The 1985 Honda ATC Lineup! - ATC 70, 110, 125M, 200S, 200M, 200X, 200ES, 250ES, 250SX, 250R and 350X

Today we're discussing the Honda ATC model year that had the most variations of any other year, 1985! Old Marty McFly had a great idea when he wanted to get back to that radical year in Back To The Future...
Honda sold 11 different models of three wheeler this year. Only 10 were available in the US. There was one model available outside the US, the 1985 200ES Big Red, which we've discussed in other videos. Felt good to get all these fine ladies together for a photo shoot!
I present to you the class of '85!

1985 greatest year of my childhood !

[@ThisOldTrike]

It was a great time to be alive, that's for sure!!

[@21AirDrop]

In 1985 I mowed so many lawns and bought a lightly used 200X. Took the biggest crash in my life on it and dented my tank up after only owning it for about two weeks. I was devastated and was 15 years old. Recovered and had a great time on that trike for quite a while.

[@Mrcbuilds]

I think 85 was the best year for Honda ATC. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThisOldTrike]

Thank you sir!

[@BobDingleful]

I agree - that was a huge year for everything they did, and rapid change year to year slowed down after that. I would say 1985 was the year they really put things together for motocross bikes and ATV's. The modern machines still reflect the 1985 innovation in many ways still.

[@tg8150]

Born in ‘71, I remember all of these growing up and rode the 70 as a kid. I made my way to dirt bike MX but always wanted that 200X. That front disc brake and the white/red/blue scheme was just sweet. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. You have some rare gems! We still have our blue ‘71 Z50 I learned on and a green ‘78 Honda Express.

[@benmayhew373]

Man do I ever love this video!!! Brings back so many memories. I started at 12 years old with a ATC 110 and then went to a 200 and finally finished with the 250sx that was exactly like the one in this video. Sold it in 1987 to buy my first car. I absolutely loved it and still think of it often. Thanks for this video. My mind is full of amazing memories right now. 👍✌️🇨🇦

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you like my other videos too!

[@Cobra37061]

You remind me of my story. I also had a 1985 110 when I was 12 and regrettably sold it to put towards buying my first car. I bought a 1985 250SX in 2016 and no way am I ever letting it go. Still wanting to add a 110 back to the collection though (along with a few others).

[@verticallyimpaired2978]

Very cool video! My first bike was an 85 250ES, I rode the old girl until the rear end gave up the ghost. Then I bought my 250sx. Good times! Thanks for sharing.

I got my 185s in 1982, had friends that had 70's 90's 110's, 200's 200x's Big Red's...My uncle got a regular 185, in 79 (I had only ridden 110's up to that time) he then got a 250R & eventually even got an Odyssey... I was 12 in 1982, in Northern Tennessee & we lived on these things...I still enjoy them today, they are just different from everything else & surly had their place. I intend to own another one when I have space...Crazy that they canceled them...A friend of mine sells motorsport equip in Michigan said more people are injured or killed on Snowmobiles than Street Bikes, Dirt Bikes, Quads & jet skis combined...I don't know its true but KNOW in Mich. more people have crashed on Snow Machines that 3 wheelers ever....

[@ThisOldTrike]

1985 was my favorite year for the ATC lineup. I own a 1985 250SX and do prefer the red color over the 1986-87 models. The only 1986 models I prefer over 1985 would be the 200X and 350X. A 250R from either year would be great.

[@MattDragonTamer]

Up here in Canada, the 200M and 200e are super common. I don't know if it was the price point or the sales pitch, but Honda sold alot of them up here. We didn't have the racing background up here as the states did, it was mostly utility or recreational use like fishing and hunting. When I was first buying them for parts, many were one owner machines and I was told that the dealers ran specials for the 200m and 200e frequently. They were easy to fix in the bush if something went wrong and they had the utility racks needed to get the job done. Funny you mentioned the spotlights, they were common to find up here years ago, but as the used market prices started to increase, they started to become less common. On a final note, the 110 and 125 were also popular, followed by the 200es and 250es & sx as time went on...

[@ThisOldTrike]

Thanks man! That's all good stuff!

[@DougFLTRX]

I'm sure you've seen Tims hardtail 200S racers.... There's something that would make a great video. I remember when he posted his and a couple other 200S racers on 3WW. Fantastic machines. Wish I had kept ours and done the same

[@markc6207]

I used to have a 200X 1985 vintage. I agree the 85 was the best looking. I would love to own a 200X again I'm going to have to find one.

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

My Aunt has a 1985 ATC110 with the Hi/Lo range and auto clutch. That thing was used, abused, left out barely covered usually by a car port. It snows a lot there so it still was loaded with snow and ice. Barely had oil changes, a spark plug or two. Thing still runs, the clutch is spent and it needs starting fluid to start but it runs.

[@BobDingleful]

200m was an ideal machine. I have a 200es now and had a 200m for 15 years and wish I had the 200m now. It was lighter, had better forks and didn't have all the big red stuff to deal with and slow it down - but you had to get a rear rack for sure. Went through two sets of sprokets and chains during that time so the maintenance wasn't an issue, but it performed a lot better. The extra 40 lbs in the rear and the shaft drive of the ES with the weak forks make a big difference from an enjoyment point of view if you aren't interested in the utility aspect and are using the trike mostly for transportation.

[@ThisOldTrike]

That makes a lot of sense. I can see that point of view for sure. Thank you!

[@BobDingleful]

@@ThisOldTrike I 200m front end swapped my ES. You should notice the ES pushes a lot more and that the M is a lot easier to rotate and slide. I lost my storage for the M and had to sell it - still trying to get it back. Keep up the great vids! I actually did listen to this video before bed last night.

[@BobDingleful]

@@ThisOldTrike And I agree it was an oddball when you look at the lineage of the other bikes in the lineup but it was a lower cost than the big red. It seems to be made on purpose and not an excuse to use up old parts.

[@dandersonjr]

I'm a motorcycle guy. I have no use for four wheeler's with the exception of the Yamaha Banshee and although I've never owned one I always thought the three wheelers were pretty cool. Especially the 2 stroke racing machines. Thanks.

Mr Preston… Thanks for another really nice trike video. Always enjoy watching these. In an upcoming video, can you share with us what you do for a profession ? I would love to know what you do when you’re not making ATC content. Thank you. Mike B.

What's up man! I could do that... it's boring though! It involves clicking a mouse and pushing paper! I sit around way too much which is probably why I'm a little thicker in the middle than I'd like! But yeah, I'll do something like that for you.

[@jeremyhallam5392]

First I want to say that I'm looking forward to the Trike Fest videos. Second, I have a few thoughts on the 200M. Despite the starting and drive differences, I think that the 1980 185, the 200, the 200E, and the 200ES were basically the same machine. They all used the 12x12-9 tires, similar rear fenders, and similar seats. I feel that the ATC 200 didn't sell very well after the 200E came out. I know that the electric start was very popular. I think that Honda tried to keep the big framed, lower cost utility trikes going by putting the electric start onto the 1983 ATC200 and calling it a 200M. I feel that the fact that 83 was the last year for the 200 and 84 was the first year of the 200M (in the US) tends to back that up. I have nothing to prove what I've said, but it all makes sense to me. Just like manufacturers today, Honda was trying to hit several different price points to appeal to a wider range of buyers.

[@ThisOldTrike]

Thank you sir! Well, I think you're on to something with the 200M theory, but the 1980 185 and 1981-1983 ATC 200 Chassis is different than the 200M's chassis. It's more like the 82/83 Big Red, with the exception of the front forks which is identical to the 83 200. I agree that they were trying to hit all the price points. I bet they had 82/83 Big Red frames in inventory to use up and opted to make the stripped down utility trike to use them up.

[@jeremyhallam5392]

@@ThisOldTrike Now thank you. I learned something today.

[@BobDingleful]

​@@ThisOldTrike I agree they were meeting a price point and that it was done to make the 200 more popular when competing with the 200e, and I also think they were trying something, there was a lot of change between 1980-1984 and then things got more stable and consistent when the big 1985 year came and the M had no place, and the now dated 25-inch 200 platform died. It was a smart idea to use the old parts to make a machine with a better purpose. Weird those front forks only ran for three years on the 200 and the M though.

[@NASCARLSON]

Ahh..WTF? I was 11yrs old in 85.. My dad & me had two brand new TRX 125's Quads! My father worked for a Japanese company in Dublin. He was project manager for Honda's East Liberty plant in Marysville OH. His company TKS installed all of Honda's paint finishing systems. Dad was the 1st American to be hired by TKS.

[@ronaldbruce6845]

A few years ago I was selling a 2009 Nissan frontier. The buyer and myself were about $1000 apart and he offered me a basket case 85' 250R. It was complete, motor, good aftermarket plastics, wheels and axle. After assembly it would only need tires. I accepted it and sold it he next day to my neighbor for the $1000 that I wanted out of my truck. He put it together in an afternoon and sold it a few days later for $4,000!!!! I could have kicked myself.

[@cj7fun579]

What a great line up of the 1985 ATC lineup! I always wanted to know the true difference between the 250SX and the 250ES as far as where Honda made the changes to make the SX geared higher than the Big Red? It's either in the trans or the rear end. When I was a teenager, me and another boy was messing around and swapped the tires over from his 85 250 SX over to my 85 Big Red and Vise versa, and it made the SX geared really High, and the Big Red was geared crazy low and wind through the gears very fast which was really funny at the time playing around. We never did a top speed with the SX with the Big Red tires. It felt so weird because 3rd gear felt like 5th gear, and it had plenty of power, we just didn't have nowhere to ride that fast. I wonder how fast that SX would go like that?

[@chrisjones9460]

In my opinion, you under rated the 200X. I honestly think that it should be up there next to the 250R, mainly because it's more of a sport trike than others you put above it!!

[@ThisOldTrike]

I hear ya. I didn't put them in order of which machines value or rate above the others. I was just putting them in order of size for the most part. But you're right, I don't really care too much for the 1st gen 200X's. They're cool, but for me they're just kind of meh... But that probably has a lot to do with my weight and nostalgia for the 350X and the power of that machine. I get on a 200X and I'm kind of disappointed power-wise...

Wow, I would love to visit your "showroom"! 😀 Very nice collection! I grew up on Honda ATCs on the farm. Since you have ridden so many, I have a question. Have you noticed any model being more stable than another? The reason I ask is because I only drove a 1986 ATC125M and a 1984 ATC110. The 110 always felt much more tippy than the 125. How do they compare to a 185 or the Big Reds?

cool !!.......i had a 84....200x brand new !!

[@ThisOldTrike]

Awesome! I'll be getting to the 1984 Line Up soon. Gotta get a machine put back together first and then I'll be ready. Hopefully before the end of November.

KILLER THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@airadaimagery692]

Which is more fun, the 200X or 250SX?

[@ThisOldTrike]

I personally enjoy a 250SX more. I'm sure others would say the opposite.

[@poseidon5003]

I never understood why the 110 and the 125m even existed together. One was just as good as the other except for the electric start. I imagine the 125m would have eventually replace the 110 but ,with the looming ban, that long term plan failed.

[@ThisOldTrike]

I mean, it kinda did. 1985 was the last year of the 110... and the 125M continued into 86 and 87. The 200M is what always confuses me; how it existed along side the 200ES.

[@poseidon5003]

@@ThisOldTrike It wasn't a real 125M with the dual range sub-transmission though. It was just another 125. Different engine. The small one . By that time EVERYONE was getting the ultimate evolution of three wheeler which was the 1984 Big Red anyway.

[@erichiles9568]

How much are the 1984 es big reds worth

[@ThisOldTrike]

All depends on condition and originality. The biggest value is in an unrestored, clean, all original machine. A used, good condition machine with uncracked fenders... "patina" on the tank and frame... some rust, replaced tires... wear on the racks... that is the typical condition of an 84 Big Red... that machine right now is worth about $1,750 to $2,000... but if fenders are busted up and the seat cover is ripped and the tank is dented up and rusty on the inside.... value falls fast.

[@erichiles9568]

Wow I have differant fenders on mine I'll have to find you on messenger send you some pics.

[@erichiles9568]

I would like to have a 250ri would trade for one.

[@t.s.racing]

Ya'll can laugh but 1 of them fractured my ankle while lead technician at the local Honda dealership. Think it was the 250R ? Nope, that frigging 200X. Starting it, not riding it. T.S. RACING
