I'm currently restoring my '82 Big Red I've had for around 30 years. She's a beast.

Hi guys , brilliant video btw especially for the English viewers, I didn’t know half this stuff so very educational, would love to see a better quality of picture just to show how good those machines are , brilliant channel. Love it

😃 Just watching now buddy. Thank you for the mention. Finally a good pic for me to share. I can't wait to see your 88. And I'll never forget how smooth and perfectly running those 1987s were that you had me come pick up with you.

Very interesting video. I enjoyed learning some more about the 200’s. I’m like you,my first atc was the 200 es. I grew up on a farm and what a fun and handy work machine it was. In fact I used it so much I had to get a top end rebuild done to it.

Those 84 200ES's are tried and true machines. I sold the one from my childhood in 2010 like a fool... tried to track it down, but the trail went cold on me. This other one fills the void nicely though.

I refuse to let my dad sell or scrap his 83 200e either of them i will rebuild them when i can afford it. Die hard machines and unreplacable.

My first ATV was a 84 200s. A little different, it was not a Big Red, no front rack or Big Red graphics. It was rope pull only, no electric start, and had a chain drive. Great machine, wish I still had it. Enjoyed the video!

I loved the 200S and still remember the angry bark from the engine, even after 35 years. I still check the classifieds for them but they hardly ever come up in usuable condition. I did miss a 250sx this year, but it went for 6 grand (£)!

I miss my dads 83 200e. One of these days ill use the 2 scrap piled ones we have to make a runner. The all terrain cycle was on the cross member for both our 83s if that helps any.

Thanks brother. Mine is coming along

Hmmm, I do notice that the 82 Big Red gas tank is tilted up a little more than the others. Maybe the two rubber mounts on the frame were welded in place up higher than the later models? I really never had the pleasure of getting to ride a 200 BR when I was a teenager, and I really wanted a honda 3 wheeler, hoping for a 125 or even a 110, but instead My parents got me a 85 250 BR, talk about being blown away as a kid. I'd like to find a decent 200 BR sometime, I'm sure it would be pretty cool to add to my small collection. Great videos as always👍

No, the tank is on the frame wrong... the C shaped metal mounts on the tank are sitting on the rubbers that they're supposed to be around... I need to take the 2 minutes out of my life to fix that... lol.

Great video, nice to see the 200 big reds getting the attention they deserve, do you reckon you could exert some influence and get Serwa Tires to make reproduction Dunlop KT 325’s? I’d defo buy a set for my all original ‘84. Best wishes from the Emerald Isle.

Hi Gareth, are you a member of Honda atc UK Ireland & beyond?

I just got one with 84 on the headstock , but it has the up gearbox and the plastic throttle housing , grey decals on the back , but on the side plastic it says super red 200 , maby the Oceania bikes are different than the USA spec bikes , or I’ve got a late 84 that it got the 85 bits

@ThisOldTrike

If it says Super Red, you must be in Australia or possibly New Zealand? You guys did the 85 200ES too. It could be that the engine and/or other parts have been swapped around over the years too.

Great vid, could of said the early models didnt have reverse. But it was great!!! Have the 83 and 84 models.

There is a place in Sharon springs area that vulcanizes tires.

I'll look at it more tomorrow I just bought it and never had really much time with it it's not running probably sour gas it hasn't been running into years but when he parked it it was fine

Hi, if you were to choose between the 1984 200es or say 1985 250es, would the 250 be the one because it has more CC ? Im asking because I´m on the hunt for a 250 es but they just dont grow on trees here but there is a 200es with reverse and shaft for sale.

@@ThisOldTrike thanks for your input, I guess its the overall capability as you mention but whats the biggest difference (in your point of view) is it those 50cc more or the rear suspension that makes the 250 the number one pick ? Well now it got both but you know what I mean 🙂

Only two of these 5 have been restored. I did not rebuild the motors. They weren't in bad shape before I started, so I opted to not dive into the motors.

Is the frame are the same on the shaft one and the chain drive ?

@ThisOldTrike

No, they're different. The differential on the shaft drive unit bolts up differently than the bearing carrier on the chain drive units.

Sounds like a 1981 or 1982 ATC 200. Is the headlight switch on the headlight, or on the bars? 81 is in the headlight, 82 is on the bars.

What I’ve thought Is if your 84 200es was made in 84 it would say all-terrain cycle but if it was made in 84 it would say Honda my 200es was made in January and it says Honda but I’m not 100% sure but that’s what I believe

Does anyone know anything about the 84 200M?? I have one and it says on the skicker its the 5/83 made. Could that be true?
