Very cool! I am a trike fan as well, when I was a brat kid I had a ATC185s that I loved and started with. Later my Dad purchased a pile of parts that was an ATC110 at one time and I slowly fixed it back to great running order. I loved riding that with the high low range. Later back in 1985/86, I had the good fortune of buying an ATC350X from a guys wife, that was selling it out from under her husbands nose so he did not kill himself on it! The trike was hardly used, like new, and came with an extra new set of wheels and tires. I got that for a steal, If I remember $500 USD. This was in Miami, and then I shipped it back to Jamaica where I licensed it and rode it on the streets!
That was fun, these things are tippy even with out the extra traction of the street!

Thanks for bringing back some great memories!

This is what the 350X looked like!

Nice. When I was 18 I had a Tri-Z 250 which was Yamaha's answer to the Honda ATC 250R. It's long gone. I still have my Odyssey and my dirt bikes.

Here I am on my CR 250


Here is shodog Jr. on his CR80


And in the Odyssey

I always drooled over the ACT250 R and the Mojave 250

I always wanted an Odyssey. The early ones used the cr250 engine I think? I have never had a chance to drive one, I bet they are a blast!

The ATC185s I had, was the older one with out the front forks!

Odyssey was 250 then 350 then it turned to a real dream machine the Pilot, 400cc liquid cooled 2stroke..
How great was that atc185?? The older one with out the front forks is the one 3 wheeler they should still make today.. that thing could be put to work and just fast enough to have fun without getting killed

i always wanted 2 atc250rs..the 1986 to keep all stock and the aircooled 84 with hondas 300 kit .. Mojave 250s were cool .. the dohc liquid cooled motor was nice with intake mods, jetting ,and full exhaust.. the old smaller cc atvs were so much fun..

The last year (86?) 250r was mean looking. But that air cooled one was all business, looked like it would take on anything!!

I had an ATC 110, mid-80's year-model, I don't remember exactly what year, but it was BLUE. I think they only made the blue ones for a couple years, as most Honda ATC's were Red... Anyhow, I was trying to powerslide along the top edge of a concrete ditch at the back of our neighborhood... I got too close to the edge... and... like slow motion... I couldn't pull it back off the edge... me and the machine went tumbling down into the ditch!
Busted up the bodywork (fenders cracked), bent the handlebars, etc. I had a few scrapes and bruises myself, but my friends thought I was dead when they saw me disappear off the egde of the ditch. Good times.

Looked kinda like this:
