*** new addition to the collection ***

[bkvette3]

Hello all,

Picked up this mint one owner '84 Honda atc200es yesterday. They are still out there. 2 1/2 hour drive each way. Appears to be all original except the new tires and new battery. Inside of gas tank - virgin clean. Missing the "Big Red" & "200" decals on the side fenders. I am sure I have Honda NOS decals somewhere in my parts bin. Starts, runs and idles very nice. Time permitting - might take it a for a little cruise today.

Holy smokes, that's nice! I'd love to see your collection some day. I plan on hitting a car show in 'toon' town in the not so distant future.

Thanks - told my wife I wanted to put it on display in the living room - she rolled her eyes and walked away and muttered "idiot". It is stored with the other 5 ATCs' in the garage.


Cheers.

That’s funny. My wife would have added “I hope your new girlfriend is dumb enough to let you.”

Very nice '84. Would look great with a set of original Dunlops but they are hard/impossible to find now

this bike didn't come stock with dunlops it came stock with ohtsu tires.

The "welcome mat" is always at the front door along with a cold adult beverage in the fridge.

Thought 84 big red came with dunlops? 110, 125m, 200s, 200m had ohtsu with the little chevron pattern..

[86125m]

Nope ohtsus came stock on all the three-wheelers except some of the 250r models.

For 84 you mean? Could have sworn Big Reds ran dunlops, including the 85+ 250.

only info found was this is from an 82 or 83 200E: 254671

[86125m]

The 250 big red all ran 501 ohtsus and the 84 big red ran ohtsu knobbies. Apparently the 82 200e had dunlops as an option but ive never seen one with the dunlops. But I dont want to jack this guys thread about his amazing find to have an argument about what tires came stock on bikes that are 30 years old.

Looked at my 1984 atc200es sales brochure - was not able to make out the brand of tire shown in the pictures.

Don't worry about jacking this thread. Love this kind of stuff. Love originality. My 250R & 350X still have the original date coded tires. '85 250R - Dunlop KT 576 on the front, KT577A on the rear. '86 350x - Ohtsu P/V 100 on the front with Ohtsu P/V 701 on the rear.

My '83 185s also has the original Ohtsu Pro AMs' on all 3 corners. Would love to know what brand of tires originally came on the '84 Big Red. Unfortunately I am missing the tire information decal on the side of the fender on my '84 Big Red (like the one shown in 200Maniac's pic above). Thanks everyone for your input/opinions - much appreciated.

[200Maniac]

No argument - just trying to clarify for a bit of fun.

Always thought the big red zig zaggy tires were some kind of dunlops.

Assumed the 85+ tires were too, but looks like are the ohtsu 501s ..

[bkvette3]

Hello all.

Just borrowed these pics from the "old interweb". If you look closely at the front tire - by the "muddy tread" section - I think it says "Dunlop". Original?? Although I can't make out the "tire decal" info on the side fender.

Maybe I was thinking of the Big Red Neverland Rancher Edition..

[200Maniac]

Is it possible Canadian big reds came with the dunlop, but option in the states?

Where I grew up, during the prime trike years, anything outside of Big Reds/200e/200m was rare... The odd 200s, 110, 70 and gasp.. a 250r.. once. Tri-motos were fairly popular tho... and most people seemed to call everything, even the yellow ones, "Big Reds"...

Anyways, seemed like all the (real) Big Reds had that zig zag tire. Whether it was Dunlop, not sure, but I thought it was.

[86125m]

After some more research it looks like dunlop and ohtsu made the same tire for honda however while it was possible to get the dunlops on some models it was far more common to get the ohtsu version of the tire.

Oops, on second read, tires are no good.. rims are mint.

[floydechoes2000]

My 1984 definitely came with Dunlops just like the pics from the "old interwebs" posted above. Very nice find btw! I have the same front Kenda tire on mine now that you have and I think it's awesome.
