The redesigned 19 ATC200X came with a 6-speed transmission instead of a 5-speed and as I mentioned, a square tube frame along with a few other ways to tell them apart, for you car-spotters. The plastics, seats, cables, and other components are all in great condition. The seller says that they were in longterm storage but they don’t say how long that was. They’re such a delicate looking machine, you’d think that they would just fold in half on the first bump, but they’re rock solid.

The four-stroke engines were just under 200cc and they’re just a great all-around ATV. The ATC200X was redesigned for its last two years, 19, with all square tubing for the frame. They’re widely known as great drifting machines for experienced riders, but they aren’t as hot as, say, a Honda ATC250R which was a two-stroke screamer. With no odometer or really any gauges at all, it’s impossible to tell how many miles are on these two ATC200Xs, but they look like they haven’t been ridden too hard over the decades. I’m a big proponent of buying a first or last year vehicle if you think that it may have some collector value and is in collector condition, which these beautifully-preserved Hondas appear to be in. The Honda ATC200X was made between 19 so this is the last year for this model. Are they really that dangerous? The early ATVs were inherently more dangerous because of the big, balloon-like wheels and the bounce factor but these later ATVs may not be as bad as some focus groups make them out to be.

With three-wheel ATVs, it’s about broken necks and other bodily injuries and deaths. Deloreans always come back to “flux capacitor” just as Pintos always come down to rear crash fires. A show of hands for those of you who lived through the Lawn Darts era? Many people think that three-wheel ATVs were and still are dangerous but these 1987 Honda ATC200X three-wheelers look innocent enough, don’t they? They can be found here on eBay in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona and the current bid price is $6,100 for both of these preserved gems.Ĭertain vehicles hit key hot spots with readers as I’ve mentioned in the past. I sort of miss the days when people could buy things that were considered somewhat dangerous but were still in stores and showrooms. There are many dangerous things in this world.
