the 1989 honda cr80 is a 2 stroke and a smaller bike than most but very powerful for the size I've always like cr80, but I am a big guy at 6'1 and about 190lbs. but test rode it seemed fine and good power considering my size the guy is asking 500.00 and the 1985 Honda 250 atc is a 4 stroke to be honest I'm not really familiar with these so from your guys experience what would you buy if you were in my position oh the honda four stroke is also 500.00. Right now I am kind of leaning towards the cr80.

i like a little more displacement, but it's really your preference. the 4 stroke might be a little colder blooded, but you won't have to hassle with mixed gas. 2 strokes have a rep for being a little quicker with acceleration, but 4 strokes are altogether a better design, thus they have almost completely replaced 2 strokes today. I would go with the 250. plus, 3 wheelers are balln and rare! although slightly dangerous.

the cr80 will probably have a little more punch but all i have to say is 4 stroke ftw. either can easily be made more powerful. so the 89 will probably be faster right off but with some work the 85 could be much nicer and more efficient.
