- The Honda ATC250ES was the top of the line utility 3 wheeler, before they ceased sales in 1987. The ATC 250 ES also known as the "Big Red" featured a 250cc four stroke engine with a five speed transmission. It has both electric and kick start, full suspension, shaft drive, and more very thoughtful features. We bought this neglected Honda Big Red after it had been sitting for 5 years, and we return it to service!
Thanks for Watching!

I'm old enough to remember my friends getting hurt on 3 wheelers. Neighbor gave me one and I asked why. "Don't want another of my kids getting busted up". I believe they were legislated off the road in many if not all states.
I was yelling it has kick start and the back flips up the whole time they had no idea lol
If you buy a pressure washer for Ike, you'd probably save some money on shop towels.
I grew up on my grandpa's farm and I rode this exact model for years around the farm doing chores, hunting, and working. Ngl I really want this exact 3wheeler. Relive some of the good ole days and ride again.
That's my childhood right there boys. Treat it well.
It always cracks me up. John gets so excited when they start up.
Old Honda 3 wheeler will take you into the woods and will always bring you back.
Junkyard digs Kevin would be proud
I grew up on 3 wheelers 250x, 200 m, and a 250 big red exactly like this 1 and could ride the piss out of all of em, people riding them with no common sense caused them to stop making them, all you had to do is remember no matter which way you’re going, always lean up hill and into the turns and never any problems, you got a steal on this gem at $1200, id buy them in that shape all day long at that price 👍🏼
When you mentioned that it was one of the best 3 wheelers ever...It brought back a great memory . My neighbor got one of the baddest 3 wheeler I had ever seen. It was called DuneCycle. It had a 30 hp Rockwell twin 2 stroke in it. That thing scared the crap out of me. (Granted I WAS only 15) The first thing I had to do was crack that throttle wide open (just gotta to see what that baby will do) It pulled me back in that seat like nothing I've ever experienced. Almost pulled my hands off the grips. I'm 66 now and I still remember that feeling. Again...I was only 15. Probably wasn't Super Fast But back then...It sure seemed like it. My neighbor said they come with a 15 or a 30 hp Rockwell engines He chose the 30 hp not the Briggs and Stratton. Just an idea for your next project. There's also a Trisport Z340cc that's street legal which is supposed to be very fast also. I think one of these would be a good project (If they're in your price range). There's a Dune Cat 4 wheeler. Man I loved the 70's. All kinds of dangerous vehicles were made back then. Any body have one of these or agree about the crazy the 70's vehicles were?
I fell in love with these after seeing them featured in the “In A Big Country” music video.
I bought a 1981 Honda 185s two Christmas’s ago. I got a new cbr1000rr the august before that, and my three boys were wanting something to ride. I paid $250 for it, because they couldn’t keep it running. I got it home, pulled the amazon carb, and the clip came off the main needle. It had fallen in the main jet, and wouldn’t let fuel through. I wrapped a wire around the needle where the clip would go, and put it back together. It started right up, and hasn’t stopped since. lol. You literally can’t kill it. I had to unfu€k a lot of stuff they messed up doing terrible repairs, but the thing is a beast. I’ve only upped it once. 😂
My neighbor bought a new ATC around 1977 or 78. I dunno what size, I was only about 11. He let me ride it, but I couldn't make it steer. I ran right into the side of his brand new GMC "Gentleman Jim" pickup. Kids are stupid 🤣
I'm betting a lot of us old school fans laughed when u said that foam would get sucked in.. That two parts mess they used back in the day about stopped everything from getting through. I owned the 250sx what beast
Ive owned every type of 3 wheeler 185 and up and every year big red, the best. 3 wheelers are not even close to a 4 wheeler. When Honda came out with the 4 wheeler it was bad but they improved allot. One of the best was the 300 4X4. rode good, steered good and almost bullet proof like Hondas are.
Great video as always. Yes we all want a RZR build!!!
I luv wen u guys and are genuinely excited about a project , its like watching a couple of teenagers tinkering in their dad's garage.😅
I knew it would start. I’ve had way worse looking Honda 3 wheelers that I got running when other people told me I couldn’t. These were the best in my opinion. Lol
I knew a couple of Firemen from OKC. I lived 4 miles from the "Little Sahara State Park" and they were there any time their days off were during the week. They raced a 56 F100 weekends but did buggies and bikes when they had days off M-F. They bought an ATC 90 that was pretty worn and proceeded to finish it off. Then installed a 175 Yamaha with 6 speed in it and it would scream but also had a lot of low end torque. One of their favorite games was to double up on it and each hold a beer while wheelieing to determine when it was time to swap places. They were a lot of fun to watch. And party with.
in the winter our neighbor would pull all the neighborhood kids around with rope on sleds on his 250 big red! the three wheelers are freakin awesome!
