This Honda ATV got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1985 Honda ATC 250ES Big Red was acquired by seller in 2025 and subsequent work included powder-coating the 9″ wheels, replacing the tires, petcock, air filter, and grips, flushing the fuel tank, and changing the engine oil and final drive fluid. Power is provided by a 246cc four-stroke single mated to a five-speed transmission with a reverse gear and an automatic clutch, and the ATC is finished in red with black, white, and silver decals. Equipment includes a black vinyl solo seat, a tow ball, a leading-axle fork, a skid plate, a rear cargo box, trail lighting, cargo racks, and an electric starter. This ATC 250ES is now offered by the seller at no reserve with a tool kit and an Arizona title in the seller’s name.

The handlebar is equipped with replacement grips and switchgear for the lights and ignition as well as a thumb-throttle and brake levers. The ATC is not equipped with an odometer or other instrumentation, therefore total mileage is unknown. Screw marks are noted in the plastic near the ignition switch.
