Bought a 110 back in my poor as shite days. $695 and no money down. $29 a month. Sold it 4 years later for $600, bought a 185. Thought it was a beast!

We had a 185 bored over to something. Ran like a scalded ape, until it got hot... Then you were stuck for 20 minutes or so till it cooled off.

I had an ATC 110...I would like to know how many thousands of miles I had on it when I sold it. rebuilt the motor twice while I had it...

I still have a few. Local guys have taken to making the atc 70s into little rockets by dropping 500$ pit bike motors on them.
I'm currently looking for an atc 110 or 125m with the long boat seat on it to build off of.
I really want to build one up with a piranha 160 and title it as a 50cc scooter.
Would run 65 and sip gas.
If anyone has a 125m or 110 with the long seat, let me know!

I have a little Honda 70 with a blown motor. I'd love to put a pit bike motor in mine.

The lifan 125 manual will run 45 with a 300lb guy on it.
Runs out of gear before it runs out of oomph.
It'll also make a 700 rhino it's bitch all the way through 40 lol

Still have a 1980 110 and a 1985 250sx. The sx is slowly being restored, the 110 is all original and in great shape except the fuel tank. I would post pics of em but I broke my phone this afternoon 
They run good and I prefer to ride the trikes over my four wheeler any day.

Man that brings back memories!
Had the 110 always wanted the big red.
Got a few scars from hitting trees too.
They were death traps but darn good fun.
Used to ride mine all over Jones Creek / amite river and where bass pro is now.

Had both of these growing up. Loved that 185S. Couldn't kill that thing.

I love the general consensus that they are fun as hell and death traps

I had prices them but my little 70 motor ran fine. Unless you are gonna put some suspension on it a 70 cc was a little small for me to play on. I was looking at Lifan and piranha options

200s and Kee mower checking in

Both great bikes! Just prone to backward flips going up hills. The 185 knocked me out with a shotgun barrel to the forehead, gun was in the front gun rack. The 200 front gun rack broke 4 ribs on my FIL.

That is an exact replica of my old 200S down to the back rack and the Wolly Boogers on the rear.

My brother and I started out on Honda 70s then he got a 110 and I went the motorcycle route. He had a 185s with front suspension. Then he got a 250sx and I got this bad boy.
I quickly found out it sucked in the mud. I would get stuck and my brother would put his in reverse and ride circles around me laughing. Found out then shaft drive was the way to go.

I had a big red when I was about 13-14...........pretty much nothing I didn't put that bike thru. Wheelies.....jumps, mud, floated in deep water.
Sumbitch would go anywhere.

Every injury listed so far is operator error.

Were they really more dangerous than a motorcycle? Learn the limitations of whatever you are driving.
I remember 20/20 doing a story about how dangerous they were. They had one on a steep hillside and they barely lifted up on one of the handgrips and it flipped over sideways. I was thinking yea, do the same test with a motorcycle. It would not of even stood there in the first place. Outlawing 3 wheelers was an early sign of the pussification of America.
Can you imagine the outlawing of horses in the old west because some dumbass got thrown and broke his neck.

I bought a used ATC 90 for $400 in 1977 at 11 years old with mowing money. Thought I was the king of the earth. A few years later, traded up for a 110......rode them both all over Morehouse Parish in a simpler day. Flipped them regularly but luckily never seriously injured. No electric start meant a nightmare to pull crank on a cold morning. Loved those machines and the great times had thereon.
