Those trikes don't have a differential, so making turns takes some getting used to. I remember crashing through a garden fence the first time I rode one in 1990. Happy days
lol I love my 3 wheelers. My 1985 Honda 250sx is my main mudding machine even though I have a 2017 Yamaha kodiak 700 EPS SE. That thing is a blast because you can go anywhere that the big machines can go and when you get it stuck, you can just pull it out all by yourself.
VERY true. Way more fun to take a POS out there and get mired. Never understood dropping big coin on a ride and doing that to it. Up on Kijiji or Craigslist in a couple years- "just used lightly around the farm". LOL
If anyone believes that you need to drop that much money to have a blast they are just plain stupid, get an used dirt bike or an used atv and for less than $1000 you’re going to have a lot of fun
its not so much having a cheaper rig makes it less fun, its just having the expensive machine for some of us make it more fun. back when i rode a 500 sportsman i had a blast, now that i have a big expensive side by side i still have a blast. would i go back to a small cheaper atv? not in a million years. but every one is diffrent.
Those trike guys were awesome at the Big Dirty! They went ripping right past another group of guys stuck in a different hole... kinda made the other guys look lame Lol! Great vid! 👍
As a kid on the farm in the 80s, I only remember walking home once because the Big Red was too stuck for me to get out. Once we upgraded to 4 wheelers, we wouldn’t go out unless there was two of us. That pull and turn reverse shifter on the Big Red was terrible.
I grew up riding those old Honda ATCs, I even had a few Yamaha's and a few old Kawasaki's. Had an old Suzuki 125 even. Man I still wish they made them. I gotta find me an old Big Red one of these days...awesome video Osta!
Man oh man if they'd made tires that aggressive way back when I had one I'd thought I was King, but there was 2 choices for bad a:: tires one was the GoodYear Chevron RawHide and the other was the Woolly Booger which you could get in a lil bit larger tire
I remember my dads yamaha 3 wheeler has wooley boogers! alot of fun! Ibought myself a yamaha 225DX from ebay just 5 months ago and its so much fun I ride it more than my RZR 800
I just got a 3 wheeler like 5 months ago off ebay. Its a Yamaha 225DX and its in really good condition. My dad used to have one just like it and he told me to put a suicide shifter on mine so I did and its so awesome.

I bought a yamaha 225DX from ebay and its so much fun. The owner told me its been in storage for a long time so its nice for how old it is. I have pics if you want to see
7:29. Amen! Eveyone made fun of me when i bought my ytm 225 dr but i am finding out that it is VERY capable... and sooooo much fun to ride. Btw... one pull starts every time
Do those ATC's have paddle axels on them? it appears that they must... I've had more than 10 honda atc's and they don't go through stuff like that normally. Paddle axel and float tires help a LOT!! I used to have a friggin SWEET 86 Honda 250 R with the power band. That thing was FAST!!!

You cant hardly kill that 2 valve 200cc honda engine . the frame on mine is junk but the engine still ran fine.those i think were the 250s shaft drive.
You either are or are not a trike person.Man I love em. It must be ok to ride on powerlines in canada eh? Here in Michigan we do the same shit, but having eyes in the back of your head is a must. DNR don't mess around.Get caught and bye bye whatever you were driving and hello massive fine to go along with it. Honestly you get in LESS trouble for a Drunk Driving then out mudding on powerlines. The system is so messes up.
Most cut lines and power line right of ways are on crown land (public land) no one owns it privately. The provincial/federal government is who it belongs too. Since you are a resident of Canada, you have are free to use it.
Trikes were never out lawed in canada. They just stopped making them so we all got quads. I had my trimoto 200e plated and insured from 1983 till fall 2016 when i sold it. 45 bucks a year full coverage policy for 2015 season.
Depends on where exactly the power lines are in Canada btw, I've been in Québec the last 10 years and most power lines are rented to farmers so you can't pass on them

Spy Crab I knew guys who had them, and they raced, but for an average rider, turning a corner too fast could literally kill you - give me 4 wheels any day!
Now you need to get the crew to pick up some honda ATC 250r , 250sx , 350x , might as well throw a Yamaha Tri Moto 250 and Kawasaki tecate 250 in the mix and build them up for mud and trail travel
I just had to laugh at this😂 three wheelers are so derpy and I know mine would definitely get stuck in that mud, then again it is only a 185👌 good video
Wondering what you guys think of the polaris highlifter 850 compared to the xmr 850 looking to get either one just wondering if its worth spending the extra money on the xmr or just go with the highlifter thanks!
Josh Welsh highlifter is more reliable and has lower gearing which will save your belt and other parts such as drive shafts. I’ve seen xmrs blow drive shaft really often, and belts even more buy the highlifter if you want a slow speed mudding quad that won’t break, get a canam for fast speed and breaking parts.btw the highlifter is good stock with the canam you’ll have to buy an after market diff and drive shaft also you’ll need a maverick belt and a lift to even keep it running and you’ll need a lift to to get the clearance of the highlifter.
Calisthenics & Lifestyle ya I'm not looking to replace a bunch of parts lol and im no speed demon just like to play in the mud and hit the trails occasionally thanks for the reply
Josh Welsh no problem I was in the same spot as you it was either the xmr renegade vs the highlifter 1000 and as soon as I learned how bad canam 4wd system is I said fuck this I’m getting a Polaris its pretty much canams 3wd vs Polaris with 4wd
Imo the 850 xmr will outperform the hl 850 in every category. The Highlifter is much cheaper as it is missing a few things stock. No winch even. It is a solid rig. But everyone will have a different opinion
Nothing like a good old Honda
22 Rides agree with you on that
hell ya i got a 1984 200x every mod i can put on it shes got it lol

B it's push a button on brake handle and squeeze then shift down one. Basically a reverse lock out.
Most people put a bolt through brake handle and that bracket so just pull brake and down to reverse.
