Thanks for Clearing that up. I like them Both.

Good review. I live in Canada and had the 86 however it was exactly the same as the 85 you are showing here. I’m absolutely positive that it was 1986 on the steering column. Must be just the month they where manufactured. Was the greatest toy.

Thanks T-dog for the comparison info you are the man.

There are a ton more small details I couldn’t think of on camera.

Awesome video! Ill be in the market for an 86 ATC 250R next year! I have owned everything but an ATC 250R and 86 seems like the year to get.

Amazing how much they are different. And Yamaha bansheee ran more so many years not changing hardly anything. Great video

Had one back in the day one word perfection

Exhaust silencer mounting is different, seat height is different, foot peg differences, carrier differences, front fork springs, kicker collar difference, wiring/Cdi differences, and some other things I forgot

Beautiful machines, what a treat to see them side by side, thanks ! 👍

The carbs .. 85 had a PE round slide carb , 86 had a PJ oval slide carb . 86 seat was 1" taller than 85

Great video Travis. Never had the pleasure of riding one. Would love to get one someday in that condition 👍

I have 2 1985 250rs in my garage collecting dust wich is better then collecting scratches lol

NICE JOB

Honda completely dominated in the 80’s and these are 2 examples of why.

I am posting this around to see if anyone knows......My 85 came out of the crate with a seat saying ''ATC''....not 250R! It was one of the first in California, not late in the model year!

Unless you saw it with your own eyes I’d say someone swapped it with an 86 seat.

@@darestorations Yes, I watched it be assembled and it was long before an 86 was available and it is clearly lower in profile like an 85 seat! The fender was also 85 style. Sadly, I sold it after 8 years....it was a Freak or Aliens?

And I believe the 86 has the 250r decal on the front fender which is missing
