My favorite as well. They were produced for such a short period and have so many features unique to that model only. Plenty of predictable power and super reliable. I love all 3 wheelers but this one takes the cake.
Thanks for sharing. That thing is MINT...I obtained an 85 350x this year and in the process of sprucing it up. Mine is all OG and have OG paperwork/manual. I'm the fourth owner. Mine def needs some work as plastics are scratched up. Glad I came across your video...I now have a goal of how I want mine to look.
As a kid I really wanted that 350 machine...any suspension was exotic since at the time we had that same KLT you have sitting in the background....ours had no front suspension.
I owned and raced (lived on) my 85 350x as a youngster. Ran it for 20 years until kids were on the way and sold this bike, boat and sled just because I had no more time for them unfortunately. Wish I had kept this bike now however. And btw, that headlight protector is not stock or from the factory, it was offered and sold on this bike by the dealer after delivery. Everything else on it appears correct. The only thing I’d question is the exhaust pipe guard as it looked different but with how this overall bike appears, I’d obviously say it’s correct.
Excellent find! I’m glad to see that someone who appreciates it for its history and what it is ended up with it. Recently I’ve been watching a clown in my neighborhood tear around on an ATC250SX that looks like an ‘85. Shame to see it getting beaten to hell by a guy who cares nothing about its history and vintage. I’m not big into 3-wheelers (I had an ‘84 Quadrunner 185) but I grew up around them and rode with my friends who had them. It’s always so amazing to see a machine in the 80’s in like new condition and relish the memories.
Thanks, Alaska Guy! Yes, I've witnessed similar situations. There seems to be equal parts of people who like to see these machines get used as they were intended, and just as many others who want to preserve them as a piece of history. To each their own, I'm certainly in the latter category. Once they are gone, they are gone.
Thanks! Those small details are often overlooked but are so important for a correct road map for what actually makes a factory-correct ATC. Without official standards like a Marty Report (Ford) or similar, we need to maintain a standard somehow. Holding that line & standard is part of my goal here at MacWorth Vintage. Thank you for helping maintain that standard with all your great videos!
@@MacWorthVintageATVs we must maintain a clear and accurate record... none of my machines are the caliber of yours... I don't think I heard you say "mint" either I trust you know my thoughts on that word, hahah
Thank you! Yes the tires and fenders alone would make this one hard to ride as those original Pro Vectors are near impossible to find replacements for. It has officially become 'art'.
Absolutely stunning my opinion is lightly wash it , just so it's clean enough to show that you haven't touched it up or are hiding anything and the yellow, "this fastener is tight," dabs of paint show
@@MacWorthVintageATVs I know you like to make them perfect...most of the time they are nicer then new when your done with them, hopefully this one stays in your private collection
I could of bought one in 2005 for 1500 bucks. Should have since what they are selling for in todays market. Bought an 86 250r in mint condition out of Pennsylvania in 2001. Still have it and ride it.
I agree I like the 85 better. When I went looking for a 350x I wanted a 85. Red white & blue looks so good. I did end up buying a 86 350x also but I still like the 85 look better. People think I’m crazy for wanting a 85 over a 86. I even like the 85 R better then the 86
That is truly one of THE best surviving examples I've seen. 100% original, intact, & in amazing condition. Very rare. Congrats to you sir!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.
I truly loved Honda atc’s. I’ll never forget the day my dad came home with the ‘84 big red. The 350x has always been my favourite.
My favorite as well. They were produced for such a short period and have so many features unique to that model only. Plenty of predictable power and super reliable. I love all 3 wheelers but this one takes the cake.
Another nice machine, also digging your Dodge truck!

The '85's are truly gorgeous trikes. The red is so deep and bright...they just POP!
Yes, agreed Darius! Thanks

I went and looked at this 350x when it was for sale. Looks just as good in person as it does in this video. Glad it went to a good home.
Yes, it's a very nice original example.
Your 100 % correct that IS how we like to find them
wow! that's a epic barn find for sure. absolutly beautiful! great great machine. just leave it alone imo. good video sir!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely gorgeous machine man! The '85 350X is my favorite as well. What an incredible find.
Thank you very much!
That’s mint nice find I like that year the best too
What a treat to see this, thanks !
Thank you, Andrew. Glad you enjoyed it.

You have it right, or you have excuses..... I love that

@@tricycleguy2657 Yes, I certainly do!
What a gorgeous machine John! Wow. Special, special, special three wheeler right there. Congratulations sir!
Thank you, Preston! Definitely blessed to have had this come my way. I just love it.
Gorgeous John that's a cherry!! very nice machine I'd leave it just the way it is.. 85 is is my favorite also
Thanks, Dan! Yes, it's hard to beat the look of the dust and grime, tells a great story.
That's one beautiful machine ! 👍
Thank you!
Very nice. The 350x is one of the few performance 3-wheelers I don't have from the 80s--it's on the list though. That one would be too nice to ride.
Thank you! Yes the tires and fenders alone would make this one hard to ride as those original Pro Vectors are near impossible to find replacements for. It has officially become 'art'.
Very clean

Thank you! Yes, that sounds like a good plan. However, my OCD will eventually kick in and the buff and cutting pads will come out, lol.

TAKE MY MONEY 💰 🤑

100%
Mint
I have to ask, do you ever ride these classics or are they strictly show pieces? Thanks for the content!
Occasionally I give them a little run around before detailing/preserving them for showpieces. Sometime I just can't help myself.
@@MacWorthVintageATVs totally understand. I really appreciate your attention to detail on these old atvs. Thanks for sharing!
It is a surver
MacWorth, I have a 86 lt250 Suzuki quad frame, message me back if want to buy it. It would make a nice project quad
