Who knows about these things? Friend's dad picked them up not long ago and we didn't know much about them. All I knew was that they quit making 3-wheelers a long time ago. Didn't know if they were worth anything or worth trying to fix up or what

Big Red!!!
We used to float these up and down the Sabine River.
They can be fun. Not very fast and the suspension is lackluster. -
All I know about them is damn near everyone I know who has a story about them involves broken limbs.Comment

Don't ever try to go for big air. Broken collar bones were quite common as an end result.Comment

I've got a Big Red 200, and a Big Red 185. 86 and 85 model respectively. I've also got an ATC70.
Unless it's an R model (those aren't), they aren't worth shit. As others have said, the suspensions suck. Because they don't exist (except on the R models). It's all rigid. They are dangerous as hell, but they can be fun. Just don't push them to do things they can't do, like jumps. I've wrecked mine many, many, many times, and never had any really serious injuries. I've had to get stitches a few times though. And I know a lot of poeple that have really fucked themselves up on them.
If he's interested, I'd sell both of my larger ones.Originally posted by BradMOriginally posted by LeahComment

Running in fair shape I'd say $4-500 at most. A farm or ranch would use it. I rode a big red 200 for a while that we bought wrecked off a buddy, he hit a car with his sister on the back and bent the frame and broke his sisters leg. Bought a good frame off another another friend to make it a rideable trike again. We sold it to a ranch for @ $400 years ago. They are a lot of fun if you respect them and don't push them past there limits and use as stated above.Comment

Put V-8s in both of them. Fun for the whole family."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment

Shit, I did a superman on mine, but when I landed the frame snapped just below the front fork area haha.Originally posted by Snatch Napkin View Post"You don't so much drive it, more like poke it with a sharp stick and channel the fury when you piss it off."

Go back to the pond it looks like they were sitting at the bottom of & see if you can find the missing parts.Ronald Reagan:"Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

Throttle broke on mine when I was a kid, just as I was going around a tree, near a bob-wire fence. Crashed into it, I had to be cut out and still have a scar on my leg from it.
After that it was four wheelers or dirt bikes.
