1985 ATC350X Should I?

[Quadhauler]

I have the opportunity to pick up a super clean 1985 ATC 350X for $900. Bike has been ridden around a parking lot 10 times in the last 15 years and that's about it. It has Renthal bars and a rear ice chest rack but other than that it's all original. Fenders and everything else look brand spankin new. Is it worth it? What is a pristine 350X worth these days?

A pristine 350x is worth a good 1500 to 2000 in that good of condition. Sounds like a good deal! Pick it up! Any pictures to base this off of?

Hell yes i's a good deal. I paid the same thing for mine about four years ago. Difinately worth the money.

[ATC-Eric]

Pick it up! Thats an awesome price if the condition is what you say it is. How does it run?

Go get that sucker!

[ceaserthethird]

Got the rear bumper (not the grab bar, the bumper thats torn off most of them), a big plus, and a couple other goodies like that headlight grill. Needs fork seals.

In conclusion:



:Bounce Quit sitting in front of your computer!!!! GO GET IT! :Bounce

[firefirefire90]

Looks good! All it looks like it needs is a new set of fork boots and your good!

[seadoo650]

Also if you get it check with the Mosh's about a new seat. Nice.

I would pay $900 for that in a hot minute.

[tyman]

i'd pay 900 for it... worth every penny if it doesn't smoke...

[Dammit!]

If you posted this and it was in Phoenix, I'd have it in the back of my truck while you were thinking about it. ;)

[Quadhauler]

OK, seems like $900 is a fair price then! It's a friend of mine and he is insisting on changing the oil before he delivers it. :beer I feel pretty good about the deal after all of your input! Been a loooooooong time since I did the ATC thing and we happen to be putting the finishing touches on an ATC500R that's been in mothballs since the late 80's. :Bounce Last time a swung a leg over an ATC I was racing the likes of Jimmy White, Dean Sundahl and Curtis Sparks...Yeah I am gettin old!

[Dammit!]

I don't suppose that 500R is one of the Honda prototypes is it?

[Quadhauler]

No, we built it ourselves with a little help from our buddies over at JR Racing who were formerely known as Dirt Werkes. At the time they were building National Championship dominating Honda Odyssey's. Well they really had nothing to do with an Odyssey other than racing in that class. They were complete ground up customs powered by CR500 barreled FI engines. One of their cars was in one of the first Dirt Wheels magazines too... Sucker used to lift the front wheels off the pavement for some sweet 30-40 foot power wheelies...

Thinking about just keeping it as a collectable and just duning it lightly... Seems like it's really clean and really close to all original and I even happen to have a set of real nice ohtsu stock tires off of an 85 250R. Other than that, I'll keep an eye out for a stock grab bar and all the original stickers seem to be being reproduced. Seems like a clean 350X or 250R will be a real nice collectable someday. My buddy has a near new 86 250R sittin in his garage since 86! We pretty much went back to bikes after the 3 wheeler craze because a lot of the guy's who were pretty mediocre on 3 wheelers were competing with us on quads. Seemed like anybody could go fast on a quad...

Tell me about it, I rode a friends new 350X back in the day and had to buy him a new grab bar and rear bumper piece :cry:

you know what word is implied and i wish i had friends like yours.

I know this a old thread but this bike has been on craigs list for AGES now. Four months to be exact. And the guy is asking 1900 FIRM. Witch is pretty dang crazy for a bike in that kind of wear and tear on it.

[pantera1975]

It would be on craigs list In WI for that price if Its been crashed and stored outside for 10 years! Nice find.
