Honda ATC 350X Buyer's Guide - Long Version

My 350x was raced and they whilied so much that the rear grab bar is literally scraped off😅

I was falling asleep, did you look at foot pegs, this is for all models if it's jumped alot they will begin to bow downward

Great video. I drove 1hour to look at a 85 350X that smoked, had oil in the muffler, bent rear axle, maier rear fenders, bad seat recover. I passed on that one.

great video, another issue with these 350x is finding a cam if your motor needs one

I have a used oem front brake line hose guide from an 1986 350x if anyone is interested.
Great video. The 350x was my favorite also I wish I still had it.

Definitely the best all around machine, fast, easier to ride with all the torque, great trail machine, nearly started 4 stroke revolution 15 years prior to it. Best all around bike. Has it's issues but nothing major besides a frame that is inadequate from the factory ti handle the ass that motor lays down stock.

Also check on the oil on the super x I built for ya. I've run into several people running 400ex carbs and they pump the throttle too much and eventually a ton of gas ends up in the oil. Danger to look out for.

Thanks for all the good info, here in the Texas Panhandle if you can find a 350x you better buy it no matter the shape. I've been looking for years. Farmers and Ranchers around here like the big reds. Lots of those but usually completely worn out☹️

Great video, I had a shop restoring a 86 that is 95 percent done. After watching this I told him to kick rocks. PS I sent you a. Couple pics a few weeks ago through Instagram or Facebook, don't remember now lol. Thanks again for this video, I am sure now I would have regretted buying that 86. 😀

Where did you get the 250r short track shrouds behind you at the end of the video ?

If you had to pick between a really nice, stock 250R or a very gently used 350X (both are 86’s) which would you pick ? Don’t consider price… just pick the better machine. Go.

I'd like to know which ones should you not get if you are wanting to do wheelies?

You are the Bob Ross of trike videos!

You should do the 84 or 85 Big red buyers guide... probably the most common machine in my area. They are still selling for over $1000 cdn if they run, but can't insure them here so your restricted to private land use.

What do you guys think a 86 and 87 200x are worth, have a nice unmolested 86 and a 87 . 87 needs some correction but not much

Best Honda 3 wheeler I've owned was an 86 350X...they did have a cam issue however.

Is there a way to get a certificate of origin/title for these,a lot of you guys get them and put a lot of money into them,I have 1 lol that I need that here in fl so I can register it to be able to ride in state/federal parks,any of obtaining this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks great video.

I am in the process of looking for a Frankenstein 350x

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you. 🔧

How much for the trx200 ? If for sale

Hey Preston, great video and tons of awesome insight. The 350X was a great machine and I own and ride a few of them regularly. I just disagree that they are "The Best model Honda made" I recognize that this is your opinion and you mention this. As a guy who has seen and rode a lot of these machines I feel that they are more often than not beat and broken due to the lack luster design. (Big Engine in a poorly built chassis) the rear is often broken up as you mention. The little underwhelming tabs welded to the frame to carry the swing arm are often egg shaped and not holding the swinger to the frame properly. When I look at an 86 250R or what Honda did to improve the 200X from 85 to 86 it shows what Honda was capable of. If only we had seen a 2nd Gen 350X, Im sure they would have improved upon the design. I just dont see the 350X as a great candidate for "best model Honda made" due to its major mishaps in the design of the chassis. I love the power of my 350X but think Honda missed it with this one.

This was some really good info. Always appreciate your videos. Keep this series going! Would like to see a 250r and 250es buying guide next

Great, informative video. Love the 350x, but unsure if I’d get much riding in on one at my age to justify paying what people are asking nowadays, like they’re on Barrett-Jackson. By the way, do you ever give your 1988 250R any riding time? I was ‘this close’ to buying a brand new 89 off the showroom floor, but sadly opted for a Blaster instead. I was a poor Sailor in 1989 with two little kids…

I really like all Hondas but I am a real sucker for utility like the 82 to 87 big red.

You are like the Jay leno of honda trikes

Getting close to the end.

Thanks Just got a 1986 200 x totally in pieces now , definitely getting a 350x and a 250r ,probably stop at that lol

Preston, thanks for the shoutout on the swingarm bushings. I really appreciate it. Please reach out if you ever need anything.

I just caught pieces and parts of the video. Will watch again later, did you happen to mention checking the rebound on the suspension. A blown shock or even fork seals can get expensive in a hurry and difficult to come up with.

I want a 350x so badly. Have you ever ridden/owned and Astro 4 wheel conversion 350x or 250r?

200x atc buyers guide?

Love the channel and the collection. What color is the oem 86 rear skid plate supposed to be?

Awesome videos! I don't know if the brake reservior guard on your 350x trike is OEM but I'm nearly positive that Honda offered it as an accessory. I remember seeing it when looking at options for my 200x. I bought it new in 1984 and have owned it since. I've ridden it a lot (and still ride it occasionally), it is in fairly good condition, and it has a few aftermarket parts on it. I still have the original paperwork including the owners manual and Manufacture Certificate of Origin. I love this trike. Thanks for the great videos.

Where did you get that rear grab bar I would like try and put it on my ytm 200e

Forgot to mention the oil pumps on the 85 can be a issue but have to ask would you be interested in buying a showroom oem 1981 Honda atc 250r just got it here a while back it’s super clean and original

Good video, thank you! Went to my local dealer in March 1985 to trade in my 200S for a 200X. The salesman said to look at this '350X'. No previous ads or nothing, they just showed up. After he got it started, I rode a wheelie across the parking lot. We loaded it up and took it home. Great machine!

How much do I think u can get for a atc 200m with no plastics

I used to buy all sorts of fun stuff out of cycle Trader, as the regional rep for central TX I received the books a day early in our warehouse, I would buy them before my books hit the streets. I dith work and go buy bikes, man times were great!!!

Great video thanks for the info. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about an 1986 honda 300 shaft driven? My friends dad had one when I was a kid that we used to ride and I haven't been able to find anything out about them or seen one since then.

It's not abuse. it's called 'riding', and that's what people buy these for is to ride them. And do you own all those three wheelers? You might want to seek some professional help. Just saying. Lol

Wait, I just heard you say " if you plan on riding it". Wtf else are you supposed to do with these, stand there and stare at it??

Guy in Alabama got a nice 200X for $3200 on FB

I know a guy that just bought a nice 350x $8000

Do you have a video for adjusting the decompression cable?

Would you sell any of your 3 wheelers ?

Pick up a 125m today wondering what's the biggest engine Honda did with the hi/low selector like the CT bikes

awsome collection u hit the lottery ? lol grt property too. they made an SX too right?

Where do you get the headlight protector and the tool kit?

Omg man what a beautiful collection u have there

Do you know of a 350X for sale? I just want a rider,and I know, good luck
