Hell yeah! I have an 84 ATC 200x that I still ride on occasion. Last time was this winter when we got some snow and I rode that bitch all around the neighborhood at 11:00 pm!

I've had it for over 25 years and done very little to it, new front shocks, new cylinder, rings, head and exhaust pipe. it needs a kick starter seal it is now torn and leaks most of its oil every time it sits. Also needs a new rear brake caliper which I've been limping alog for the last ten years or so

Got a 1984 250R that's my trail bike, buncha 200x parts I have yet to build into anything, and would like to convert a newer 450R over to a 3 wheeler.  :D

The Hondas were pretty indestructible... More so than me.  My old body handles the quads better since about 20 years ago.  I wish my cars lasted as long and took as much abuse as those things.
I still have 3 quads all 20 years old or so, and they all start up every year with no problems and run fine all the way up to 13,000 feet here in the colorado rockies.
When someone is absolutely 100% sure they know exactly what your problem is and how to fix it, it's time to ask someone else!

Nice. What size are your rear tires. Thinking about going smaller

I'm pretty sure those are 20's on 10" wheels, I wouldn't mind actually going down to 18's but you really start dragging the rotor and sprocket at that size.

Just like any machine, they are only dangerous if not respected.

Exactly, theres just a few simple rules when riding a three wheeler
1. Never put your foot down
2. Always use your bodyweight and lean when turning
3. Never forget rule #1

Here is one my young friend bought. It's home made from a Yamaha 550 maxim. The guy he bought it from could never get it running and the guy he bought it from never heard it run. From what we were told it had been over 5 years since anyone could get it started. We checked it out and after a couple days we found a bad connection on a relay that was killing power to the coils. Here is a video of him riding it on my farm.

We didn't get too many people complaining lol, but I finally talked him into selling it.. I was afraid he would kill himself on it. Way too fast for a 3 wheeler.
