kick back up start seems out of the ordinary for a honda utility

What do yo mean? All Big Reds and SX's have kick start as a backup. How else would you crank it if the battery died.

Question about the tires.
Here in Canada the 1985 250es came stock with the same type of tires shown on this 87. The tires were totaly useless. In 86 they changed the rear tires and made a BIG improvement.
Did Honda go back to the old style tires on the 87`s to get rid of surplus stock????
Or did they not change them at all in the USA????
Just curious.

Actually the 82 thru 84 Big Reds have a pullstarter backup. Only the 85 and newer BigReds have the kickstarter backup. ;)

I think that is the cleanest one I have ever seen. Its like it has been in a glass bubble all these years. Did you see the bidding is at $2375 with still 5 days to go. That is some cash for that thing but your buying a real piece of history.

I wonder how many more 3 wheelers are out there in that condition just waiting to be admired again.

Yeah it is in amazing shape. The guy that's selling it lives about 15 min. from where I live....I might go look at it just to be nosey!

Hmmm...Looks like it was cancelled sometime near the end. Either he really did sell it locally or he just wanted to see what he could possibly get for it.
