If it has High/low range it should be a 200e. If not sounds like a 200m.

possibly a 200S with options. If all gears are up, it is an S

I agree with whiteman. Out of those 3, the 200s is the only one without electic start, so it is most likely a Big Red or 200m. Get the VIN off the neck and and go to http://atcvin.webs.com

With electric and recoil start, sounds like a E. Definitely an E if it has the "Hi Lo" gear shifter beside the recoil start. Like others said above...go to the VIN verification link.

thanks I will have to ask him if it has high/low range.

possibly a 200S with options. If all gears are up, it is an S

Not necessarily, The 85 200m has gears up, same as mine,

if you decode it this may help
atc200 1981-83
atc200e 82-83
atc200es 84 reverse
atc200s 84-86 no reverse
atc200m 84-85 Good luck....

he said that he thinks that it is a 83 or 84 model so that kinda narrows it down. thanks guys!

Its not a 200s unless it has a aftermarket starter. Most likely a 200m. 200m has no reverse or hi/low gears but does have electric start. 200e has hi/low and reverse if I am not mistaken.

also if it has front and rear racks it is most likey and E I have an 85 200m the biggest tell tale is the high low range selector. Electric start was only on the M and E models. The M had electric start but no racks or hitch from the factory. The M and Ehad bigger tires and wheels than the S model and if i am not mistaken is overall just a big larger then the S. S models are sought after for the fact they seem to be the fastest of the no rear suspension models. All good bikes all had a recoil start. if it does have a front rack another easy way to tell is the mounts for the front rack on the E model were built into the forks the front rack for an M has brackets to mount it.

this trike has a rear rack and a hitch I think and no suspension.

[rdlsz24]

No suspension at all?? Then it is older than an 83, and it's none of the trikes discussed in this thread.
