what is your dream trike?

[250sx]

let me know if I missed yours ;)

[ROPE187]

I would love to get a Tiger!!! ROPE187

[hrc200x]

I voted for Tiger too, mainly because they were made in MN and thats my home state. I've actually been to the city where they were made. And the fact that the 500 Tiger could do 81 mph with 16/36 gearing kind of appeals to me too. I guess it could pull those gears easy. But I bet the 40mm carb really sucked the gas.

[Xrider]

I picked the 350X, because I already have one and know it's a great bike and how it performs is really good, couldn't ask for any better of a bike, If I could have me a new one i'd be in business.

[Stan MaN]

Well I'd say that a ATC 500R is my dream trike, but since they diden't make those at the factory :mad: I'd have to say a Yamaha YTZ250

[250sx]

wow, none for the ATC250r

oh look! The 250SX fans have come out of the closet!!! :D:D:D:D:D

[Xrider]

My My, for only having 12 registered members we have a lot of 250SX lovers.lol:)

[turbo]

gotta go with the tecate, cuz well, i havent found a machine that will beat my old one yet. i know i know living in the past, but soon i hope it will be mine again.:rolleyes:

[YTZ250N]

For me nothing tops the Tri-Z 250. And BTW thats what I have! :D

[250sx]

The SX is holding its own against some stiff competition. :D:D:D:D

I'll be glad if I ever get one of my tri-zs running so I can compare it to my T3 and 350x.

[Paul]

One those prototype ATC500Rs Honda made back in '86

[Tri-z fan]

If they made a Tri-z with a Banshee engine stuffed into it that would be the soooo great! Just love them 2 strokes!!

[Stan MaN]

Never seen one of those? I'd love to ride one if they did make them! Two strokes have emmense power, but a shallow powerband.

[Fuzzy]

Dan you wouldnt be stuffing the old ballot box there would you? LOL:eek:

[mudduckie14843]

MY NEXT PROJECT IS TO BUILD A ROAD LEGAL TRIKE WITH MINIMAL MODS CROTCH ROCKET MOTOR AT LEAST 1000CC

[Woodo68]

I want to find an 86 250R still in the box. I'm sure somebody has one or two in a garage somewhere.

[The Terminator]

Good poll. Fortunately, at this time in my life, this is one dream that I can actually afford, when I get the desire to do it. Some of my other dreams, like a Purdy double rifle, (about 25,000 on the cheap) or a perfect 1978 Bandit edition Trans Am, or a 70 Dodge Charger, may have to wait just a little bit. - Ted

[dads]

This is my dream trike but I can't find parts for it. :cry: I think it's a early SX : http://adam.cheshire.net/~dads/pic/hehe.JPG :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :demon:

[ChrisPerkins250r]

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
dan... why no 200x on the poll?? :rolleyes: i love the 200x

[Black Sheep]

Aluminum framed, upsidedown forks,liquid cooled ATC 650X. which is by the way my next project after i finish my ATC400X & ATC 500R

[$"|"I|\|G|2@?]

[Triken]

I sold a 1981 250r needed piston that is all.... A 1984-5 Susuki ALT 185 looked and ran good and a 1985 250 SX <---- got for 300 bucks mint!! Only thing was batery box was rotted out....... All sold about 4 years ago for 1000.00 to pay for me to move from florida BAH!!!!! BAH!!!!! BAH!!!!!!! And now i see that everyone likes the 250sx gah i thought it looked kinda funny when i had it with that weird swing arm / sharft drive and rear rack setup hrrmmmm i guess i am he weird one........:doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:

[Technogeek]

dan what about big red??:D :confused: and just for fun super red??!!! which many members have said they would really want one if the could find one, and i got one!!:headbang: rock on!

[MXC495]

I had to vote for the 250SX- my dream trike would be a 250SX with a clutch set-up. Maybe someday I'll get the ambition to try to make one from an XR work:p I don't think it will be just a bolt on swap though.

[YamaChuck]

After having read through all these posts I am disappointed that nobody mentioned the 225DX or DR. Besides the Tri-Z it was Yamaha's top of the line trike and I don't think it is given the respect that it deserves. Not even a mention of it in most of these polls. When you put a 250SX in a poll such as this then the DX/DR should be right in there with it. Practically identical in features. Both have full suspension, auto clutch, electric start and the DR has reverse. Also the DX/DR has a rear(enclosed) disc brake instead of the SX's drum. Both the Honda and Yamaha are built for the utility/sport rider and both are very fine machines. As "Rodney" would say, "can't a guy get a little respect aroung here?":shrug:

[250sx]

happy now? :D

[YamaChuck]

Dan you are the man!:hail:

[Nick99Banshee]

:hail: TRI Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[atc200honda]

what about the tri moto 175 yamaha
a very great weelie machine
come on
i got a set of forks that have a suspension on them but no rear:shrug: :booty: :yup: :nono: :shocked:

[atc4ever]

My dream ride is a completely stock 86 250r? i dont know why it is just what i have always wanted.

I'll let the poll results speak for themselves...250sx owners are the vast silent majority. :D :2finger:

p.s.- I've got some woods near the house I'll race anyone on with my 250SX :demon:

[Woodo68]

Wow the R's are catching up. For this race in the woods, would I have to ride a wheelie the whole time to make it equal?

Woodo

[Ahickey]

HA!!! It's really funny that the Suzuki ALT can really only be described as an "Insane Marsh Animal" .... hehe, some kind of rabid weasel or something! Rock n' roll.

[250sx]

sorry you R owners, but I had to call in all the SX faithful this morning to show their true colors. :lala: :lala: :lala:

[Ahickey]

What is this? Some kind of Iraqi election??

Adam

[bebeav]

damn, i never thought that the 250sx would be so popular. can i know why a lot of people like this 3 wheelers. i got one and i really like it but like i said before i never thought that a lot of people would prefer a 250sx than a t3 or a 350x. can those one who vote for the 250sx can give me some reasons of their choice.

i also got a big question : can i make my 250sx manual, i theink that i read something on this, making a 250sx manual?????

sorry for my english, im from quebec, hehehe

ALP

[ATCRYDER]

Yeah its possible but I doubt you coudl do it yourself. Mickey Dunlop offers to make a Yamaha Wolverine 4x4 manual byt you sending the clutch unit to him. It was in dirtwheels.

[250sx]

whenever someone votes on the poll it shows up as a new post like that.

[thebasher]

I have a few 3 wheelers but I have always wanted a 87 200x.

I still want one so if you know someone who has one in really god condition please let me know.

I would also like to own the 87 250R that is on the 87 Honda brochure.

[3 or die]

I went with the 250r. I would not hesitate to put a second morgage on the house if need be to get my hands on one of those white 87 250r's that I have only herd about.:hail:

[buddy68]

I almost voted for the 250R, but I had to go with the X. Always wanted one of those.

[Troll]

I voted for the 350x back when the poll was first out. Now I have two. :shrug:

[whiteman350x]

I have my dream trike, Cagiva 200. (Now if I could just find parts for it, lol.)

[mudduckie14843]

you missed mine by a longshot...
A 1200 honda shaft street bike motor on a 250r roller.

only one catch lockable/unlockable diff. and totally street legal!!!

[madmax]

Well I voted for the 250SX, I have one and I think its hard to beat.

Someone wanted to know some reasons why its so popular...five reasons, 1. its electric start (no pulling), 2. shaft drive, (no chain), 3. reverse (no gettin off and dragging), 4. full suspension (no butt rash/back aches) now if it sounds like this could be an endorsement for the 225DX its not because... 5. Its a 4 stroke HONDA and IMHO they are just the best thing out there for reliability.

P.S. My REAL dream trike is a 350X with a auto clutch, electric starter, reverse and shaft drive... dream on eh!

[1bad350x]

A friend of mine had an 87 250r. JUST3 and I told'im ifn he ever sold it give us a call. He peddled it for 1800.00 an didnt say a word. It was cherry. I'd a loved to've had it. But, my 350X is plenty for me and I'd hafta say, it's my dream trike.

[wild200x]

i just got a 250 sx but i voted for 250 r. but i'm realy thinking of a 350 x. :doh: i cant decided. :doh: what will i buy????? maybe a tri-z??? :doh:

[250sx]

looks like the SX didn't need that much of a bump after all. :D

[mywifeknowseverythin]

I am going with my Tri-Z's... However, the R is a close 2nd.. Ive owned them both and lean toward the Z only because you just dont see to many of them....What the Hell is up with that "87 250R":bs:

[1bad350x]

I'm new to trikes so I may need some help here. Is that a big thing? Noticed by Kasey's smilies you must not believe me? The one I saw looked the same as an 86 but with different stickers on the seat an one or two other things here or there. Any more doubts please PM me with your phone number and I'll ask Kieth to call you an you can hash it out with him. He bought it brand new from the store an got a deal on it since it had to be destoyed after a certain date. Lemme know.

[just3]

i have seen the 87 250r in person i was with 1bad350x and what he says about it is the truth

[250sx]

pictures...

[1bad350x]

I'll check it out tomorrow. Doubt it tho. yeah yeah I know. no pictures, no 87 250r. Didnt mean to get a big debate goin on I just thought it was a cool trike.

[Troll]

I have one.:lala:
http://www.bmi.net/magoos/my87r2.jpg

[thebasher]

Nice, thats the one Im talking about. Looks good on paper but I would like to see it in person.

[1bad350x]

Sorry guys no pics. no vin #. Not even a bill of sale. Kieth has no idea who the guy was that bought it. I knew about it before I got into trikes and didnt realize it was a big deal.:doh: :doh: :doh:
However, next time.....

[ScottZJ]

Soooooooooooooooooo the saga continues. Is there or is there not an 87 250r...that is the questions.......:lmao: :lmao:

[thebasher]

My best guess is that there was at least one. The one in the photo.

But, I have been wrong before

[MHOBEN]

I had an 88 ATC 250r. It was a proto type the built in 86. It was completely black except for the decals. It was actually 294cc two strike. I think they were going to call it the ATC 300r. Sadly I was drinking one day and sold it for $450.00 and a keg of beer. :doh: :doh: :doh:

Turns out to be one of those " if I only new " story's. It was worth it though because the keg was the best I had ever had :lala: :lala: :lala:

[1bad350x]

If the beer was Pabst I'd hafta say bad trade, but, if you got Bud or even coors light, I think you did ok.:lmao:

[deathman53]

my dream trike would be a aluminuim framed atc 250r, 46mm or so forks, aluminuim swingarm, front beadlock rim, beadlock rears, ssd rear shock, double wide pegs w/ kickup, counterbalanced 500 motor, 43" axle.

[thefox]

I voted for the Z just because I think that is one of the coolest looking trikes but if it was something that I was going to ride then I would want an '86 200x (I have yet to ride a 350x:( ).

[mmgtl]

A 350X..... I know were one is but don't have enought money to get it.:cry:

[2manytrikes]

tiger 80.need to add it to my collection.

[dads]

Need I say more......

http://userpages.Cheshire.net/~dads/sx.jpg

[madmax]

I'm with dads on this one :yup:

[Stan MaN]

I origionally voted for the YTZ250 but now since I've gotten a 85' 250R I think I'd change my vote back to honda, but still yet they don't make a ATC 500R from the factory:doh: :bs: :upyours: Guess I'll go with the 250R!!!!!

250R ALL THE WAY

[225DXfreak]

man i didn't think 250sx's are that popular, i've never ridden one so i guess i wouldn't know, but if i could have a stock dream trike it would be an 86 tri-z, and if i could have a dream trike that was modified it would be a 250r with a jet engine

[Troll]

The big cheese cheated and jacked the total vote on the 250sx by about 150 or so :rolleyes:

Thats what I am talkin about.:headbang:

for the time being as it is, I will have to say 350x:thumbsup:

[big red 24]

i voted for old faithful the big red 250 because they look good and they last even better:demon: inever realized the sx was such a popular trike i thought the 250 r would be the hands down winner:thumbsup:

[hondakid200x]

A 250r/500r or tiger would be nice, but I want to build a full on custom jumping trike. Long travel suspension, 300r engine, nice wide axle, etc. etc. How many people would get freaked out seeing someone bomb out 150' on a trike? Haha, its my goal and I plan on doing it at some point in my life.

-Max.

[xcracer160]

i love the 250sx i got one and beat the hell out of it for years an years and it looks and runs just as good as it did the day i got it. lol but it hasnr had brakes since a week or so after i got it lol but i have never gotten stuck exept when i almost drowned on it. but it is the ultimate combination of sport and utility but out her ein pa it;s alot of tight woods and i have actualy smoked a 250rquad in the tight woods.but mabey it was just the rider. but i always wanted a 86-87t3 with a kx500motor or a 250r with a 91=cr500bottom end with the psi608pv cylender i had on my cr and another thgin that woudl be cool is ther eis a company that make sa banshee cases that has dual cr500 cylenders grafted onto it, that ina tri-z woudl be awesoem. or just a xr650motorin a 350x with inverted forks and a longer travel rear with steerign stabelizer.

[bigyellow4x4]

my honda250r seems to me very quick i cant even dream what it like to have 500r under you ?? start getting part in a year or so to make one(in to he a 4 wheeler for the women in my life first) than i can start one:headbang: :headbang:

[jenndnn3]

My dream trike:

Starts on first pull, kick or push of button. AND Never breaks down, a part, flat, or needs maintence. Fast when I need to be, slow other times. I really could care less the make, model, brand.

[xcracer160]

i can have fun on anything!!!!!lol i even rode arupp trisport that was even pretty fun.:headbang:

[mymint87]

The one under my butt....

NICK>>>>>HOOOT:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[ATCnut]

I added the butt option to the poll. I agree that you can have fun on any trike. I rode the 70 all over yesterday, was going to just ride it to the barn to get the sx, but just never made it there. Burned up a half tank of gas in the 70. :lala: :lala: :lala:

[FOUR FIFTY ARE]

i would have to say a 86 tecate 3... brand new still in the crate!!!

[Rex Karz]

When my Z is done it will be my dream trike come true.Other than that an '86 250R,or any thing with a 250 two stroke or bigger works for me.I am partial to two stroke.I am not partial to any brand,just as long as it runs good and looks bas ass.
X:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[madmax]

A dream trike I'd like would be a 200X w/ heavier suspension (or a 350X) with a 400EX engine and a Rekluse semi automatic clutch setup. Then there'd be a fleet of bikini clad babes to service the trike and......

[2XTREME]

I second the babes.I have seemed to forget about that part.Thanks for reminding us.LOL
X:doh:

[BigGreenMachine]

Did I post my dream trike yet? Too many pages to double check so my dream trike would be an 86 Tecate with a new KX450F fourstroke dirtbike motor in it. :thumbsup: That would be hawt!

[Atc200Irv200s]

What the hell man?!!? My favorite is My trike, the go-ole 1983 200.. i love that baby my first trike. it goes any where and isnt that fast. But hey damnit! with out tanks like the 90-70-185S and 200 there would be no 250Rs... Pay respect to the old tanks!! THEY NEED IT!! lol but my next trike which i have been dreaming about--forever lol is a 200x..1986 but if its a 83-84 that works for me to..lol

[NOS_350X]

After owing my banshee for a bit the DREAM bike would have to be a Twin cylinder 500 with drag porting. So it would be like having 2 250r engines side by side.

[Ejam]

Well I have read every post on this pole, and I too wonder why the 250sx is in the lead. I own a 1985 250sx, and like it alot, but I voted for the 350x. The sx is just about bomb pruff. I only have tight woods and trails to ride on, but wish there were more power comin out of the sx.
The other day my sx did impress me, I was riding with my sons, and was getting bored with the little moto track, so I just took off up a long steep hill in the woods. Not thinking of anything but missing the trees. Well I made it up with no problem, and half the way up, I was wheeling and just trying to hold on.

I like the auto clutch and low first gear of the sx. Plus the counter-balanced engine is smooth. But the electric start, reverse and weight arent for me.

That's a rare bird you have there parts where all custom made I'm told. over on 3ww there is a sticky thread where Mike Coe talks quite a bit about the 200r and the custom mods too build it thread titled atc4me

Voted KXT a long time ago. You need a KXT 500 in your pole, mine was damn fast!!

[Dracus124]

was close between a Tiger, ATC350X, and a 500R

I chose the 500R Cuz I rode bog bores like a CR500R and a YZ-490. And the raw power of those things was insane! And I imagine that on a trike = FUN!

I wouldn't mind making my own version of that NIN-Z:headbang:

just lookin at the results, if you want to figure it yourself, just take off 150 from the 250sx. this should get you close to the real results. this is just my "guestimation" though. i dont know the truth...

Sweet video Bill - I like it. Very cool - and professional looking. When is the website going live???????

[biggurn]

I grew up in a Polaris shop, love the things to death, (but I am not polaris or die, i've got Kawasakis, Yamahas, Hondas, and KTMs, but these are my favorite quads/ sleds) I have seen them beat and put through the ringer and come out on top (especially the old two strokes)... It's not there on the poll, but i would love to find an '85 Polaris Scrambler Three Wheeler out west here close that I could pick up. Not much to look at, but polaris stopped production quite literaly the month we signed on as a dealer, sold what they had clear into '86, but we never could get one... so never got to even see one in person. My dad and I still talk about having one around. Some day I figure on finding one and restoring it all the way (already did a '86 Trail Boss about 10 years ago, now its needing it again!)

[ShaneNP123]

for me it would defintiley be an '86 350x, 400ex engine, 250r front end, and a prolink grafted on the rear!

[CanadianRednex]

Mine would be either a 250r, or a new Honda 700xx conversion!

[dennishoddy]

I'd sure like to have my 85 250R back.

[NINJA]

I vote Jason Hall's heavily modded and reinforced 250R. That's almost exactly the setup I want.

[3on3250-R]

Here you go Brother!!! This one Is soo much fun to ride:headbang: :headbang:

[Legbah]

You got me with the Tiger. Fixin to google that.

[staples]

Forgot if I posted here or not. I know I voted,anyway

My dream trike would be a 85 350x,with a built frame powder coated,stock colors,400cc bigbore(10.5:1 compression),cam,exhaust,400ex carb,maybe bigger valves.and prob a few other mods I forgot.

[rickybudz]

23614Pretty much speaks for it self!

[Gearheadtom]

Something like a 250r or 350x would be pretty cool, but I'd be pretty happy with something like a 200m like I have now, hopped up a little, and somehow with reverse. Maybe a 200sx motor jabbed in somehow?

[cattle-dog]

just a all around good bike, i even have a baja 650ds x and i like the honda 250sx more. but if you want severe 4 stroke power ride a baja once

[ElsinoreATC450r]

You should have had a tri-shee on this poll. :thumbsup:

i wanna build one so bad, ive been designing one kinda. but dad says i have to many projects. :bs:

[captinspaulding]

I have to go with a 87 kxt250. I use to have a 88 kxf250 and it was a blast to ride, the trike version would just be awesome.

[ridetrikes250R]

how the HELL is a atc250sx leading the friggin pack?? I leave the site for less then a year and everyone starts using maxi-pads around here..

[painter1]

a factory fresh 350 for me

[edmonster]

i picked 200x


cheap, reliable, easy maintenance, and they are fun as hell to ride!

[Thomas]

Poll is flawed! No TPC 450R option.....:wtf:

Ya, it's a classic isn't it. :D

Personally, mine is a Nicholson 500X but it's not up there too :burnout:

It is now.

[Zac]

87 tecate.... I want one... So so so so so so so so so so so very very very very very very very very very bad!

[Vealmonkey]

Well, I got a 350x, Tiger 250, Tiger 500 and the Ascott 500 top ended 350x is coming along, but I have to say my dream trike is the Nicholson 500 that I recently picked up. It needs alot of work, but I'm slowly hacking away on it. LOL

[Zac]

what is an ascott?

[Vealmonkey]

Honda made 2 different ascott 500 motorcycles. One of them was a v-twin. The other was a single cylinder, but both displaced 500cc if I remember correctly. I never really knew much about the v-twin models. There was an article in an old 3wheeling or dirtwheels magazine about putting an single cylinder ascott 500cc head on a 350x. The single cylinder ascott 500 had 2 intake and 2 exhaust valves. Well, SWIGIN, who normally posts on 3ww started to do the conversion. He had to do alot of mods to fit the ascott head on the 350x cylinder, but the cylinder is all done. I bought the head and some other parts from him, so it will be a stock ascott 500 single cylinder and sleeve in a 350x cylinder with the modded ascott head. The compression will be stock. The cam is a more aggessive roller bearing cam. The exhaust will be custom built. The lower end will be all nos honda parts, but the crank is getting stroked. Top secret mods to the clutch to help it hold better with the additional power, a bunch of other little bits and pieces and all freshly rebuilt. It's going in a very gusseted 350x frame which has a title, it will be getting a Jason Hall inverted front end kit that takes the cr125 forks and it will be getting a +2 or +3 swing arm from HRE. Only need a piston and gaskets for the engine, waiting for Jason Hall kit to arrive and have to get Mike to make my swingarm. Have pretty much all the other parts though. It's coming together. Oh, have to get the frame powdercoated. I hope that explains it better. Just another project. LOL It wouldn't be possible without alot of help from members on here and 3ww though. Thanks for putting up with me everyone! LOL

[RapidRick]

You've got the old school dream bike in the back of that pickup.

[Vealmonkey]

Mine needs alot more work before it's a dream bike. LOL I think my poor ole trike is more of a wannabe right now. At least it's back on 3 wheels and heading in the right direction. As soon as I get that template and that bracket made up, I'll be alot closer to being respectable and correct. Now I just have to find me a running engine.

[250rRoostmaster]

Tpc 500..

[NINJA]

Tpc 500..

That ain't no bull$hit! I can't wait to see this!

[250rRoostmaster]

That ain't no bull$hit! I can't wait to see this!

I would give a nut to have one!! At least strongly consider it!! Hahaha

[hang&rattle]

That ain't no bull$hit! I can't wait to see this!Word! Yeah, this is the next generation of 3-wheelers to love. Bill better get goin' on this. Onnie will be riding this 3-wheeler to carry on trikes well into the future. With the handling and power of the modern world, this will be Tiger 500 or 500r's of the 'New school' riders.

[jadleybray]

Modded ATC 70?

[All X's]

How about a 250es with a 350X engine in it!!!:rolleyes:

[All X's]

For "factory" trikes that exist ,the 86 ATC 350X is by far the best do-it-all Trike ever!

[atc007]

Right now,,a 1980 ATC 185.

[newbie unleashed]

There are a few I would like but when I went to buy another after 20+ years sence the last, I choose an 84' Honda 250r. Not rare or sought after its the last year of the aircooler's so IMHO was the best of them. Then to build it I went with a complete 86' front end for the larger diameter & longer travel forks as well as the heavy'r duty brakes also found a set of "Super scoops" fuel tank scoops. Then picked up an aftermarket +3 Westcoast swingarm for it again for the better suspension with an extended axle. For the moter I found a Hondaline 300r big bore top end with a NOS piston & ring set, Boysen carbon fiber reeds in a mid 90's CR250r 4 pedal cage, 34mm Keihin PE carb off an 85'r & a fl350 intake boot then to finish it off bought a full Bassani exhaust system. I always liked the gold alumunum wheels so have the full set of 3 plus an extra set of rear with paddles. I started the build 18 months ago & took a year before it was rideable & still working on it. Everything mentioned I have but have not yet installed the 300r top end or Bassani exhaust. At the start I went thru both the top & bottom of the 250r motor with the stock 30mm carb & put a DG exhaust on it & thats how it sits now. There are some picks in my kickstart thread:
