This little fellow is the Asian Civet cat, said to be the connoisseur of coffee!... I've heard stories of people paying $100 per cup for his finer selections!
Though I'm not to keen on his processing plant!:omg:

That they are, and way ahead of their time too. Consider for a moment how long the 350x was the undisputed king of 4-stroke sport ATV's. What was it's closest competition?? The Yamaha Warrior?? A 2-valve 350 in a heavier quad? Please, no chance... The 300ex??? Again, please.... Nice little trail quad but the 350x will monkey stomp it without even using the whole gearbox...It wasn't until 1998 that Honda itself knocked the 350x off it's perch at the top of thumper hill with the 400ex... But not by much. What a great trike! Sure, it's no match for the modern 450's.. Heck, my big bore R has it's work cut out to run with some of those.. But for the 350x to be the king of 4-stroke sport ATV's for 12 years AFTER the consent decree that ended 3-wheeled ATV sales in the U.S. is pretty amazing.

Goes to show ya that the good really do die young... :(
 
I've always loved a stout thumper, my favorite dirt bike was a xr 600 with unbelievable tourqe and much like the 350x it was instant wheelie whatever gear u was in. I'm 40 now and don't ride anymore but took a guys crf450 for a spin the other day and was blown away with how it ran, an incredible machine to say the least.

I agree. I have ridden a crf450, the Suzuki LTR450 quad, Honda trx450r, and the YFZ450 from Yamaha.. They are definitely NOT the thumpers of yesteryear. Very high strung much like the old wing-dingers. The closest I have come to modern thumper is I have owned a 400ex and a couple of LTZ400 Suzuki in the past. They are nice, and fun and all... But they have been sold off for one reason or another... The old trikes aren't going anywhere though.
 
Nice bikes and trikes! I have an old 84 XR500, and I do love it.. dyno numbers say they're actually only about 3hp down from the 650's of the era, so I'm guessing the 650's heads didn't flow enough for the bigger displacement (I think they were the same head) If you don't know how to start it, it's close to impossible to start.. if you DO know how, it's as easy as pie.

Need proof? Here is the morning cold start on it.. about 40F overnight.. and yes, I'm barefoot. The bike is ugly as sin, but it's paid for.. I paid $900 for it and abused it HARD for 3 years, it's skidded logs, towed trailers with hay and dirt (1/2 yard of dirt), and then goes out and plays on the weekends. Not only does it run laps around my buddy's KLX250 and KTM XCW 350, I also go WAY further on a tank.. like nearly twice as far. It's downside is it gets heavy.. especially if you flop it handlebars downward on a steep hill.. might as well call a tow truck!

 
I like to mess with classic MoPars and tractors. I have a 71 Challenger I have had since I was 15 (needs restoration again) and a 71 GTX I have had since I was 19 (stagnant restoration in progress). The tractors I have are my 1955 Oliver Super 55 (gas), 1969 Oliver 550 (needs help, gas), 1953-4 John Deere 40, and a Farmall Super A.
