I know some will wonder why, but Ive always loved these bikes and when this guy came up for sale I had to have it.

Its in as good of condition as any Ive seen unrestored. Everything works and it cranks without having to apply the choke.

I'm jealous. Did you buy that from a guy in SW Miss? I've been looking for one exactly like that for the last few months. Anything nice sells quickly if it's priced decent.

Man, that is awesome! I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid. I remember when that was the most powerful ATV made!

My dads is in his shed. Been there a few years. My son in law wants to get it running again. Shouldn't take much to have it going soon

Still running an 1984,200. Think it was the first batch of electric starts. Has reverse. Choke not needed. Cranks right up

Them old bikes just knew how to run. Wake up on the coldest mornings at the camp, walk out and turn the key on and press the start button. It would sit there and purr until I was ready to go. I really like my current bike, 04 Kodiak, but nothing has the running manners of those old Big Reds

Nailed it. It really makes you love them, they just purr.

As opposed to trying to pull start a 200 on a cold morning. Damn compression would lock up and pull your fingers off!!

Dad had one when I was little. I'd love to get one for nostalgia sake, but I don't want to severely injure or kill myself
