelie and couldn’t let off the throttle, nearly wrecked it the day after Dad bought it! I loved that 350x and could rip on it, the 250r however, scares the crap outta me! 😂😂

[@TheMapleDude1]

Those were the days. I have all these machines but wish I could ride them more.

[@chrisarena7543]

THIS CHANNEL IS AWESOME! Keep it up guys! My brother and I collect ATVs and you guys are doing our dream with the drag racing and comparisons!

[@Nomah1979]

Another machine that was an icon and a blast to ride is totally moddable with the big bore and piston kit is the Honda 400ex. They are monsters and affordable right now. I had mine bored out toa 426 with a stage 2 hot cam. I called it the "Hemi Honda"

[@TheMapleDude1]

I've never owned one, but I should.

[@minnesotatomcat]

I’ve got a 1987 moto 4 225 that I bought from a good friend of mine shortly before he passed away from cancer. He bought it new and his son rode the hell out of it for years then it got parked in the barn and didn’t run for nearly 2 decades. I got it home and went through everything and got it running like new and drove it over to my buddies place and man did he smile when he seen that thing cleaned up and running again! That was probably 10 years ago now and both my kids have now grown up learning to ride on that old devil!

[@TheMapleDude1]

Cool story, yeah lots of memories with these old machines. Thanks for telling it.

[@JeremyBreeden89]

Definitely agree with keeping these machines original especially if they are in as good of condition as these. My dad bought one of each year of the 250r quads brand new and he only lightly rode them up and down the road very so often but most of the time they were stood up in the building as show pieces. I still have the 1987 red and white 250r all original down to the tires. There is a Kawasaki tecate 250 three wheeler in very good condition in my area for sale now for $3500.

[@TheMapleDude1]

Cool I like to hear that. What year is the Tecate?

[@ChefxZac]

My dad had an 87 banshee he got for around 1k and he also had a 250 quad racer he got rid of them a while ago he had a couple of other quads and dirt bikes

[@TheMapleDude1]

Also missing in there is the Trx 250r. But I recently got one. Yes the 250sx is one that I think about. Thanks for watching. You had some great machine!

[@Cobra37061]

I have a 1985 ATC250SX and highly recommend it. It is basically the sport version of the Big Red with more suspension and 50 pounds lighter. It is not as fast as any of your ATVs, but is still faster than any 2015-2024 Honda ATVs other than the Rincon 680. It is great for trail riding and doing light work around the house. It has electric start, reverse, shaft drive, front and rear suspension. Other than the 1985-1987 SX and Big Red, the only other 3-wheeler with all of those features is the rare 1985-1986 Yamaha YTM225DR Tri-Moto.

[@TheMapleDude1]

Yeah I've ridden one... not great handling... but unique for sure.

[@Cobra37061]

@@TheMapleDude1 You don’t think the ATC250SX handles good? I started off back in the day on a 1985 ATC110. The SX feels extremely stable compared to the 110. I’ve had the SX for 8 years and have never come close to crashing it. It is more stable on the side of a hill than my 50” lawnmower. Even though I would be a little cramped, I’d like to get another 110 and maybe a ATC200S (lightweight and simple). I’ve got a Hondaline trailer hitch on the SX and a Hondaline rear rack that I take on and off. No cracks in the original plastics. I like the solid red color of my ’85 SX better than the 1986 and 1987 models. At 50, I am really liking the electric start. Lol.

[@TheMapleDude1]

@Cobra37061 I mean it's not as good handling as say the 200x. That's what I was thinking. .

[@Cobra37061]

@@TheMapleDude1 Yeah, the 250SX outweighs the 200X by about 80 pounds, so you can’t throw it around as easily. The shaft drive and electric start weigh a lot. It can drag a big trailer full of wood though and looks pretty good. We all need a machine for every occasion. Lol. The value of the SX and Big Red has skyrocketed over the past few years. Awesome that you got the rare ’87 X.

The YT175 had front suspension and there is a video on here of one absolutely smoking a 1983 YTM225DX in a drag race. The YT175 should give the Blaster a run for its money due to being over 60 pounds lighter.
