The three-wheeler is powered by an air-cooled 246cc four-stroke single linked with an automatic clutch and five-speed dual-range transmission with reverse. Finished in red over a black frame, the ATC features an enclosed driveshaft, a black vinyl seat, trail lighting, 9\u2033 steel wheels, a telescopic fork, a ball hitch mount, a storage box, a thumb-operated throttle, and front and rear mudflaps. Work in 2026 included installing powder-coated front and rear cargo racks, cleaning and tuning the carburetor and replacing the petcock and battery. This ATC 250ES Big Red is now offered at no reserve in Wisconsin for off-road use only with a bill of sale.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-114583036\" src=\"https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1985_honda_atc-250es-big-red_img_5187-76966.jpeg?w=620&amp;resize=620%2C413\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1985_honda_atc-250es-big-red_img_5187-76966.jpeg?w=1774 1774w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1985_honda_atc-250es-big-red_img_5187-76966.jpeg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1985_honda_atc-250es-big-red_img_5187-76966.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1985_honda_atc-250es-big-red_img_5187-76966.jpeg?w=620&amp;resize=620%2C413 620w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1985_honda_atc-250es-big-red_img_5187-76966.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1985_honda_atc-250es-big-red_img_5187-76966.jpeg?w=460 460w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1985_honda_atc-250es-big-red_img_5187-76966.jpeg?w=144 144w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1985_honda_atc-250es-big-red_img_5187-76966.jpeg?w=940 940w, https:\/\/bringatrailer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1985_honda_atc-250es-big-red_img_5187-76966.jpeg?w=1240 1240w\" alt=\"No Reserve: 1985 Honda ATC 250ES Big Red\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The three-wheeler is finished in red with silver, white, and black Big Red graphics.
