What year do you like best...the white (1986) or the red (1985) 350X?

I say the red one.

After looking at both...

The 85 tank is a creme white which sets off the red fenders beautifully. The '86 is more of a bright white. The blue seat on the 85 is brighter too. The whole package looks meaner and more like a Honda to me in red.

I'll have to finish up my '86 and then compare them again...but for now the 85 RED one gets my vote. Its crazy pretty looking!

I like both, but I like the 86 more. I don't know why.

It's a toss up for me but the white does seem to stand out a little more!

Definitely RED! Even if I had an 86 I would put red plastics on it. Honda in my mind is red. Hence the saying " ride red "

My favorite is an 86 with red seat and boots. Saw a pic of one like that online somewhere... that's what my 86 will be when it's done.

Found the picture I saved:

That's a tough choice, I like both and Passion Red is Honda's all time best color but I may have to go with white Since I also have an 87 :naughty:

Ever since I first laid eyes on an '86 200x back in 1991 I have been a fan of the white scheme found on the '86 X's. The red looks very good too, but to me the white is just perfect.

Love the WHITE! It just looks faster and sleeker. I own both red and white, but White is the one I would park in my living room

I always liked the white based, kind of funny, but it reminds me of a red, white, and blue setup like USA colors.

I agree with the Red voters though, Honda should be red in most cases, but the 350x/200x red/white/blue is my fav for a 3 wheeler. Can't stand to hear from the honda dealer that the most common selling color they have is Dark Green!

I would say Honda sells a lot of green 4x4 to hunters etc. The red white and blue just looks like fun to me. Back in the 80's HONDA ATV's were red , Yamaha was yellow and Kawisaki was green but now they all look alike . I really wish HONDA would look back to 1986-88 and make a Anniversary TRX250R with the same look on the plastics ,decals. colors etc.., I'm not going to wish for the 350X because I know it will not happen. :(

Why not a TRX350X and a TRX300R instead :)

White has crushed red....

Once I finish my 86 we will have a centerfold shootout!

More to come :)
