ATC 250R IN CRATE FULL
Donut’s Jeremiah and Nolan put those weaknesses on full display with a gamut of pertinent yet amusing tests. Honda’s particular design only magnifies those shortcomings. If you’ve ever ridden a trike, you know the stability and steering issues that plague the vehicles. Nearly 40 years later, it looks like the CPSC’s long-standing ban couldn’t stop popular YouTube channel Donut Media from getting their hands on one of Honda’s notorious three-wheelers.
These efforts further discouraged bootleg 250Rs from hitting the trails. The agency forced sellers to yank engines from the remaining ATC stock and chop their frames in half. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to strike a deal with manufacturers to cease production and sales of three-wheeled ATVs-including the infamous Honda ATC 250R.ĬPSC wasn’t satisfied with dealers just removing units from showroom floors, though. By 1986, high accident reports and resulting litigation forced the U.S. The ATC underwent two massive updates during that four-year period, earning Pro-Link suspension, fuel delivery tweaks, and a six-speed gearbox in the process.Īll those upgrades couldn’t improve the off-road trike’s sketchy safety record, unfortunately. Stuffed with an air-cooled, 248cc two-stroke single, the thumper would earn liquid cooling and a reduced 246cc capacity by 1985.
Big Red introduced the ATC 250R as the first high-performance three-wheeled ATV in 1981.
