My Brand NEW 1987 ATC 200x (time to share)

[Orangecnty250r]

Well its time...Sorry Ive been holding out. I've had this since late last year.
A brand New 1987 ATC 200x (for the highly critical we can call it a demo) because it was started and taken up the road one day by the previous owner.

The story ...A man bought it in 1987 got it home and started hearing the reports on the news about ATC's being dangerous and the sale of them being pulled. He parked it and covered it indoors. Sat for 19 years. He passed away. His wife overheard two contractors talking about three wheelers she showed them and one of them bought it...Then I bought it off that person.

Everything is perfect...no chips in the paint, no scuffs on the cases...just perfect. Had to wipe some oxidation off some parts other than that PERFECT

Although I love the hunt for parts its a releif to have a machine that everything is NOS quality and I dont have to break it down

Enjoy the pics of a true Rare machine....87 200x 's are rare in any condition so this is a huge asset to my collection

[ClayW]

Now all you need is a 1987 125,1987 250 Bigred,1987 350X,1987 250R,1987 250SX.Then you will be golden.
Do you do any restorations at all?or do you just buy them in new condition all the time?

I would love to see you collection.

Awesome find - makes me green.

[smokinp]

Yeah, when do the tours start?:beer

[crd00]

Thats one nice bike, do ya have ne mods on it?

[Dammit!]

I would very seriously consider making a calender when you finish all those. With a good digital camera and some practice (there are tutorials on the net) you could get enough great images yourself and just have them printed up. Hell, if you have any reward mileage coming, fly me out there and I'll do it. :lol:

[Hornetpowerspor]

All I can say is WOW! I am glad to see someone like you getting it. I would hate to see a classic in that condition, all original, taken out riding or worse yet parted out! Great find!

[Darius1502]

OC,

Is a shining example of why kids should stay in school and work hard. If you love trikes, bikes, cars whatever....unless you sign a contract with a sports team...your best shot is to work hard and get an education. From there either move up in a company or shoot...just start your own business and work your tail off. I don't think there is any greater gratification in life.

Delayed gratification works!

Hey OC....whats your next acquisition going to be? More specfically, what are you looking for next?

[peeweesp]

damn, looks awsome if only my 87 200x looked that good lol

[Somekindofjerk]

Holly hell, very v4ery very nice my friend! Great pickup and looks absolutelly gorgeouse!

[200x Basket]

so is that the one you have listed on ebay?

[patblkwell]

OK, why are you selling this rare gem??

[3Razors]

I think he has two and listing the one that is not as nice?

[Orangecnty250r]

so is that the one you have listed on ebay?

Nope this is not the one on ebay :D This one is not for sale...ever

[kloby]

Nope this is not the one on ebay :D This one is not for sale...ever

Jason T

Yeh Yeh.....just because you got my 350x....the 200x isn't going anywhere not at any price:D :D :D :D it's nearly as good as OC 87x????

[3Razors]

I wouldnt sell it either. But I know im not being realistic but what if someone offered a legitamet $500,000 for that 200X? If that wasn't enough how about $1 mil? Money does things to people.

[Jason T]

Sorry Pete, its no where near as good, so you should sell me yours so you can continue the hunt for a better one!!!

[xman23]

[Infinity Cycle Supply LLC.]

He really has me upset!!!! How can you post that trike??? You know I just bought my 87 and you gotta make me cry. Mine is out to vintage, after I sell my house and pay for everything and live in a cardboard box I might be able to have one as nice as yours. But most irritating to me, I know no matter how nice and how much money I put into mine, it still is painted. Still not oem....... You got me, heck you got the world brother.... Totally nice trike, never seen one nicer. I really respect you andwhat you do.. You have a great wonderfull trike family!

Hey Range rover. not trying to be a dick or wise ass but I must ask... What is with all the wierd letters and stuff you put into the title of your posts. I'm just curiuos cause it makes no sense to me. thanks

[Darius1502]

Rangerover,

PM me what Mike charges for one of those restorations. I am curious (if you don't mind of course).

Lastly, I don't think I am selling the R for quite some time.

Can't wait to see your X. Let me tell you OEM, painted or not....any clean nice trike is worth it.

I had the NOS fetish for awhile there with the R.

[Darius1502]

wow...I forgot about this 200X

[ezmoney1979]

wow...I forgot about this 200X
Yeah, it's an amazing survivor. I would love to own a second gen 200X.

Nothing like a good 8 year old thread.

[6speedthumper]

I'm in love! Glad you got that bike because if you hadn't I'm sure some a$$ho!e would have parted it out :/

[Fungo Wizard]

Awesome Find!!! That truly is a beauty and thank God that didn't get into the hands of someone that doesn't know what he has!!

[ezmoney1979]

Nothing like a good 8 year old thread.

Its a great thread about one of the best survivors in existence, not another dime a dozen first gen thread.

Thanks for bringing it back from the dead Darius:beer

[honda200x1987]

There is No doubt this 200X should be seen as new , at the factory when they build ATV's even today , they test fire the new quads and put them on dynos and I guess one can say they are used from the start. You can also see the front tire has all the tits on it. I can't get a good look at the foot peg, could be it's blending with the floor and just at a bad angle or someone just sat on it a lot. I think it looks showroom IMO.
Its a super nice trike, one of the nicest ive ever seen!

But thread really isn't that great lol..... ten or twelve pics. Is it just me or does the footpeg look a little worn:wondering.....this is not bashing just a legitimate question.

Some call it "NOS", some call it a "demo", but i guess in my world, having oxidation and being driven up the road by a previous owner makes it "used".

But again, possibly the nicest 200x I've ever seen.

[ezmoney1979]

It would be nice to have more background and better pictures. Tires can be replaced. I'm not trying to make it sound like he's making it up, I'd just like more info to go on than "look at my trike, its "perfect".



You had better do your research on this member before you comment any further. Comments like yours can lead some guys to rather not show off their awesome collection. Feel privileged he is willing to show us his collection and keep the history of other rare machines alive.

[honda200x1987]

I totally agree with you ez , OC is a stand up member and I really appreciate all the pictures and info he has shared in the past. DohcBikes, I am sure there is more threads on this and if you google this bike you can get more info I am sure. I drool every time I see those pics of his X .

[DohcBikes]

Yes thank you that does answer my question! O.C. Himself said it was semantics.

For the third time, probably the nicest 200x I've ever seen. Beautiful bike. I'll never own anything that nice. Super jealous.

[sledcrazyinCT]

I haven't made any comments regarding the member or that specific trikes history.

I'm only stating my opinion that once a bike is previously owned, and ridden, it is used, not Brand New. I don't know any other way to see it.

Also, from what I can see, the peg shows wear. I could be wrong, but that's what I see. Whether it be from sitting on it, or riding it, it looks like wear.

The only way I can describe this machine is nice original or true survivor

[JasonB]

Man you have the clean mint bikes! That 200x is friggin sweet!

[honda atc guy]

WOW!! Just WOW!! What an incredible score!

[Turbotalon]

That things pristine. Puts my 85 to shame and i thought mine was clean when i got it
