In a recent forum thread post at the official TRX 250R website, a $50,000 reward is being offered to anyone who can prove the existence of these machines. A former Honda worker that witnessed all this has come forward with a similar statement. What's interesting about this statement is it's most recent confirmation. It's also well known that places like Mexico ended up getting 1987 200X's that got converted into quads so it's possible this also happened but it very unlikely. Honda also stated that it was possible some NOS OEM parts could have slipped out of the factory to be sold for other older models. Due to this, no production numbers for 1987 models could be given by the US branch. We spoke to Honda USA, who confirmed that three wheeler models in the United States were cut off 1986 and that no 1987 models made it out of the warehouses before they were cut up, and also that many of them never even made it out of the factory to be shipped off. In October of that year, the hunt started getting in depth again. In 2013, things started to flare up a bit in the forums, with members once again questioning the age old tale. Before you continue reading on, if you have yet to read the original article complete with evidence, breakdowns and other interesting things, we suggest that you start there.īetween the time of the original article, things concerning the trikes in question had died down a bit.
We all know that family member or friend who supposedly had one (let's be honest, how many times have you actually heard that), but then ended up being an earlier model. Over the years, machines and parts began appearing on the internet as the internet took off and it was eventually confirmed that many Honda models were sold that year, yet there was and is two models that no one could ever find. Originally, as noted in the original article, it was believed that no 1987 model Honda's were ever released, if ever even built. With very little physical evidence to back their existence, it was clear we had a mission on our hands: to find out what happened to these bikes. However, this articleĬoncerned the same subject, and had a lot of interesting material in it that would question whether or not Honda actually built, shipped and sold both the 1987 250R and 350X.

And we take a look into why that is once again.īack in 2010, a full article was written here on our site and posted to the front page much in the way we've recently done things the past few months. These machines would be the infamous ATC 250R and ATC 350X. While we know that just about every model three wheeler (in regards to Honda specific models) was offered in 1987 including the ATC 125M, ATC 200X, ATC 250SX, the famous Big Reds (which actually made it to production in 1988, though not sold in the United States), there are a few machines that have never gotten so much attention before. Over the last year there has been a multitude of things that have been put up on the internet concerning the existence of 1987 model three wheelers. However, we take a look back into a few special models that never seemed to have rolled off the showroom floor.or did they? Join us as the hunt continues, indulge in the legend and grab a beer while you're at it. Three wheelers have been subject to ignorance and hate for a very long time, and after the infamous Consent Decree in the late '80's, three wheeler production ceased.
