The shame of it was the trike wasn’t to blame, as the fault was more fairly placed on the shoulders of the parents who gave kids an adult machine without proper training and the salespeople who gleefully took their money. Three-wheelers like this one were dragged across the evening news, while frightened parents wondered if they should revisit little Billy’s Christmas wish list.

Roll-overs were common, whether from climbing up steep grades and having all weight shift to the rear, already anchored with huge, all-terrain tires or due to the driver being too light to shift their weight from side to side as a sort of counter-balance. Death among children and other inexperienced riders soared, as the three-wheeler was anything but a predictable handler. The ATC was the answer to that gap in the lineup, but the results that followed were nothing short of disastrous. The snowmobile business may have been brisk between October and April, but not outside of those dates. When Honda unveiled the three-wheeler, it was an answer to dealerships asking for a money-maker they could sell in the winter and the summer. Find this ATC 110 here on Facebook Marketplace with an asking price of $2,000. Then, there’s the general trend for everything from the 80 coming back into style. Values have been climbing for seemingly all of the 70s and 80s Honda trail bikes, from the CT70 to the ATCs, and understandably so: they’re overbuilt like every Honda product, and nothing much out there exists with this combination of three wheels and huge tires. The Big Red is on top of the list, followed by the ATC 110 like this one, which is described as a recent barn find.
Operation controls are further illustrated in the gallery below.Among the legions of transportation types, I am deeply interested in messing with is the old-school Honda three-wheeler. The seller reports that the engine received a valve adjustment as well as a new pull-start. The overhead-camshaft four-stroke 110cc single sends power to the rear axle via a dual-range 4-speed gearbox with an automatic clutch. The seller notes that the grips, brake lever, thumb throttle control, and cable were also replaced, as was the headlight switch and wiring. Hand controls are secured to a new polished bar, which is mounted on a new triple tree assembly and clamps. The rear fenders were polished, while the front fender is a new item.

A replacement sticker set was sourced for the rear valance, and the gas tank features Honda ATC 110 stickers and has not been filled with fuel since installation.Īll three steel rims were media-blasted and painted silver, and the seller notes the addition of a new gas cap plus upper and lower exhaust shields. The seller disassembled the bike prior to having the steel frame media-blasted and refinished in gloss black, while the replacement gas tank, fork, and headlight bucket were refinished in red. Honda introduced the three-wheel ATC in 1969, and this example retains a fixed rear axle that also provides the braking power. This Honda ATC 110 is now offered with a bill of sale in Chicago, Illinois.
The seller states that the rebuild utilized restored and NOS parts collected throughout his ownership. Features consist of a Honda headlight bucket, replaced handlebars and switchgear, balloon tires on refinished steel wheels, and more. The cycle was acquired by the seller 30 years ago and was subsequently refurbished, including disassembly, refinishing of panels, zinc-plating hardware, and replacement Honda parts. This 1980 Honda All-Terrain Cycle is late-production example equipped with a 110cc four-stroke single paired with a dual-range 4-speed transmission featuring an automatic clutch.
