It had no suspension, balloon tires and a 4 speed automatic transmission.Later Honda brought out the varied transmission with the option with high/Low speed. Honda's atc's motor's began to grow until the 200 cc motor was made. These models were equiped with front shocks, and some had elec. start.In 1981 honda made a break through design that would prove to be surpreme. Thus was the 250r. Legendary "2 stroke" and rear suspension, and a manual clutch 5 speed transmission.In 1983 Honda made the 200es. This model featured a High/Low and Reverse transmission.
