I say that atcs should be safer by safer i mean more weight of the body to keep from roll overs and there should be special saftey gear for them

Still have my original 84' Honda Big Red 200es i had from when i was a kid. Still fires up easy and has never been rebuilt. Never broke a bone or had any serious injury from it. The things a pig, but still a blast, just got to know how to ride them.

I had one of these and had a blast! Very under powered but a blast none the less. Crazy when you look back at older times the things we were able to buy and do lol. Probably why each generation before had a bit more grit.

i loved my honda 200 big red when i was a kid.... flipped it more then i can count

Jeremy Clarkson of the Moto world. Keep up the good work my friend.

A video shot this good should be illegal!

I figured out how to bail out and lived! 10-11yrs old, I was going 40+ down a gravel road. My entrance came up too quick and I couldn't make the turn, and clear the fence. I dismounted and prepared for impact. Bike hit the fence pole at the entrance and flipped 10 times. I went flying and had a ouchie shoulder for a few years.

I fucking love 4-wheeled ATVs, sadly due to me living in Mississauga, they are banned. But luckily I have 35 cousins up in Sault Ste Marie and they all have ATVs, the Soo has 300miles of Sanctioned, inspected and signed off-road trails within city limits alone, used only by ATVs and Snowmobiles

Those were nice bikes but so unstable, had a friend that got killed on one that had a quick throttle instead of thumb throttle... I crashed a few and also hard to get away from... But I was a motocross racer... Loved balancing on the front and side tires..

Where did you get all those "TV" clips XD god what the hell.

i still got one

They should have never allowed them in the first place.

Always the best videos. I’m dying over here !! 😂

Was not "Banned by the US Government" It was a consent decree between manufacturers

love that shirt!

Ironically, my first introduction to motorcycling was on an ATC! They were the Suzuki Samurai of off road vehicles!

Must be your first time

Guy cracks me up. Good videography.

We rode the Honda 250R Yamaha Tri z 250 and Kawasaki Tecate 250 . Those two strokes were beast and blast to ride back in the 80s . Should have kept them. Crazy what they sale for now. Also wish I never sold my 1987 Suzuki LT 500R QuadZilla.

I think I crashed mine when I was kid in every way you described. Then i got a "safer" dirt bike and I still crashed....but now at a faster speed. To be honest I never really like three wheelers...they did tip easy but I did think the government trying to ban them was dumb. It was just people trying to blame someone else for bad decisions and poor riding skillls

So blame the manufacturers and not the person at fault for mistreating these machines. Sounds like modern day america to me.

love how the first two comments are about girlfriends and ex-wives

i got an ATC 70 when i was a kid, and only fell off it a few times thrashing it around the fields and never rolled it at speed, you absolutely have to steer from the rear, and lean like you're carving a snowboard. the most dangerous thing i used to do was rev it and dump it in first to wheelie, the semi auto was great for that but it used to catch out my friends would try... I still have it and plan to make it road legal (now im late 30s). they are super expensive over here in the UK

My first and favorite video

I’ve had multiple in my life so far and never had an accident. Had a 200es, 200m and a 125m. Ride it like a dumbass your gonna have dumbass consequences.

My dad would talk about these things and how they were banned. Things sounded so crazy

Got cute. Narrowly escaped death a few times on mine.

I had a Honda Big Red. I only put my foot down once... Ouch.

1985 Honda 250R

I opened up a 1986 350X many times in the desert. I was about 13 years old, 90lbs. Respect for a motorized vehicle is important. Had a friend become quadriplegic because he was drinking and riding. 1985 250R ( That ATC was fast f&@k!)

Needs shocks

Nobody cares about me so I don’t really care

Banned here in New Zealand also. Too many deaths. Haven't been sold since 1997.

Damn it Canada is so beautiful

I was a kid who rode one of these in the 70s. It pretty much throws off or rolls over any kid that tries one within the first 5 minutes. You were just expected to get up and keep riding. Looking back I can’t believe they let kids ride these. I was ran over by one, flipped over backwards on one, rolled down a hill tumbling with one, and flipped over sideways countless times. All the while without protective gear and surrounded by trees, rocks, and fallen branches. If you consider a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan had less than a 6% chance of being hospitalized or killed during their tour but a ATC rider had a 30% chance during the time owning one..., it puts how dangerous these things are in perspective.

A 350 ATC just showed for sale up on Farcebook here in the UK. A US import of all things. The comments are full of a mixture of "You're gonna die!" and "If you know what you're doing you might live".

I was essentially born on, and likely conceived on a trike :p. IIRC the trike was my primary mode of transport from age 4 or 5 till 12. Honestly never felt at all unsafe. I drove like a complete asshole with only one small accident. Like all things, idiots goona idiot. Trikes are so light that you can roll them safely without being crushed. Pretty near all my friends at the time also had trikes, and no serious injuries. It wasn't till they were banned and we all had to "upgrade" to quads, 3-5x the mass, that kids started getting hurt.

just have to know how to ride em. They got banned because people put 10 year old kids on one of the fastest recreation vehicles ever built, the 250r.. this was the start of the "sue me" culture when people stopped taking responsibility for their own actions.

grew up on these, horses, tractors, cars etc. as much as i enjoyed them sadly yea they were very tippy. even just doing regular farm work they were top heavy no suspension added to the roll overs. rolled it with my grandpa on back we going 2-4 mph just fixing fence.. ........ sloped hill hit a badger hole on high end on back went right over. it rolled few times down the hill. neither of us were hurt again such slow speeds. i think grandpa just stood up and walked offf and picked me up as it went down the hill. still though

If you'r to stupid to know how to ride it, you should probably just stay in the house.

Sooooo right.. absolute piece of 💩 nearly pulled the skin off my calf muscles and worse than a bucking bronco

As you pointed out, the manufacture's "volunteered" to remove three wheelers. They were not banned by the government. Granted, they were being shown what will happen to them IF they refused, but they still agreed to remove these evil machines and the Consent Agreement was born. It has long since expired, but manufactures still follow the agreement to this day.

My 4 year old cousin was killed on a 3 wheeler. They are fun to ride. Especially something like a 250R but always a little sketchy

This video made me laugh too hard

Haha this is pretty fucking dumb to buy ur kid these if u don't fall in white sands

Bunch of sissys. That's a mans machine. The good old banshee killer

I was lucky to be able to buy one at 18 I'm 20 now and the ytm225dx has to be my favorite machine to ride

Kudos to whoever does your lighting and cinematography

Another classic fucked by the government

Use to have one it was great never had an issue it was a newer model with suspension and stuff

5:15 This is gold! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just saw one yesterday at the offroad park. He got stuck immediately in mud

This dude is creepier than the trike.😳

Australia has now stopped selling quad bikes. Halo safety bar mandatory. Manufacturers (All of em) have lost interest $$. Prices of used models skyrocketed. ! Just saying. There's some relevance here.. :0)

I grew up with one of these, very sketchy but fun as heck! What don't kill you makes you stronger! lol

It’s never the tool it’s the user using it U less your tool is a 1990 phone then yes it’s the tool but you don’t see a gun point itself to a person then shoot 😳😐

Think like a kardashian 💀

We all had a couple. They were a blast. Known a few that had been killed. Know a few that has been injured for life. Gotta say the same about 4 wheelers and dirt bikes also though.

Only 800 deaths that’s it man cars have killed more people than that

Nice video, but I am a little confused - the figures for injuries and deaths you show at 10.19 is headed "Quad Accidents 2005", implying that these figures are for Quads rather than just the three-wheeled ATV. Are there any figures for three-wheeled ATVs alone? Also, are these figures just for the USA, or worldwide?

Awe man should have got a 250R got something with power

wish they still made them awsome off road machine

i worked in MC industry - i go read documents from trial - honda not good - so they made 4 wheelers - slightly less body crushing machine -

5:07 🤣

All those thumbs down?? Who knew that many Kardashian fans also watched FortNine? 😝

When everyone has high praise for JDM, I point to this trash. Couldn't just put the two wheels in the front...

Or just, get a car....

Just put a slightly longer fork on the front,with a little more rake: problem solved!

Still want one

They're still popular as ever here in newfoundland

I remember riding my dad's 3 wheel ATC in the late 70s and early 80s....I had loads of fun...

This deserves many more views :)

We rode these a lot back in the day, and flipped them quite a few times. Luckily we didn't get killed!

a bad idea yes............no different from many things.......not suitable for children. As adults we can make more informed and experienced decisions on risk..........so we can manage things like heavy machines,firearms,cars,alcohol and trikes/quads/bikes. Now some adults cant do anything competently, but thats what natural selection is for..........that also applies to adults who cant supervise or care for children competently..........their children will die also, so that the world is not over run with imbeciles anymore than it is already. Great video, on the issues that affect trikes ))

Five hundred bucks? Now they call them UTVs or Side by Sides, charge upwards of $30,000 and more, and they flip, somersault with the best of them.

I remember buying one of these as a kid. Bought it from a guy down the road for $50. It was so fun! Get it stuck in a mud hole you can just push it out. I used to balance it on two tires and right around on it too!

Well I somehow survived a 250r 3 wheeler 🤣

This is not what I was expecting when I clicked on this video.

I have had 12 bikes over my lifetime. We bought a 85 Honda 200X off the show room floor. Along with an XR500. That 3 wheeler was fun but deadly. We were in Southern Ca. I took a friend out once we were both 13 years old. He road the 3 wheeler. He hit a rut. Front and right rear tire went in the rut. The bike stopped instantly. He held on to the bars. And snapped his arm right above the wrist. I was taught how to crash. Let go of the bike and create some distance between you and the bike. Well my friend was not taught how to crash. That video is dead on. You had to ride the hell out of those bikes and then they were a blast. Nothing like the Cr480, but what is.

Drive it like you stole it and let the booty bounce. Easy to drive if you sit on the gas tank. I was 3 when i started driving these. That machine never hurt me. I hurt it and myself on it. Fun Times.

I bought a used Honda 200X ATC in 1997 and welded a skid plate for the rear which allowed a wheelie but not a "12 O'clock". Loved it and have never liked Quads with their garden tractor steering. Incredible video.

I thought the beginning was a John Deere commercial

5:57 what a trip

It’d be cool if you did a video on the Honda trx400

Tell me you don't know how to ride a ATC without telling me you don't know how to ride one.

People would put their foot down like turning on a motorcycle and get their foot sucked in by the back tire. It happened to me as a kid. 😎👍

When I was a kid you could have these. Neighbors kids had a 4 wheeler, I hit a pile of railroad ties at full tilt, over the bars head first. I had a helmet on. I'm still here. Make your kids wear a helmet.

I had 2 3 wheelers, 2 dirt bikes and a go cart growing up as a child from the time I was about 6 till I was 18. I've rode crotch rockets and motorcycles for 45 years. As I grew older I just moved on to more dangerous things. Now I drive an 800HP car. I wonder which is more dangerous?

Drove many 3-wheelers growing up. Biking them up on 2 tires was just plain fun. Honestly don't recall ever rolling one, because you knew they were unstable. Rolled my 4-wheeler plenty on full send though.

"but the children!!!"' It's amazing we made it this far. Sad we think we can legislate danger out of our lives. No more fun to be had!

I have a 125m just like the one you were driving

I had one.. needless to say I'm not dead. Just saying.

"ATC demands serious riders.... we sent in children" LMFAO

Honda did a good job on giving me the best child hood

I've had mine for 2 years and have never crashed and I ride it like a crazy mf

It's easy to ride if you actually know how to ride a 4 wheeler or dirtbike

Bro wtf ....do a remake with a 200 or bigger ...your completely wrong ...this dumb bruh...I have a 200s and this says the opposite of what it is....if your an experienced rider you should know how to handle something like this

My family had a Honda 185S rode the shit out of it, takes some getting used to but we all survived, another great video!

It’s the balloon tires

Death trap
