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. The trike does not have a title or registration, and it will convey on a bill of sale only.Among the legions of transportation types, I am deeply interested in messing with is the old-school Honda three-wheeler. Photos showing various stages of the refurbishment can be viewed in the gallery below, as can a December 2021 invoice from Brenny’s Motorcycle Clinic of Bettendorf, Iowa, and parts receipts. Power is sent to the rear wheel through a dual-range four-speed transmission with an overhauled automatic clutch and an enclosed replacement drive chain. A DG Performance exhaust system was installed under current ownership. Additional work performed in December 2021 included a valve service and replacement of the carburetor, the recoil starter, the CD ignition coil, and the spark plug and wire. The SOHC four-stroke single was over-bored 0.5mm and rebuilt with a matching piston kit in December 2021 by Brenny’s Motorcycle Clinic of Bettendorf, Iowa, and it now displaces 107cc. No instrumentation is present, and total mileage is unknown. The brake lever ahead of the left grip has an integrated parking brake mechanism. The black handlebar is fitted with a Honda-branded crossbar pad and carries replacement grips and cables along with switchgear for ignition and lighting on the left and a Honda 250X-sourced thumb-throttle on the right. An August 2021 parts receipt lists a replacement wheel rim. The brake received replacement shoes during the refurbishment. Braking power is provided by a drum on the rear axle that can be actuated by the handlebar lever or the right foot pedal.
Multi-piece 8″ steel wheels with replacement bearings were refinished in gold and mounted with 20×11.00″ Ocelot P357 tires. Features include a red-upholstered scalloped seat with a replacement fiberglass pan as well as a black-finished frame constructed of welded steel stampings, a rear grab bar, rubber-covered foot pegs, and a replacement headlight and taillight. The trike was refinished in blue as part of the refurbishment, with red, orange, and white graphics accenting the two-gallon fuel tank and replacement tail section. This ATC 110 is now offered at no reserve in California for off-road use only with refurbishment documents and a bill of sale. The trike was acquired by the seller in August 2021 and subsequently underwent a refurbishment that included repainting the chassis and bodywork, rebuilding the engine with a 0.5mm over-bore and valve service, and replacing the rear fender, seat, exhaust system, carburetor, ignition coil, lights, ignition coil, thumb throttle, chain, hardware, and tires. Additional equipment includes a rear drum brake, a parking brake, a recoil starter, CD ignition, and a rear grab bar.
This 1984 Honda ATC 110 is finished in blue with red and orange graphics and powered by an overbored 107cc SOHC four-stroke single mated to a dual-range four-speed transmission with an overhauled automatic clutch.
