Look what we have found! cant be many of these over here especially in this condition.

Can anyone see any parts that arent original for an 82 R. (Apart from the rack)

The front rim does not appear to be gold like the rear rims.

ya the front rim doesnt look like its stock, the rack makes it look so freaking ugly why would someone put that one a sport atc. And is it me or does that pictures just make the back tires look like they are huge tires.

I think the tires look big because they are overinflated

Its not a test, just wondering really as I have never seen one before. Never thought we would ever find a early 250r over here especially in such original condition.

The bloke who owns it at the moment had the rack fitted to carry feed for pheasants.
We found out about it because it was at our old honda dealer and the owner had asked for it to be made slower and quieter!! as it was frightening him and the birds he was feeding.

We are in the process of doing a swap with a bike which was made for carry sacks of grain around a field.

Only need an early ATC90, an 86r, 250SX and a 350X for the collection to be complete.

Reflectors were standard equipment on ATCs...except those sold in the states. Very common to see them in Canada...

Don't worry we are rescuing it from a lifetime of puttering about and will be putting it to good use. Problem is our 200x wont stand a chance of keeping up!
