Well, it's not so new. In fact, it's 20 years old, but it's super clean and I love it. I bought this '85 Honda ATC 350X of a coworker yesterday. I've wanted an ATC since I was a little kid and now I finally have one. I snapped the pics after I got it dirty. I feel like I went back in time to get it. Only problem is I'm scared to beat on it because it is so nice.
Check out my new toy!

I traded my 350X to a shop to restore a ATC 70. one extreme to the next. but don't get me wrong the new 70 has a big bore kit & other goodies. wife could not start the 350 @ the track so I had to get something she could start.
very nice looking back into the past, 4 wheels are for girls, 3 wheels are for real riders. :biggrin:

a 350X stays on 2 wheels most of the time. :biggrin:

Yeah, that thing is a beast. I love all the torque of the 4 stroke. I'd like to find a ATC 70 for the wife and eventually my son. (he's only 9 months old now) Those little horizontal motors can move too. My '71 CT70H will hold a 2nd gear wheelie and pop third good with nothing more than a good head port job, cam, and a 20mm carb. I'm almost scared to put a big bore kit on it.

Wow, That thing is in good shape.
Not to be a downer..Be careful on it. 3 wheelers are dangerous. They roll over easy. You can Easily run over your own foot/leg or a passengers. Trust me I speak from experience. There's a reason why they don't make them anymore.
Be careful and have fun.

The pic doesn't do it justice. I was blown away when I finally got to see it in person. Needless to say I had to get it.
You're probably the 50th person this week warning me about ATC's, and for good reason. It seems like every other person I know has either been flipped off of one or had their leg caught in the rear tire. I'll be taking it pretty easy on this thing (partly because I would hate myself if I banged it up since it is so clean)

Your brothers is an '86. They only made the 350X for 2 years. There were a few '87's that made it to the Honda dealerships, but they were forced to dismantle them and return them due to the ban. Other than the color I think they are practically identical. My friend who sold it to me says the '86 has less power but I can't find anything supporting that.
I had an 81 ATC 250R, it was so wickedly fast compared to anything at the time. It was a great three-wheeler.
I have a YZ250F now, it's got so much power, even for a little bike (a TALL little bike that is). Torque out the ying yang. 2 strokes are too pipey for my taste.
