I was looking at buying a Honda 1985 200's and was wondering how reliable they are. I plan on just riding it in the creek and around the hunting property. Thought it may be fun.

If it's a chain driven wouldn't waste my time, if it's got a drive shaft yes they're good machines

The old Hondas are bulletproof.

A good 3 wheeler is the best deep woods ATV ever.

I had a '85 Honda 125 that was the best atv made. I had more fun on that than 15k side-by-sides.

Pops has the somewhat rare 1986 ATC 125 which was a completely different rig than the '85.

That machine has the perfect transmission. Fantastic gear ratios and precise shifting.

Funny story.............my big red had a lock on the steering........so I thought it's be a good idea to lock it to the left and do some donuts.............did not end well for me.

When Josey was 5 he and his mom at mall came across school fundraiser selling raffle tickets for Honda 110. He had to sit on it so mom bought tics for next day drawing. She got call next day for him saying he won. She said he's only 5. Lady asked if that was cute little blond blue eyed boy from day before. It was and he and I rode lots of miles with him in front.
