So nice, I hope to find one for sale that perfect up here in MN someday! Thanks for posting, love to see some love go into these beautiful old machines.
if yu interested yu can find shops that will take a new or newer dirt bike and convert it to a trike. or if yu look and search yu can still find original trikes for sale. prices and conditions of them vary.
Hey there. Amazing job on the bike! Im wondering if you still have it? If so, could you make another video with it running? I would love to hear it with the bored motor, pipe, and rejetted carb. Thanks
Thank you Eric I don't have any kids to pass it down to and could really use the money right now. Glad you like it and the video I really appreciate it.
Awesome restore job Joseph! I’ve been watching it on ebay, if you decide to reduce the price I’m sure you would get bids. I know I would bid on it. I had a new one in 85 and wish I never sold it.
Tony I started restoring a 85 200x that had been parked in a co-workers garage for 15 years. It won't be as nice as this one but it should still look pretty sweet look for it on ebay in about a month. It's hard to make a profit on these. In fact I am pretty sure the bike was worth more parting it out than it was running but that is no fun. I want to see it get a second life with a new owner.
raced these back in the day with Curtis Sparks power I tell people the 200x cost 1600 bucks and the motor build with pipe and carb set up was 2700 bucks lol
This is a awesome rebuild great work, you figure 150 hrs is like 3.75 weeks minimum wage say around $400 a week that's $1500 plus 4500 = $6000 + idk if that includes the $800 you paid for it but if not that's $6800 u have into her. I would love to have a 85 or 86 250r atc done like this I'm in C.T though I'm assuming you're done south? Anyways great job buddy keep up the work you have some real talent most people can't put a bike together this clean.
Thanks Im in VA and also have decided to keep it. Going to let the old lady drive her and Im going to ride my 83 250r and just got 2 85 atc 70s for the kids lol I'm working on the motors now rebuilding them they are so much cheaper to fix up. Ill get another video up when I get them finished and running. Thanks again appreciate the complement. Wouldn't mind having a 85 or 86 250r myself maybe one of these days.
I just bought two 1985 200x from the same person and paid $2200 for them both.I thought its a great deal and both run and are in great condition...What I keep seeing is I musta got a great deal considering what I am seeing them go for.
Mine was in nice shape when I first got it but compression was a little low and I went all out on it. Paid 800 for it and now I have 4500 in it and over 150 hours labor. I have it for sale on ebay now and its a package deal with a 85 70 and also a 83 250r starting price 5500
I seriously cant see anyone paying $5500 for it.Its nice and I am sure you have some time in it,but it is getting harder to get parts for,many shops wont work on them and thats about 5 times more than it was worth to begin with.Not only that,several states have banned them from state parks so registration is limited.I do know that I have already begun to collect parts so I have them when I need them and they really arent that expensive.Nice job on it.Good luck selling it.
mike swader Mike I just bought one an main has reverse an I got for 300 is main a 350 or a 250s I bought it with out asking questions.gas tanke is like the one in the video except that the one I have the body is red with white.... can please help me find out which one I have
Thank you I ended up buying new fenders because the original ones had cracks in them. I was not able to get a plastic light cover and tried and tried to make it look like new and could not do it. I found out that using sand paper and a buffing wheel would be the best but maybe my buffer was not fast enough not sure. Wish I had the answer for you.
I have one nearly identical just not with the polished engine casing and those wheels besides that it’s just as clean and same everything…I get offers nearly every week for 5k and I never sell…of course I ride my to lunch and use it nearly every day here in yuma Arizona so that’s why I get alot of interest
Just curious . how much did you spend to restore it? I have the same Atc but is not running . was told it ran about 5 years ago. Youre video gives me inspiration to not sell mines for 500$ as is condition. Nice honda u got man. Thanks.
Thanks for replying to a video you posted years ago. If you still have the trike would you look on the side of the tire, it should say the size. I can guess the wheel width.
Bruh so sad I don’t make much money my first ever bike is a 1984 200x it runs but it has some problems it’s not as smooth running as the bikes I see on TH-cam it runs a little rough doesn’t like to idle unless has I make the idle real high
1ownerbigwheel guy Hey i agree with you , the 83-84-85 are not worth that much even if you put thousands into ita not worth it , now the 86-87 yes 87 is super rare they are worth alot but they are only worth the most when they are all stock original low hours , i saw a 87 200x go for 10 grand, saw one go for 6500 , saw one go for 8000 , and one for 5500 . dont get me wrong this 200x in the video is bad ass i mean just bad ass nice as hell 100% perfect , but it still dont carry a high value not unless you put gold on it
Absolutely amazing job bro, great save. The atc community salutes you🏆. Looking at getting a 83 200x to play with and this is good motivation.
Man, you made this bike look absolutely gorgeous, very nicely done!
So nice, I hope to find one for sale that perfect up here in MN someday! Thanks for posting, love to see some love go into these beautiful old machines.
great job...I had one back in the 80s. rode all the tank trails down in fort bragg nc on it. loved it.
Fantastic job, I can't imagine the amount of time spent on this. I think you should keep it. Too nice to sell.
Thanks Mike
It was nice when you first got it, But dang dude you made that bike Super nice. He'll of a job !
Thanks I appreciate the compliment
Awesome job man! Beautiful bike!
I got to say very nice job and thank so much for not make a 85 look like a 86 or 87
You did A great job!! I've got 200x and250sx love to ride them!! They run beautiful!!!!
Is it just me or was the bike perfect to start with
Dude, this is my inspiration for my 200X!
I had an 86, race exhaust...loved that bike/ATC. Learned how to use a clutch on it.
Very nice! Much respect from Michigan. 👍
That's a pretty nice looking little ride , too bad they don't make em like that anymore though
Thank you! It took a lot of time.
if yu interested yu can find shops that will take a new or newer dirt bike and convert it to a trike.
or if yu look and search yu can still find original trikes for sale. prices and conditions of them vary.
Makes me miss my 86 350x
I like the polished look
Great job, look like new.
Beautiful - don't know how you can part with it at any price. Hope the sale rewarded you appropriately at least. Chgeers from Sydney Australia :-)
That's sharp, I love it incredible job
Hey there. Amazing job on the bike! Im wondering if you still have it? If so, could you make another video with it running? I would love to hear it with the bored motor, pipe, and rejetted carb.

Thanks I have a lot more than the 4000 I was starting the auction at but I still may end up dropping the price soon.

Beautiful job. How do you recommend I clean up the plastic on mine? It's the same model. thank you

Where did you find the new oil rings and compression rings etc ?????
I think I got them on eBay.
Just curious . how much did you spend to restore it? I have the same Atc but is not running . was told it ran about 5 years ago. Youre video gives me inspiration to not sell mines for 500$ as is condition. Nice honda u got man. Thanks.
Paid 800 for it had 4500 in it plus about 200 hours labor
What size are the rims and tires. I have a 1983 I’m gonna restore and I like this set up
Sorry bud I don't remember but I got them on eBay
Thanks for replying to a video you posted years ago. If you still have the trike would you look on the side of the tire, it should say the size. I can guess the wheel width.
@@LukesGarage Sorry I sold it but I'ii look and see if I can find some pictures maybe I can zoom in and find out.
How much did you ask ,is it still for sale?
What name brand wheels and size are rear wheels?
Name brand rims rear wheels? I like the set up. Looks real nice.
The tires are ambush and not sure about rims I order tires and rims on eBay.
Nice job
that thing is nice!
Thanks
nice atc
saw that white diamond bro!
How much did this sell for?
What u do to polish the engine and everything
Where did you have the engine polished?
I did it myself
do you still have it?
How do you get the front axle
Not sure what you meant? The front is forks.
what are these worth running but not good condition?
I paid 800 for mine running but that was about 7 years ago. The price of everything has gone up since then. I have no clue what there worth now.
How did you end up liking them ambush tires on there? Also what size?
I like the looks but didn't ride much on them and unsure of size just ordered on Ebay
@@Smashsmashcrash I ended up getting some a while ago. Love them! Wish they still had the colored lettering still, they are just black letters now.
Where can I find that chrome dg exhaust
I got it on Ebay
SUPER!
I'm in the middle of an 85 200x restore myself. How did you remove paint from motor?
Sandpaper and dremal tool
I also started a restoration of an 85 200x garage find. Hasn't ran in 15 years. Good luck to you.
What size rim and tire you running in the rear?
Not sure I ordered them on eBay
Sweet
What kind of exhaust is that
Not sure got it on eBay
How long did it take
It took over 150 hours
nice
Very nice man.... but you can't beat the deal I got on mine for $200 and $17 carb as you see in the picture lol... Good job tho buddy
Dillon Belflower I got mine free and it works fine because my dads friend gave it to us for free
Do you want to sell it if so how much
About to put it on ebay this week or next so look for it type in atc and you will find it
I got one I’m restoring now.
Azzion smith how is your restoration going? I look to get my hands on a 200x, 250r, and 350!

your kinda of crazy. Its a 200x. if you had a untouched 87 it would be worth maybe what your asking. ITS a 200x its cool but not that cool
It is what it is
1ownerbigwheel guy
Hey i agree with you , the 83-84-85 are not worth that much even if you put thousands into ita not worth it , now the 86-87 yes 87 is super rare they are worth alot but they are only worth the most when they are all stock original low hours , i saw a 87 200x go for 10 grand, saw one go for 6500 , saw one go for 8000 , and one for 5500 .
dont get me wrong this 200x in the video is bad ass i mean just bad ass nice as hell 100% perfect , but it still dont carry a high value not unless you put gold on it
