Honda ATC250R 1986Three-Wheeler When we took this out to take pictures, the rider was pulling wheelies with no problem at all. It even has Dice Tire Valve Covers. From Dirt Wheels MagazineHonda’s 1985 and 1986 ATC250R is arguably the greatest high-performance three-wheeler produced by a major manufacturer. Originally released as the first mass-produced high-performance ATV in 1981, the 1985–1986 Honda ATC250R represented the machine’s third complete redesign in only five years. For a racer or highly experienced rider, it had a capable 246cc, water-cooled, two-stroke engine with lots of hidden potential for a skilled motor builder. While its engine was good, it was the 250R’s suspension, handling, durability, and attention to detail that really set it apart from its competitors. Due to the banning of new three-wheeler sales in 1987, the ATC250R never received the accolades of its four-wheeled descendant, the legendary TRX250R, with which it shared much of its engine and rear suspension design.
