I had one. Throttle stuck one time wide open. Luckily i was in a field and it just skinned me up some. Glad I wasn't on the gavels. Had a briggs and stratton pull start engine on it.

no, but had one of each of these. the 250r was scary fast. the 350x ran pretty damn good, too. the 400ex (last pic) put me in the hospital . . . jumping 12' in the air without a helmet isn't a very good idea.

Herdman, did you get if from Sears?



A TBI explains a lot about you.

I occasionally see a Big Red ATC200 for sale. That 250R was the end of the line...the government said fvck no soon after that was released.
lost an entire day of my life over that one, can't remember shit. woke up at my then girlfriend's house (a nurse) the following day and asked her who the hell she was and where in the hell i was at. the expression on her face was priceless.

she says that was the day i stopped maturing and got caught in some off the wall time warp that disallows me to act my age.

and, yeah, that 250r was frickin' nasty. cr250r dirt bike engine thrown in a 3 wheeler. insane.

We bought it from a guy my parents knew.
 
I had one of those, looked just like that one except it was red. Mine was mail order from now defunct company called Alden’s. Those things would beat you to death! No shock absorbency at all. But I had an absolute blast with that thing! Mine was 3 1/2 hp Tecumseh engine.
 
Wiped out on one of these one time:

Slid it up under my Poppaw's parked Ford Bronco. When I went under, I didn't have the helmet on very tight and it knocked it off my head. My mom was watching out the kitchen window and thought I'd been decapitated. :eek:

I have owned two Honda Trail 70's, Yamaha Enduro 175, Suzuki RM 80, Two Kawasaki KX125's. Rode I don't know how many three and four wheelers, Honda 350x and 250R. 250R was crazy, 350X was ok but more sluggish, 4 stroke I remember. Never really cared for the 3 and 4 wheelers other than using a 4 wheeler to take hunting.

Rode I don't know how many MX bixes. Scariest was a Honda CR480. That SOB was wild. Had a left side kick start. Compression was insane. Also rode a KX450, heavy SOB but the CR480 was more of a best on the top end.
