Best find ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[250Eddie]

OK so i was looking thru craigslist and someone posted up a honda 200es big red for 180 bucks, as soon as i saw that I called them and spoke to the lady selling the bike ( Best thing ive ever done ), i ran and told my old man and he took off over there about 45 minutes away from my house and bought it, he just now got home with the bike and i was shocked when i saw it, the bike is insanely clean, what shocked me the most was the fact that it has 25x13x9 original wooly boogers that STILL hold air and have no cracks and NO dry rotting on the tires the wheels have a little bit of rust but i dont really care about them, the fenders are very nice one side has a big crack on it but thats ok becuz i can fix that quick, it still has the original pull starter and rope and it works very good, the only bad problem with the bike is i need to put another carb and throttle cable on it which is fine becuz i have an NOS one here next to me :lol: also needs a new battery which aint hard to get, but other then that everything is nice on it here are the Pics lemme know what u think about it , Now remember i paid ONLY 180 bucks for it.

Looks like a sweet find. The price is right too :naughty:

[MudHogz]

wow thats a steal!

[250Eddie]

When i told my old man about it hes like , We dont need another bike i told him YES we do lol for 180 bucks running were not gonna find something like that ever again lol.

[matt86200x]

The 200es is my favourite model, definitely a great find

[dirtwheels]

Nice find for that price. Best of luck with it. Looks like you'll need a spark plug wire and some fuel...lol

[250Eddie]

yup i might have a few sitting in the shed if not i can always go to discount to get one.

200es' are the most hardy trike ever built. My 250es is alot more comfortable, its bigger, and its easier and more convieniant to operate, but it WILL NOT take the abuse and strain that my 200 will, my 200 also pulls alot better.

How I see it is simple, the 250es was not made to be a pure worker, but be able to go anywhere, and be able to handle most situations.

Whereas the 200es was made for working in particular, no rear suspension, barley any front, tougher built, it sucks bawls having to ride rough trails, but its more manuverable than the 250 as well, it also takes a ton more to overheat it, and it is a good bit easier to work on, minus the lifting rear fenders the 250 has.


It won't dissapoint you, thats for sure.

Seen that one this morning also and was thinking hard about it LOL . Glade you got it and it looks better than his pics showed .

[250Eddie]

I'm working on it right now, I got the carb cleaned up and now I gotta see y it's not getting power might be a short

[1984 honda 200s]

nice score i got a 84 trx200 QUAD, same engine and one of the first atvs made also shaft driven. them engines are awsome. but i wouldnt say your tires are original, originals are knobbies all around. heck i got them duros just like yours on my trx and 200s LOL

[250Eddie]

Idk but it's weird becuz both of my big reds came with wooly boogers same sizes and everything just one of the sets were done for these are really good

[250Eddie]

ok so i just finished for tonight, i got it to start and gotta adjust the carb tomorrow, also i changed the thumb throttle to the same one thats on the 250sx and big reds i like those more then the old crappy ones.
Now tomorrow after i finish it i gotta take it out =) and test the power on it.

[1984 honda 200s]

possibly the seller put new tires on to sell it? she aint made for speed shes made for hauling lol

[biggyb12]

yeah definately not original tires but much better than stock and for that price who cares anyways

[250Eddie]

well it looks like they used to take it thru mud and stuff but they cleaned the bike from top to bottom afterwards, but anyways im still happy with it, i got it started last night and i noticed last night that the exhaust was done for so im working on making something for it right now, i might have to put a cheap exhaust for now until i find another exhaust here.
