Pros and Cons of the 185s

[vegas250rr]

I am thinking of picking up one for 200, what sould I look for, and what kind of preformance can I expect from it... I have an SX, and an R
thanks for the input

[ATCnut]

I personally would never have another hard tail trike. (except for a 70). I am not young enough to ride one anymore. Compared to your sx or R it will be underpowered, and ride really rough.


That said, they are great putting around units.

[3 weelin geezer]

I love my 185s. Is it running or at least complete? $200 bones for one is good if its running and doesnt smoke like mine did when I got it. Got any pictures?

[3bogger]

i love mine, the hard tail does get you when your ridin all day at the dunes and what not but the damn thing is bullet proof. i would get another one in a heart beat. i think it tops out around 30-35, its not going to rip your arms off in the accel but in the mud and skrewin around in tight woods its great.

[p26575r16]

I have had 2 185's. Very fun trail machines. Sold one to my buddy that is 6'5" tall. He rides that thing anywhere and everywhere. On our last ride together on the 185's we sank them both in a very deep creek (yes they do float, Upside Down). Drained and refilled the fluids, both ran great. They also make great machines as "spare's".

[random-strike]

i have one of the no suspension yamaha 200s they are called yamahaulers.

that thing will go through and over everything it seems.

they are fun in their own right

[Vealmonkey]

185s has no clutch lever, semi automatic. It has 2 clutches in it though. Almost as fast as 200x. They will take 200x piston and cam. You can put 200s front suspension on it. You can sometimes find suspension kits. Easy for the wife or girlfriend or stupid buddy to ride instead of tearing up your more expensive trike!

[sandpuppi101]

If your trying to compare the R and SX to the 185S then your gonna be real disappointed,but the 185s is for sure a nice machine.You can do mods to the machine and get a little more out of it sure but your gain won't even be close to the other machines. I have had 5 or 6 of the 185S's..both non-suspended and suspended " front",and actually love the machine's,but I use them just to cruise on or like mentioned as a spare for somebody else to ride.For the cost of getting it I would'nt think twice about it!!!

[xman23]

they are nice trikes, my buddy has one and we beat the hell out of that thing and it stillkeeps on going, i think it goes over 35 tho

ah you *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**E dited*! I saw that one on the vegas CL yesterday! well not like I need another 185. I kinda like the 185's, they are great for just bombing around trails, and they actually do alright in the dunes if you know what your doing.

I pretty much only rode 185's for years, then once you get something with suspension you get kinda spoiled.

btw, where do you ride vegas? lately I just have been going to apex, mostly because it's right next to my shop and I can just ride my 3wheeler there. Are there any other good spot close to vegas? I have not hit dumont yet, I did a few trails near purump that were pretty decent. And logandale trails were pretty decent.

[MO dx]

Fun little machine. Very reliable but no suspension, my back can barely take my dx `s ride that why I sold my trimoto 200. but to each is there own.

[atctim]

185s are great. What year is it?

They have ample power - not that much less than the 250SX considering the weight difference. I love mine. It is a blast to ride, and as everyone has said - they are bulletproof!

[ATC-Eric]

Get it!!!!!

Would never get rid of mine, the little things are beasts! What I love most about it, is that you can throw it around like a BMX bike.

[RideRed250R]

wish i still had mine, they were great ran forever and never needed anything for two hundee i would get one in a heart beat

[vegas250rr]

well thanks for all the opinions... I go to look at it on saturday morning... I will take some pics even if I dont pick it up!

Ratvespa... I will PM you

[Nick_R_23]

i think it tops out around 30-35

Dude 185's do about 50-55 mph. Between me and 82'185s we have 3 185s and they all do at least 50.

[IrvSLedman]

ehhh I know its just a little 185, but don't be putting them down that much.. I have a 200 and with those huge tires and the proper gearing I have have hit 45.. for sure. so with proper tweaking and messing with I could see a 185s pushing 50-55...

so "the" 185 does not hit 55mph.

a modified one could.

makes sense right

[monstertruckr81]

dosent the 185s have a high and low switch

[Russell 350X]

The 185 does not have a high/low switch. Those are a blast tho....I had one for a while and I regret parting it out....that thing was bulletproof and went through most anything I threw at it. And my 185 did it 45 once on a flat road......I'm sure if you are down hill pushing it hard they'll touch 50. And dont let the lack of suspension turn you away...those things are more fun than most think, sometimes I have more fun on my 200 and big red 200E than my 250R lol. And they do damn good wheelies...and they deffiently do float! Pick it up...you wont regret it.

[82'185s]

id like to see proof honestly...

[82'185s]

if i can find a way to prove it i will

[random-strike]

we all know it wont go 55.

that is faster than 200x and as fast as a stock 350x

[82'185s]

whatever dude i dont need to argue because i know im right so drop it

[random-strike]

whatever dude i dont need to argue because i know im right so drop it

so how fast in a 200x? 60mph?
then a 350x 70mph???
250r 90mph????????????????

[Nick_R_23]

Not to provoke this arguement any further, but yes his 185 will do 57, I am a witness, and if you want further proof Im sure Trooper Adams will be more than happy to clock him again (under law abiding circumstances this time) and I think that a police report should be sufficient proof.

Also with stock gearing and 20" tires, a stock 350x will do about 65-70. And 200x's will top about 60 somewhere in there.

Also a study was done showing the AVERAGE speed of the following trikes:

Tiger 500............................................... ...........................90+mph
Tiger 250............................................... ...........................85+mph

(note Tigers were not production trikes. each Tiger was hand made to original customer specs. this is just a average estimate)

86/87 Tecate 250............................................... ..............85mph
86 ATC 250R.............................................. .......................83mph
85 ATC 250R.............................................. .......................80mph
84/85 Tecate............................................ ........................78mph
86 TRI Z 250............................................... ......................76mph
83/84 ATC 250R.............................................. ..................74mph
85 ATC 350X.............................................. .......................72 mph
85 TRI Z 250............................................... ......................69mph
81/82 ATC 250R.............................................. ..................65mph
86/87 ATC 200X.............................................. ..................62mph
83-85 ATC 200X.............................................. ..................58mph
83 ATC 185s.............................................. ........................55mph
81/82 ATC 200............................................... ...................54mph
79-85 ATC 110............................................... ...................48mph
-(atv connections forum)-

As you can see the 185 has an average top speed of 55mph. I have personally done over 50 mph on my 185, although not quite 57, it also has a worn out engine and everything else on it. If you want to see for yourself I would gladly let you ride my 185 if you were in the area, it really does get up that fast. Whether or not you believe this is not my problem, nor do I really care for that matter, I am just stating what I have done or seen, so If you dont see how this is possible thats fine with me.

-Nick :TrikesOwn

[SWIGIN]

those speeds seem right on

my 200x with 18 inch tires did 50mph witch is 8 less

and my 90 with 18s did 40 witch is 8 less the a 110

both of these were clocked on the road with a car following

[random-strike]

get a video of you doing 50+ on your 185s and i'll believe it.

my 350x would not come close to 72mph. those figures are retarded. there are a bunch of people who have used GPS to show their top speed and they get about 70-72mph on their 250r (from what ive seen)

[atctim]

well not to throw gas into the fire, but the 200S and the 185S have the same gears and are nearly identical trikes. I know for a fact that with stock tires (aired up hard to be biggerin diameter) a 200S will hit 55MPH. I agree with all of the numbers posted above in the chart. Keep in mind, I am speaking about paved roads here. You prolly would not hit those speeds in dirt.

I have geared my R down one tooth in the front and still hit 76 via GPS.... with that tooth back I know 80 isnt a problem. but this wasnt a top speed thread to begin with .... I just wanted to know if the 185 was worth 200 bucks. Thanks for all the information

Fine you buy me a vid cam and a gps and i will be more than happy to prove your ass wrong, but does it really matter that much to you?

[Chevy200s]

the 185s is a great trike, and 200 bucks would be a great deal! Like everyone said they are fun, reliable, and simple to work on. I like trail riding with them, you can fit into a lot of places and go under low tree branches. Pull trailers, ride wheelies, go up sideways on 2 wheels, go mudding, they are great machines. Definilty worth getting if you like it.

As far as top speeds go, its not worth debating a difference withing 10 or 15 miles an hour when a simple sprocket changes everything. If you gear it right you could probably make an atc 90 hit 70mph. haha, make take some big sprockets and an hour to get it there but its possible, its all gearing

Man don't go through all of that trouble for that guy. He just won't admit he's wrong. There has been several replies with more than enough "proof".
My first trike was my best friends 185s back in the '80's and we rode the crap out of that thing. I can also vouch for its durability and speed. Great trikes.

we all know the 185 will not go 57mph and i ask anyone to prove that it will

[Russell 350X]

Sweet Jesus...is it that big of a deal? Your think they are slow as hell, when several people on here even vouch for it to do 55. I just don't get why you keep dragging this on.

[vegas250rr]

alright well here she is... plastics leave something to be desired, it wont start, but the throttle is stuck, SOOOO I assume that the carb just needs a rebuild like he said. the pull start is fine, it goes through all gears fine and all the tires are in good shape. oh and I forgot to mention that I ended up getting it for 160.00 cash with the Ca. title... heres the bad, there is a crack on the intake manifold between the carb and the head, and I have no Idea what forks and triple trees this thing has on it... can someone identify these????

the intake should be a easy find....any 185,200 or 83-85 200x intake should fit

the front end looks like a old after market kit

[3 weelin geezer]

Guys, c'mon. There is no need to argue how fast they will go. You are all wrong. A 185S goes about 15-20 mph. then you have to stop and figger out a way to cross that washed out part of the road. No way they will even go 30. Unless you have someone put a bridge across that mini canyon that forms across the trail just around the corner and next to a patch of cactus. Whoever invented corners, should be run over by a thousand trikes with snow tires!

For $200 bones stop typeing and go get it.
On the other hand, where did you say it was located? I see a 'new' trike in MY future :w00t:

[fixeruper]

I've ridden a neighbors 185/185s (not sure which) and it's got a higher top speed than my trx250 recon which I've clocked at 48mph with GPS. My recon has alot more low end punch, but the 185 will pass me on top end. Those 185's are geared pretty high, and I think lack a little low end in my opinion. They are great bikes none the less, and if anyone wants to sell me one around oregon, hook me up!

[random-strike]

looks like a hell of a deal for $200 :)

[Vealmonkey]

Those triple were sold by many different companies back in the day. The forks themselves are probably from an early honda sl125 or xl125. The front end is the best part, meaning a real aftermarket accessory for the 185s, very cool. You have a good start to a nice trike. Keep your eye out for a better intake manifold and alot of the rubber grommets and with some clean up and some paint, you'll have a really sharp trike. Congrats.

I agree that the forks are a definate upgrade even for the 185S... but my problem with them is that the seals appear to be bad cause there is fork oil everywhere. I need to find what they are so I can replace the seals with the proper part...
Guess its time to start a "ID these forks thread"

Try looking at honda sl125 fork tubes.

[vegas250rr]

Try looking at honda sl125 fork tubes.
I dont believe they are SL forks, these tubes have caps at the bottom of each fork to retain the axel, every picture of the SL forks I have seen have only one clamp and the other side of the axel threads into the opposing fork

hey, if you can pull the seal and get me the size of it in MM I can look it up in my parts unlimited catalog at work and probably find a seal, hopefully the other poster is right and they are xl forks, that would make it easier to get seals and dust boots.

160 bucks! Im jelouse, Cool that it has the stock muffler and intake. although I love the sound of the bassani (makes it sound like a 600 thumper) the stock is nice and quiet and does not attract unwanted attention. Let me dig through my garage and see if I have a intake boot for it.

[ratvespa]

Oh, and let me end the top speed argument, no video camera evidence since there is no way I am holding a video camera on a non suspension trike doing a buck fifty while looking at a GPS.

but anyway, this should be all the proof you need to know a atc185 can do 57. I ran it on my dynojet this morning.

here is my model 38 state of the art atc dyno jet.

Anyway...you can fix the intake with JB weld if you dont find a new one...killer deal for 160$!!

[Rustytinhorn]

The 185 is a good bike to putt around trails on. Its way light, so much that if I get stuck I can push it or lift it without throwing my back. I've personally had my 185 places that 4 wheelers couldn't make it, just because I can float on the snow while the 4's sink.
I tried the 22x11 in front and didn't like it. IMO the trike handles a lot better with 25x12 stock tires all the way around. The stocks give you good grip and suspension if not overinflated.
-Have fun

[vegas250rr]

well thanks to Scott (Ratvespa) I now have a intake that is in good condition.:w00t:
as for the throttle cable that I thought I was gonna need, it CAME with the bike... it was sitting on my front seat under all my tie straps the whole time.... damn I cant believe I forgot about it :crazy:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..Points to ponder.?.?.?.?

That is a 1983 gas tank, and the 83's had front suspension from the factory. What model year is this machine? Was the suspension upgraded? or is this an 81 or 82 185S with a newer gas tank?

the factory didn't have triple clamps on the 185

Vegas,

1983 was the last year for the ATC185S. In 1984 the 200S took it's place. What displacement is stamped onto the side of the engine. If the paperwork says it is a 1985 ATC185S - it is plainy wrong.

Re-read my post - Either the suspension was upgraded from an 83's existing suspension, or it is an older model with an 83 gas tank and a suspesion kit. Sorry if I did not make that clear.:wondering

200's would mean something is the 200's

The 200's tire is flat.

Vegas 250rr, great buy on the 185s. You will love that little trike, it wheelies on command and is surprisingly quick. I won't go into a top speed war, but I ride my trikes to have fun and not to see how fast it will go. Good luck on getting it to run and keep us posted on what you think about it after you ride it. 83 was the last year for the 185s and the only year for the front suspension, all other years had straight forks.

The 20th century is called the 1900s and not the 1900's for a reason.

It looks like he has been eating a little too much chocolate.......That IS chocolate, right? Besides, What difference does it make how fast ANYTHING goes? These were made to get you from point a to point A, thats it. Not how fast you can kill yourself on one.

nice

I think you'll be suprised how much fun you can have on it. i was!

[82'185s]

sweet.
I've beat the crap out of both of mine and I still havent killed them, like everyone says they are "bullet proof".
They are pretty fun little machines, good luck with it

[84honda200s]

i had a 200s (as in one) (close to a 185s) and beat it and beat it till the poor thing broke in two and couldnt weld it anymore. but i still have the heart of it and its going into my auto x. so yea for 160 bucks or more its a great deal.

it took 2 or 3 years of riding threw creeks, hitting huge rocks, going over fallen trees, and allot of mud pits to break that frame. but as people has said they hold up dam good. the engines are pretty solid too. for a 200/185 they hauls butt. i had my my modded 200s (as in one) going about 60 ish according to a chase car. this was on a level paved road.





p.s sorry for digging up an old topic. i had the link sent to me and didnt know it was this old lol.


:lock:

[vegas250rr]

its cool, just to update this thread... I sold the bike almost a month ago and bought a 200X with the money I made from it.... UPGRADE!:w00t:

[84honda200s]

hell yea man nice. how did you like the 185 ?


i upgraded for 2 reasons one being the s frame broke beyond repair and two being my back cant take the hard tails anymore.

[kwbyfrmhell]

i use mine for mudding when the weather is bad I put a big red 2oo front fork on it and 25 inch carlisles all around and a suicide shift on it now it floats and kicks all the 4wd 4 wheelers butts in the pits they can't believe it. and when i lean back and cross streams they stand in awe its the most fun I have ever had on a three wheeler other than my klt 200

[84honda200s]

hell yea man. thats what i use to do with my 200s as well. lean back in the creeks and let her rip.

[vegas250rr]

just wanted a better trail rig... there are alot of rocks in this part of the country. and suspension is nice
