  • This is a story about when the stars align to allow for two cool dudes to work out a deal on 2 of the top model three wheelers Honda made. I was reluctant to pull the trigger on these... but my buddy John, the seller, just wouldn't take no for an answer...
    So they followed me home...
    The end.

    Congrats! Definitely a set of bikes that make any red blooded Gen X smile! Still miss my primo 86 250r and 85 200x. Who didn't love the 350x?
    Glad they made it to your collection! 👍👍

    Wow, those two machines are the ones to have, and they're OEM. It's really getting really hard to find ATC's like that here in Florida that aren't run completely into the ground and asking for top dollar.

Totally understand if you’re not comfortable sharing the exact location, just curious! I dig your riding videos in the ADK’s/Tug Hill, if I find a trike I’d love to ride with you guys!

      @@ericmatthews16 I've gotten 350X's super hot... seen them get even hotter by friends abusing theirs... they are tough MFers! Atv motors (4 stroke) didn't go liquid for like 20 years after the last 350X was made... but I wouldn't worry about a 350X giving you trouble getting too hot. You're good, especially up where we live.
