Quote HistoryQuoted: As a teen, I put countless hours and miles on one of these. Too much fun. https://silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Honda-ATC-250R-Three-Wheeler-1536x864.jpg So did I, and I miss that two-stroke sound and smell. But modern 4-stroke 4-wheelers are better in every way, except the cost. Far more stable, faster (if you pick the right one), no mixing fuel, more range on a tank, wider powerband, etc. I wish I had kept a 250R 4-wheeler, just for nostalgia. But I'm not going to pay current market prices for a nice one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: That thing is just nuts Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I went through 4 of them as a kid in the 70s and 80s (90, 185s, 200x, 250) I didn't die. Never owned a 4 wheeler, I moved on to dirt bikes. I can tell very few in this thread have spent any time riding a 3 wheeler, a hell of a lot safer than a dirt bike. I had way more near death experiences on my CR500 than on my 250R. Dude you can’t compare a cr500 and a 250r lol Eta yes I’ve ridden both How about an ATC500R?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YCZArbrfxM That thing is just nuts I could feel the handlebars vibrating just from watching the video.

I remember loving the cr500 I got to ride - but not why you would think. I loved it because when riding it like a little bitch like I did, it made everything so effortless. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Never rode one, but if you made the rear a real differential instead of a spool, would they not be safer? We have a 125M that's still a ton of fun, if you respect the laws of physics   Attached File |
