Hello all. I just picked up my Honda ATC200? today and wanted to see what model I have.
Here is what I know about it.
The owner said it was a '83 200, but it has a '85 motor. Motor Differences?
It shifts up through the gears by stepping down on the shift pedal.
The motor does have High and Low range on it.
This bike IS equipped with shocks on the front forks, however the previous owner said he swapped these out from another bike and this one originally had hard shocks. The handlebars do have an engine Start button (from the old bike I assume). This front end originally had a rectangular headlight with a C-bracket that held it in place, not the bar bracket like the Big Reds have. Any ideas what kind of bike this front end came off of?
The bike is NOT equipped with electric start, but has what looks like a fake starter on it. It's a starter case with no holes in it for wires to come out and no rotor or stator in the case. It says 6 or 12vdc (I don't remember which) and 0.6Kw on the back of the case. On the back side of it (pointing to the right side of the trike) it has two posts with threaded holes like a bracket mounts to it. I assumed that Honda used this "undeveloped feaux starter" to simply plug the hole where the starter would normally go. Is this correct? Upon removing the fake starter (it just sticks in there and is held with an O-ring...no bolts hold it), I can stick my finger in the hole where it was and feel the small gear that a real starter would actuate.
The exhaust on the bike exits low and in the center of the back.
The rear rack has bars that come down and bolt to the sides of the foot pegs, though the previous owner said he did some customizing on the rack so I'm not sure how it's supposed to be.
That's about all I know about it that I can think of right now. I'll probably run the VIN using the link I found on here tomorrow.
Thanks for any help you guys might be able to provide on identifying the bike and the front end.
