    WOW does that ever bring back memories. I've owned 4 back in the 90s. I had an 81, 82, 83, and 84. Super fast and so much fun. They are without a doubt the hardest thing to ride hard but once you've mastered the technique needed they are the most fun to ride. The 4 I spoke of were all air cooled 5 speeds. In 85 and 86 the last year they were made they were 6 speed water cooled. I'm 56 now and after watching this commercial it reminded me of how much I enjoyed riding them im going to find an 86 in good condition and recapture my youth lol

      Were same vintage... I had two 84 200Xs and a 86 250R... Alot of fun and wish I'd of kept them, but they took up so much garage space and I was a MC guy 1st.
      Always imagined what a bummer it had to of been to of bought a 1984 250R and see the 85 model come out... Id of been bummed, so a leap forward from 84 to 85.

      To be fair the generation that had it the best is also the generation that began this horrendous fixation with regulating safety at the expense of freedom. They have now raised a generation who genuinely believe that freedom is evil. They view those of us who believe that individuals have the capability to evaluate risk without government mandates as extremists and terrorists trying to destroy the little safety bubble they've demanded the government create.
      After the three wheel federal can you can see how the advocacy groups turned to four wheelers and demanded those be banned. They didn't succeed...yet.

      Marco Ceccarelli i have yet to really tap the potential of my 84 R with wheelies. 2 strokes are a but more touchy. But, and a buddy have been practicing on a ytm200 and a big red 250es.
      We got a straight stretch where we live about 6 miles and my buddy can do the whole thing, and i can get about half that. Theres lots of hills you have to compensate for and also, we dont have rear brakes. So if we go over we cant save em unlike a lot of these kids you see today that milk the brakes.
      We've been taking videos of it, waiting for the perfect day to get out there and record the whole thing, traffic and wind conditions prevent us a lot of the times.

You'll find yourself timing inclines and obstacles better. It will 100% make you a better 2 and 4 wheel rider.

Even if you never got into what most call 'powersports', you probably know how to wrench because you can take care of your own vehicle due to fixing flat tires or making a brake cable work on a bicycle. I was the asshole that did double stair gaps and built jumps in the woods to over rotate a backflip on because I had RAD on VHS. All of my friends went to the hospital, so don't listen to me.

Eventually, Honda smartly installed guards in that area to keep it from happening.

    ATC's were HUGE when they came out. Everyone had one or wanted one. Unfortunately because they had three wheels very inexperienced riders assumed they were safe. This lead to multiple accidents, injuries and subsequent regulations. Honestly, If they brought back the ATC 250R back... I would be the first in line. They were genius.

    And dropped 10 teeth smaller on the rear ... I had a 550 four cylinder dirt bike at that time that would do 115mph on the old haul road of the amax coal mine in stauton indiana , shaun the owner of the 1981 atc250r that i modified using parts he bought and parts of my own , caught up to me and passed by pretty fast while i was topped out ...his stock tires were swelled up at the centers and scrapping on the fenders ..scared me half to death

      +Disloyal Dashie Id take a 250r over a 200x any day. But yeah they probably did sell more of the 200x considering it had a much broader market. It's kind of like the Lt 230 quad sport. A novice or a pro could hop on one and have fun with a little bit of know how.

    ATC 250R we raced the baja 1000 in 1982 and if you see the start of the commercial was DEVILS SLIDE in back of Santa Maria . it was very steep and had three sides to it going up the top was near vertical and the back were monsterious sand bowls. not many made it to the top and the bottom was close to the ocean.
    that first was closed in in ‘88 then Osoflako was closed in ‘90 then oceano dunes finally closed after it was heavily fenced due to saving the monarch butterfly in 2022.
    peace to team honda its people competitors and many years i had fun on my 250R.

    True story: my brother and I race motocross for eight years, my brother was actually a professional sponsored by Kawasaki team green. There was a big family reunion and we were at a farm, we didn’t really know that part of the family, but they had a kid that was rich on a three wheeler. He thought he was hot stuff. My brother thought that it would be easier to show him up on his own three wheeler. My brother was wrong. There was a big jump and my brother jumped and made a huge mistake and stuck both feet down. Landed on both ankles with both back tires, look like he tried to rip his legs off. It was terrifying and hilarious. We never tried to ride a three wheeler again after that.
