Anyone have like a complete line up of totally mint trikes from Honda for the year...oh say...1985? Would seem to be the most popular year to have if you could since that was fantastic year with the Big Red and the 250R both being beasts. Not to mention the 350x and the 250sx. I'm considering doing this, basically because I'm getting full on crazy with this ATC kick lol. Right now I have the 85 BR of course and the 86 BR, but I have my eye on both a 350x and a 250sx locally. I'm sure others would say that the 87 trikes would be the sweetest to have a complete line up since they are harder to come by, but the 85 year would be easier to snatch up. Possibly a silly topic, but aren't we all completely nuts for riding these damn death traps?

My neighbors think so... :crazy:

Im working on having an atc 110 and 125 from every year. Im close with the 125's as I have an 84, 85 and an 87 but with the 110's I need an 80, 81 and an 83 to complete them

There are two or three individuals on here that are slowly building up museums/ show rooms of many if not all years of three wheelers. I'll see if i can dig them up.

There is a dealership "kearney powersport" (i think) that has next to mint condition if not better.

I had seen the Kearney guy's stash. He's got a very nice collection, and they all appear to be near mint or better for sure.

I'm trying also trying to find a decent 87 Big Red to either restore or perhaps purchase and just....admire. I could at least have every year of the 250ES (at least the American set...1988 in the UK?) Since I have never seen an 87 in person around here I where I'm located, I have a feeling I may never find "the one".

My neighbor supposedly has one, but there is a gnarly family dispute involving it's whereabouts so i dont know if I will get a shot at it either lol

Both of my 85 SXs were mint, and have near every hondaline part you could buy......But I ride them. They are stunning all washed and shined.......But put through the paces in the woods also. Im thinking my next will be to sell my 62 vw and get a couple clean liquid Rs...........Gettin itchy fer a 2 stroke.

A little tangential to the topic I created, but I finally found a photo of my 85 that started it all. I don't think I have any pics of me beside it back then, but that's my parents yard lol. It's a pic of a pic, so not the best example, but I took damn good care of my BR even at that age. I still don't understand why my parents sold it. But I remember the price....$850. Would kill for either a time machine or to find another Big Red in THAT shape for THAT price.
