I remember when we were young teens, a friend of mine had the 110 or 125, and after a flood he was riding around, got to the waters edge, hopped off and it floated. He swam it across to the other side of the field where the water was low. I was jealous of him with my XR75

Haven't seen one in years. The ones I remember just looked unstable when being ridden hard. Girl I used to know almost lost her husband to one in the late '70's IIRC..... They were both mid to late 20's at the time. He was out of work a very long time and his back is screwed up permanently. Late 1980's some young guys down the road had one and every time that thing went by it was bouncing like it was gonna go out of control...... It finally did and took out my mailbox doing it..... The kid was thrown clear and flew across the ditch and landed in our front yard. I was at work at the time but I heard he got banged up pretty good but no broken bones. I'd ride one if I had a chance but I damn sure would be taking it slow and easy. I don't trust those things above 10 mph or so.

I'd love to stuff a 520KTM engine in a trike chassis. Permaboner.
My flying machines have the spinning part behind you. It should be little and blue. My permaboner??? Yes and yes on both.

l rolled a Honda 90 with no brakes down a hill and over a rock pile as a kid. Broken Collar bone and major concussion. I didn't blame Honda.

Jumped the driveway on the 200s as a young kid...didn't weigh enough to stick the landing and it started to hobby horse bounce and threw me over the bars. Felt the helmet squeeze sideways on my noggin as the wheeler planted itself on my head. That was a good learning experience.
That was the only motorized wheeled thing I rode as a kid, and ever since, a 4-wheeler doesn't feel right. With the 3 wheeler, your limitations on slopes and turns are clearly communicated to you by the machine...much less so on 4 wheels.

My first machine was a KX60.
So I thought anything with more than two-wheels was pretty stupid. Grin...

irfubar,
Oddly enough, IF you aren't a moron & try to run one FAR faster than "a reasonably normal IQ" would suggest, the Honda 250 is NICE & you wouldn't believe some of the things that we towed around the farm with it.
Ours pulled many a load of livestock feed all over the place, as well as loads of lumber, fencing material, bales of hay, deer stands & other BIG/bulky things.
yours, tex

Tex I feel that you may be confusing a regular old 4 stroke ATC250, or a BigRed with the 250 that Irfubar is describing. The 250r was a two stroke sport bike that was built and bred to go really fast, maybe the original suicide machine. Nobody pokes around and checks fence on an R, they’re geared and tuned to rip it up on motocross trails and in the dunes.

I’m a 4-wheeler guy. A puzzy if you prefer!
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Cousin and I used to race em like demons out on Uncle's asparagus ranch. Good times. He broke a collar bone and I escaped with only bumps and bruises.
Hunted a lot of pheasants on that ranch on the back of one.

TheKid,
It's been a LONG time ago & you may well be 100% correct. - It was likely a 4-cycle, as you didn't have to mix gas/oil. Yes, I know that a FEW 2-stroke engines have NOT used gas/oil "mix")
My Uncle Wayne bought it used for "a song" after it was taken away from a teenaged boy by his dad for "acting stupid".
