The Honda ATC 250R 3-wheel motorcycle is the world's most dangerous vehicle and has been banned by the US government. So, we bought it and put it through 3 tests: rollover, hill climb, and jump. Pray for Jeremiah.

@snakehorn Год назад

The real problem with ATCs was people not understanding that you have to swing your body to either side to counter balance the bike. Staying neutral on an ATC is gonna create instability, an experienced rider knows that. That’s where so many inexperienced riders got hurt because the manufacturers and dealers didn’t explain proper riding position to customers.

@redwetjet67 Год назад

i grew up on 3 wheelers. 1st 3 wheeler was a 1983 Honda ATC 110 then a 1986 Polaris Scrambler 250R/ES 3 wheeler that my dad bought new and i still own. Leaning/weight distribution is essential to 3 wheeler operation

@thebigun. Год назад

yep.

@MrEliasdl Год назад

I used to think the same thing until I rode my dirtbike with someone who actually knew how to ride a three wheeler. You have to get the back end to break traction by using the throttle and weight distribution. We were trail riding and he was as fast as a dirtbike. It was impressive.

The true issue with this bike was parents bought them for their kids, and sent them off unsupervised. They thought, " Oh it has three wheels so they wont tip over." I rode and raced these for decades and still have one. We drift them and wheelie in every direction. Never got hurt on a 3 wheeler.

I survived 25 years of riding a 1985 Honda 200M. That butterflies in the tummy thing when it gets squirrely is similar to the feeling you get when the backhoe starts to tip over. I miss my ATC. Always hillclimb in heavily wooded areas. The trees will stop the tumbling ATC reducing the distance you need to walk to retrieve it.

@garynumen13 Год назад

As someone that drove these things - high performance ones - for years and loved them I can say, the major problem was that people tried to ride them like motorcycles. That will mess you up in a hurry. The methodology for moving these around in space is totally different. BUT, once you understand that, man, you have a much larger contact patch with the ground, and you counter steer while power sliding through the curves. Such a blast. I spent a large percent of the time down beside the engine on the inside of the curve with the rear wheels spinning and sliding. It was drifting before drifting was cool. P.S. if you 250 would only do 38 mph, something was wrong.

My cousin and I rode a 250R back in the day. He had it for a couple years. What we found was every time we rode it, we would find a new way to fall off and no matter what it roll over top of us. Fall off the front, side, back it didn’t matter. The other thing I noticed was your seems to have upgraded, quad style tires. The originals were more balloon like and were super susceptible to different air pressures. With a slow leak one side would be significantly larger than the other causing it to want constantly turn. Fun!!! Yeah! Sketchy as hell defiantly.

Used to hunt with these and lived across from a gravel pit in Alaska. Best times in my life were memories from launching one of these off a gravel hill. These and snow machines omg never forget them

@rowancucanic Год назад

I grew up with two Honda 200 ATCs and several friends had them too. We converted nine acres of hilly land in IL into a big three-wheeler trail labyrinth, hauling ass between oak trees and up insane hills, creek beds and cliffs edges. For six years or so we rode like maniacs and nobody got hurt one time ever. You learn how the bike works, how to shift your weight, how to jump and land...it was a blast. It boggles my mind that these things scare young people now. Or really, it doesn't boggle my mind if I'm being honest.

@Dirtywhtboy87930 8 месяцев назад

I had Honda 200’s as well. Never got hurt, always hauled ass, wide open or nothing. As long as you don’t ride over your ability to ride, you shouldn’t be getting hurt. On the other hand, I’ve seen some dumbassess go balls to the walls being stupid and getting in a wreck.

@shaunjulian8062 8 месяцев назад

@philanders3705 7 месяцев назад

My son is into 3 wheelers. He had a couple big reds and currently has a 200x. He knows the machine's dangers, limitations and how to ride them. The worst thing about them is the suspension, or lack thereof, making it impossible to keep pace with modern bikes. Sure they can be dangerous in the wrong hands, but I believe the ban was a lot of fear mongering to make room for the new 4 wheeler tech that was just invented.

@NathanBuildsRobots Год назад

I think the trike can mislead drivers. You see the front wheel and think you can do things that you can do on a motorcycle, like put your foot down in the side, ride between some narrow obstacles, or lean into a corner, but any of those maneuvers are likely to get you hurt on this thing. So the issue is psychological, in addition to all of the problems with the vehicle dynamics.

@EliasC425 Год назад

I grew up ridding a honda big red from 8 years old, one of the most fun bikes ive ever been on. Also the most dangerous lol.

@deatheragefarms Год назад

@@EliasC425 That was the other big danger: because of the small size of these trikes, people would let children ride them. Children, as you may know, are REAL STUPID and have effectively no capacity for risk assessment, so all the design features of the trikes that make them dangerous for adults are actually magnified.

@hedonist2104 Год назад

I think the inherent unstable vehicle dynamics has way more to do with it than people's psychology and people subconsciously thinking they're on a motorcycle...

@ssenssel Год назад

A lot of ppl buying trikes then came from dirt bike riding and they assumed the same rules of riding would apply hence so many accidents. Even riding it "properly" is still sketchy given the low center of gravity, short rear axle and fat bouncy tires.

@antikz3731 Год назад

What's wrong with all of you? you drive it like a 3 wheeler and theres no issue. if someone let kids ride it before they were capable thats on them. And if you think youre on a motorcycle you shouldnt be operating any motorized vehicle. If you arent aware of your surroundings you're a risk to yourself and everyone else around you. Seriously people that cant use their brain shouldnt have been the issue for their demise. I've owned at least 3 of these maybe 4 (not a racing model like this) and have NEVER rolled one or crashed because of it being a trike. I also drove it properly and leaned the opposite direction of my turns, threw my body back and forth to distribute weight etc. You need to be shown how to ride first if you can't figure out how to properly drive one. That may have been the biggest problem was zero documentation on riding them. Because i know at least 2 of mine had a sticker saying NO riders under 18 unsupervised. That could be a Canadian thing too though. My point being is don't knock them if you havent experienced all they have to offer. They are very versatile and are great in plenty of scenarios.

@JoeR203 Год назад

A friend had a Kawasaki 3 wheeler with a Tecate race motor. That thing was quick. He let his other friends ride it on pavement and they didn't realize you had to lean into the turns. They'd turn the handlebars and the thing just kept pushing forward. Of all the motorcycles I've ridden, that was the only one I ever dumped. We were taking turns doing a steep hill climb. We all dumped it. I remember falling backwards and bracing my feet on the pegs and monkey flipping it over me so it wouldn't land on me.

@fabneon23 Год назад

I grew up in Wyoming and had a three-wheeler. We would ride around with 3 of us on it (the rider at the back definitely had to be careful not to get their leg stuck under one of the rear tires). We also tied an old tractor inner tube to it during the winter and pulled each other around in the snow. Lots of great memories from my three-wheeler.... May it rest in peace wherever it is now.

@nzdobbs Год назад

Most people we had on 1 trike was 5. We were going from camp to camp. And we had a small hill to climb. And we were drunk, every last one of us. That small hill was 3 times bigger that night I'm certain. Made it to the top with 4 of us. 1 was sacrificed on the way to save the others. Good times....

@talenvongunden8112 Год назад

The biggest thing that helped make these machines more stable and I always felt fairly comfortable on them was by adding 3-in hub extenders to the rear. the 250R already was wider than the rest of the machines. And had the flat sport tires which also helps. However in this video it looks like that 250r is narrower than normal. The most dangerous situation with the three wheelers no matter how wide they are though is breaking while turning while also heading downhill that thing's going to roll in a 45° angle every time if you're not super super careful

@GriogharThomasBaldwin Год назад

The day I bought one of these as an adult was prime time fun. I regularly had my 250R up on two wheels working through rough terrain. You learned just how dangerous the trike is, it’s limitations, and you either exploited them (I could trail ride into places 4-wheelers couldn’t because the third wheel could be maneuvered about), or you learned safe ways to bail. You also let out air from the front wheel when jumping so you didn’t have a bouncing balloon on the front if there was any height to be had. All that said: there’s no WAY kids should ever have had those things. They’re death machines if you don’t respect them, and even when you do, you run the risk of them jumping up and biting you if you misjudge something. Happily sold mine after a summer of fun. Warned the buyer to be careful. No regrets.

My dad has, and still occasionally rides, a street registered Honda '85 250R in Gallatin County, Montana. We've both driven it on iced roads numerous times. I saw people doing insane things with 1984+ Honda 250R's and Kawa Tecate 3's in the mid 80's. Hillclimbs & motocross style jumps that would've required these video creators to bring multiple pair of drawers just to watch. Windy Point/Whitewater + Edom Hill in the Palm Springs area back when you could still ride them. The song "Everybody wants to rule the world" by Tears for Fears filmed guys out at Windy Point for part of their MTV video. I started riding the 250R when I was 10. Never had any accident of any kind on it to this day. If you're taught how to properly ride these and know the limits of the machine, they not only haul azz but are rewarding and fun to ride. Taking a 4th gear turn faster than the "top speed" in this video with the upper half of your body leaning off the bike, drift controlling the steering while applying the right amount of throttle to keep the back tires performing just how they should is bliss. The guy driving in this vid sounds like he is at half throttle/wrong gear most of the time. 38 MPH top speed = you missed the last 3 gears the bike still has in the transmission?

Love it when you hit a bump with 1 back wheel, and as the wheel lifts you see another coming on the other side, so keep the throttle wide open and let it tip you back to level. Like any bike, if it goes west - bail!! Worst injuries - gravel rash on hands, burns from exhaust, injured pride! Scariest accident - another rider went up a bank I wouldn't have and went over backwards, didn't bail and fell about 3 meters with the bike landing on him. Nothing broken, but he was 1 big human sized bruise. A quad would have been heavier and done more damage. Funniest accident - Got out of hand in some sand dunes, gave up and bailed. Went off the back, my feet hooked the handle bars, bike settled and I came out of the dunes, flat on my back looking like I was steering with my ankles. Lean out for slow turns, lean in and slide the back wheels on fast turns, never forget those back wheels are gonna hit things your front wheel won't. Respect the risks, go have fun!! But if you think it's dangerous, that's fine, more bikes for me!!

Yeah these were banned in the states in 88. But that just meant manufacturers could no longer sell them. You could still buy parts and could still sell them on the secondary market. Nearly 35 years later there are still quite a few of these out in the wild. A quick check of FB marketplace shows there are about 15-20 within a couple hundred miles of where I live.

@kevinbreese5739 5 месяцев назад

That's a 1984 ATC 250R, I had the exact same trike growing up, when I was 17 years old. Rode the shit out of the thing, and never had an issue, you just have to know how to move your body weight from side to side when cornering and fully up front when going up a hill, as well as being able to work the clutch, throttle, shifter, and brakes properly, and most importantly understanding and making adjustments for when that 2-stroke powerband kicks in. Can be challenging but It's a ton of fun. It just requires a lot of common sense which, unfortunately, many people lack. On another note, the best ATC of all time is the 1986 ATC 250R...added liquid cooling and more power, etc, etc, and just a gorgeous vehicle. Still to this day, the best looking ATV/ATC of all time. I owned one a few years ago, and decided to sell it, but damn I miss it.

@bensmith5651 Год назад

This whole video reminded me of a story my dad told me. Back in 1992-93, he was 17, and had this friend, Robby. Robby had a Yamaha Banshee, and him and my dad “lightly” modified it. By lightly I mean it was fast enough to easily kill you. So them, and two other guys drove out to this farm dirt road to test it. And the end of this road was a county road that ran a T past it, so a three way intersection. They set up some chairs, and chilled on the side of the county road, and corner of the dirt road. Their buddy got on, drove down the dirt road, and they thought nothing of it, they’d been doing it all day. So they heard their buddy riding back, flat out, I mean flying, mach chicken. The problem was, he wasn’t letting off, due to him miscalculating where the end of the road was. So at the end of this road was the county road, like I said earlier, and a ditch that ran parallel to the county road and pasture off to the side of the county road. Their buddy flew past the county road, over the ditch and rolled into the pasture. Ended up with a broken arm and a few cracked ribs. So the other guys took him to the ER, while Dad and Robby stayed behind, within 30 minutes, they had the Banshee running again, and Robby was back out riding it like nothing happened. He now owns a shop and is a reputable mechanic, known for being able to rebuild a transmission faster than you can tell him what’s wrong.

@scottburke1078 Год назад

Yeah, so much so that he rode it incorrectly on purpose in order to make three wheelers seem dangerous. When steering a three wheeler you shift you weight over the steer tire and lean to the inside. That puts your weight over the steer tire so it bites, and off the drive tires so they slide. You do this because the drive axle has no differential. The owners manual of all three wheelers tell you this. And when going up a steep hill like that you definitely put your weight over the front tire. Jerry is an experienced enough rider to know that. But the point of this video was to make them look dangerous so he rode it wrong intentionally.

Not that many people died. It's exaggerated.

@@TheSuperBoyProject the issue is how easy it is to get injured compared to EVERYTHING ELSE close to it (dirt bikes, 4 wheelers, etc)

@benrafter6078 Год назад

@@marcusborderlands6177 not true by any means. More people die in sxs and dirtbikes annually than people ever died on trikes. Trikes went away because Americans blamed the machine, not their lack of judgment and skill. The end

I had gokart growing up. Had friends with 3 wheelers and dirt bikes. A couple of three wheeler roll overs and one or two bike laydowns through the years but the most flipped, rolled, crashed and mangled thing was the gokart.

This really feels like a vehicle you give to someone and tell them, "Don't be stupid, stupid."

@chriswilhelm1256 Год назад

Great video! Growing up we had this exact 3-wheeler and the Big Red version. This one is way easier to flip (or do tricks on!) than the big red which has some suspension components. I almost got severely injured on that one many times, however, the machine that put me in the hospital was a dirt bike. Any machine is dangerous if you ride it like a maniac like I always did.

No, doesn’t the 250r have suspension and the big reds did not along with being shaft driven

@cobymortin1091 Год назад

I have a big red also and I love it its very capable off road

Yeah this machine seriously put a damper on my childhood. I was doing BMX and getting ready to get into dirt bikes when one of my mom's friends kids lost like six teeth in front in a three-wheeler accident.
