I take my Honda atc 250r for a top speed run to see just how fast it really goes. Instagram: 2_vintage_ Hoodies and shirts: 2vintagemercha... Thanks for watching and subscribing! New videos every week!
I have a 1985 ATC 250r thats heavily modified and even with significantly higher gear ratio than stock, it goes just over 90, nowhere near 110, its simply doesnt have the power to pull it, especially from the factory that rumor is 110+% busted
It's usually the CDI which limits your revs. A 2 stroke isn't really designed for long periods of wide open throttle if you plan on doing these I would run it rich for a little more protection.
my stock 86 250r. 3wheeler.was 69..or 70..mph back in 1994...never been rebuilt. .it would pull real hard against any banshee back in the day....1 or 2 mph faster then a stock banshee with aftermarket pipes.....mike from minnesota
People dont know...the 2 gen 250r is a 5 speed and not built for high speed!!! Note he said it lifts in ever gear...plus its stock..as for gears i think it sounded fine..take it for a ride where its mint to ride thats where it shines..want a fast banshee eater step to the 3 gen 250r...those that know know what im talking about!!!!
In High school in 1989-91, buddy had a 1986 R. That went over 85 mph, but it was bored .030 over, and he swapped sprockets out for more top speed. He fled a MN State Trooper by exiting the highway onto a logging road, crossing a river, and shutting the bike down haha. Successful evasion! But yeah, it was FAST and deadly!🤣
Always been a fan of the notorious 250R Honda three wheeler.. it's like it's the best of both worlds dirt bike in the front 4 wheeler in the back kind of like a mullet back in the day.. Ha, j/k. Anyway props on the Atc, throw some donuts on that sucker! ✌
@stop reading looks can be deceiving just saying i own 2 of them and that is a weak one mine are top notch tuned by a man that we shall call the wizard if you know you know so yes regular 250rs they are very quick but there is a difference in them depending
Only thing I can say about the air coolers like my 84 model is that I wish it had a six speed transmission. It really could use one, but two strokes are not meant to be ridden at high speed for an extended period of time. The fun is in the quickness! that power band! that is the rush about a two stroke. I don't need to sustain 60 miles per hour for a long period of time.
It probably needs a top end rebuild. I'd like to walk you guys through that procedure. You are skilled enough and it is as simple as changing a tire. Infest in a compression tester . Super cheap at Harbor frieght. Most of these were governed or geared to 78 mph.
the 250rs have no moving parts in the top end, but yes putting rings in every now and then can keep them in good order there is no governor anywhere on this ATC, 80mph is pretty much all this machine can pull without adding horse power, but they do stack power on quickly with modification
I see that's the earlier air cooled version. They got a little better each year. Thank for posting. Always fun to watch. I wish I could do what you do.
Awesome. You should really look into getting a bigger carb. Go with a 34mm from a 85-86 ATC/trx. Full dg exhaust and run 32:1. Honda recommendation is 20:1 but the oils today are way more advanced you don’t need to run it that rich.
So I have a 82. Atc250r and stock it would pull the front wheel off the ground through the gears, it most definitely isn’t running like it should, cuz as I said even stock riding mine through the woods and on the pipe you have to steer it with your body cuz the front wheel doesn’t stay on the ground, unless it’s slick out an u are loosin traction but even still. Now she has a bunch of upgrades
Did you ever get that thing to run like it should? It needs reeds are a carb tune (something). Is compression good on it? All of this has probably been mentioned in comments. I did not read them all. Should quickly go down to a nice idle though. Something wrong.
72? I was thinking 58. Probably way off. My old Big Red pulled a little to one side but unless you have something out of alignment or bent it should track pretty strait. Good luck with the build. Awesome bike.
What else would of helped is the fact your rear axel is bent, I can tell you that from experience I owned on end bent the rear axel it makes a big difference in top speed.
im 14 and have a 450r quad and a big red 250, im hoping to save up and eventually get a sport trike, my uncle has a 85 350x with a 84 xr500 engine in it, hope he revives it one day.
Some kid legit tried to pull some BS like that with my autobody teacher back in HS. I walk into class, second day of school, and I hear this kid saying he ran low 10s with his stock Jetta. I quote "It overboosted to 35psi and blew up after I went through the finish line". I hit him with the "oh, you mean in the 1/8th mile?". And I didn't give at all, kid wouldn't take it, insisting his otherwise stock Jetta ran 10s in the 1/4 mile. I shut him down so hard on it he transfered out of the class two days later. He was the kind to sit in class, second day of school, with his feet up on a chair. I was daily driving a cammed LS swapped 78 Firebird I had at the time, lmao
you could change the sprockets to get a bit more too end. i’d say that was fast enough for what it is. setting psi on tyres might give you another 2-3 mph
It's obvious he doesnt have any experience on a 3wheeler or quad for that matter. If he did he would never put his feet down on the ground. Not even when you stop or to climb off. Your feet just stay on the pegs. Now let's talk about shifting... you suck. I dont know what it will take for you to understand about all of this. You shifting sucks in all your videos. It's cool you have a love for dirt bikes and vintage stuff and I appreciate that you make videos to a certain extent, but you have to expect comments like mine because I know you dont really know....lots of things. Sorry, not sorry
@Blair Joseph I have an 86 for sale way to much to list but comment I will give you my contact info you think the one ob the video is pretty looking and fast you won't believe mine let me know
Exactly. He needs to have a collection and dont sell them and than sell the other toys he gets. Idk if I had money like him I would make a sick collection lol
I just bought me a 200x and a 250r the 250 needs a new cdi the 200 needs rear shock know any places around south/north carolina that sells parts for them
75 was all they had in liquid cooled. 81 was top speed for the older air cooled with balloon tires. 45 hp can only do so much. The 350x could barely do 85...your motor was dead...its supposed to wind out to 10 grand. A 250 EX 4 stroke can do 65
Stock 1983-84 250r atc top speed is 65 mph ///a stock 1985-86 honda 250r 76mph//// stock 1984-85 kawasaki tecate 70mph////stock 1986-87 tecate 250r atc 80mph/////This atc is just about right for a stock 250r but it shakes or wobbles flat spot tires?/bent rim?/bad wheel bearings?/Bent front fork?/
Something is very wrong with that thing. My bone stock 86 would scare you. You gotta use a little common sense buddy. When you pulled out without gloves to do a top speed test, I thought, hmmmm snow on the ground, top speed test, hes gonna freeze his hands lol. Aa long as u didnt forget your helmet. Anyways nice 250R. Once you get her figured out, you'll fall in love with it. Now i gotta find ur quadzilla videos
You just noticed that about how a road is designed? It’s called a crown in the road. It’s designed like that so the rain will shed off evenly to each side of the road edge and not lay on the road. Who keeps dishing out the cash for you to buy these junkers? Are you going to live at home with mom forever?
Nope As a matter fact dirt wheels did not do TopSpeed only three wheeling magazine which changed into Atv sports had top speed in the specs. A bone stock 250 R of that vintage off the lot will go no faster than 68 the 85/86 had the top speed of 71
That's about right bad ass crs from then did about the same it's the gearing any faster is pointless in a race at a track and that's what it's made for
