No ATV collection would be complete without a U.S. 90. There is no telling how many still exist. There are two in this collection.ATV Rider

We believe this is the largest collection of ATV’s anywhere including the ones behind closed doors at Honda. If you know of a bigger one please let us know about it.ATV Rider

With Jimmy White at the controls, the Tecate dominated 3 wheel racing.ATV Rider

This is a discovery of epic proportion. We have seen garages full of quads and three wheelers in the past but this blows all of them out of the water. One of our contributors stumbled on this simply by chance. For now we are going to leave the owners name and location a secret until we can further interview him and tour the amazing site for ourselves. For now, grab a napkin before you start to drool as we have.

he inventory list is staggering. When we asked, the owner how large the collection is, he didn’t even know. The strangest thing about the whole story, is that he didn’t start collecting until early in 2016.ATV Rider

Yamaha still makes a Big Wheel two wheeler. It’s now called a TW200. It’s street legal and a whole lot of fun.ATV Rider

Yamaha did not dominate the ATV world back in the 1980’s like they do today. Notice the YFZ/TriZ hybrid? Pretty cool.ATV Rider

In the late 70’s and early 80’s it seamed as Honda was changing their machines every year. They were experimenting to see what people liked and wanted. Today, changes are made much slower.ATV Rider

The only two wheelers in this collection have fat tires on them. The owner must like to ride in the sand.ATV Rider

Kawasaki’s are very sought after collectables for some. This collection has three trikes and one Tecate 4.ATV Rider

We have seen ATV’s in living rooms and even kitchens before. However, we have never seen any displayed on brand new hardwood flooring.ATV Rider

Although there are no 4X4 ATV’s or utility quads in this collection, there are plenty of rack equipped 3 wheelers. Strange how Honda switched the mounting side of the front drum brake on the Big Red.ATV Rider

This collector likes Yamaha BW’s and Honda Fat Cats along with the early fat tire XR50’s.ATV Rider
