The system ** Honda puts GARDENA, Ca. - The versatile Honda ATV line continues to be the right choice for utility work at industrial jobsites and on farms and ranches across the country. Once thought of as only recreational vehicles, the ver satility of these vehicles soon made them stars in commercial ap plications too. Recognizing the needs of agricultural and in dustrial consumers, Honda designed the Big Red - three wheeler to fill the growing need for a utility ATV. The response was so great that Honda’s engineers designed a four-wheel ATV to add yet another dimension. The 1985 FourTrax™ 250 four wheeler and Big Red are prune examples of work-minded machines. They both handle dif ficult terrain and operating con ditions as well as being low-cost and low-maintenance. Add to this their great gas mileage and multi purpose abilities, and you have the right choice for agriculture and industry. Both of these hard-working ATVs are built with the powerful 246 cc four-stroke engines designed exclusively for all terrain vehicles. They also feature five-speed transmissions with a new super low first gear, easy-to-engage reverse and an automatic clutch. And both have front and rear suspension. Whether you’re out at the con struction area, drillsite or pasture, these ATVs hre ready. Their standard front and rear racks carry tools and supplies to out-of the-way areas. Heavy-duty electric starters on these models also make the workday a little easier. Since all businesses are con cerned with the bottom line, Honda ATVs help contribute. Honda's three- and four-wheeler makes a common-sense purchase as they are priced much lower than other off-road vehicles such as tractors or four-wheel drive pick-ups. In 1985, these modern day workhorses will continue to share the load in workplaces across the country. The Big Red three wheeler and FourTrax 250 will find even more all-terrain applications and provide dependable assistance all work day long. Suggested retai price of the Big Red is $1,968.00 and the FourTrax 250 is $2.198.00.
