ATC 250R SALE MANUAL
A close-ratio 6-speed transmission with heavy-duty manual clutch and an O-ring chain cut the back wheels loose, and dual-piston calipers put the clampdown on the front and rear disc brakes. The all-new water-cooled single-cylinder two-stroke engine packed a counterbalancer that quelled vibrations and cranked out 40% more horsepower than the previous generation through a factory-engineered expansion chamber exhaust. The third-generation version of the ATV that started the 3-wheel racing revolution answered its Kawasaki Tecate and Yamaha Tri-Z archrivals with a bigger, wider and faster machine in the fierce battle for supremacy. As racers fought it out on the dirt, manufacturers battled on the showroom floor, and Honda gained ground with its 1985 ATC250R. Few could have foreseen that the pokey 1970 ATC90 would spawn a fiercely competitive racing series, but that's what happened, and the 1981 Honda ATC250R was the first full-suspension high-performance ATV. The unusual off-road machine built with fun and utility in mind sparked explosive growth of an entirely new industry, and this unrestored, all-original 1985 Honda ATC 250R stands as the apex predator of ‘80s 3-wheel racing performance.

Originally named the US90, the Honda ATC90 All-Terrain Cycle 3-wheeler packed an 89cc/7 HP engine and floatation tires that doubled as the suspension.
