1986 Honda BIG RED ATC250ES

Not Available

I am selling my 1986 Honda Big Red ATC250ES . I believe I am the third owner and have owned it for about 6 years. The best I can describe the condition is good to great condition, never abused. When I bought it 6 years ago it had been completely restored by the previous owner, he had replaced all the cables on the machine because the original cables had the plastic coating gotten brittle and cracked off. He replaced anything on the machine and fully restored it to like new condition. Since I have owned it I have just done small stuff to it like replace the battery and change oil. I bought it because I have always liked 3 wheelers and used to work at a Honda dealer back in 1985 and remember selling Honda 3 wheelers including Big Reds. I have used it around my property for hauling and pulling a small trailer and giving my kids rides. Never abused on hill climbs, mud holes, etc. Has been adult owned as far as I can tell. I do not have a title for it, alot of times these older machines were not titled. When I bought it the owner just gave me a hand written bill of sale. This is one of the all time best utility ATV models ever made from any manufacturer, hands down. It is a 250cc engine with a 5 speed automatic transmission with reverse and a drive shaft . It also has electric start with backup kick starter. As for condition, mechanically it runs, shifts, and stops like a top. Never once did I have a problem with the mechanics on this machine. The tires are original 2/3rds of tread remaining do not leak with NO dry cracking at all and it's nearly 30 years old! The gas tank is original and is real nice inside, no rust. On the outside on the right side there is a small dent, it was like that when I got it and I was going to have someone pop it out but it became less important to me as time went on. The racks do not appear to be bent, but are scratched up on the top from use. The plastics are real nice for the age, but not perfect, scratched here and there, but better than average. The seat seams original with no rips or tears in it. Original rims are much better than average with only some surface rust around the lips in the rear. Also included is the original owner's manual as well as a genuine honda shop manual, tool kit and extra oil filter and ignition key. You can call me with any questions you have about it, 715-572-5465 I am offering this for local pick up and when you come to look at it if you decide to buy it you can pay me for it with cash and take it home. I may try to sell it locally so this listing can end early.
