All joking aside, they do float perfectly when you get off it and swim beside it!. But dont let go of it cuz they like floating best upside down!

Lol "put down the anti- depressants". That's why people were so happy in the 80s, cool ATVs, hair bands, and less stressful times. Super job on this Yamaha classic, beautiful machine.

What a unique person with so much passion and enthusiasm. I really enjoy his videos.

Bought one of these exact machines brand new in 1983. I was changing the oil in it today actually.

Three wheelers are amazingly fun in the snow! I own three Honda ATC's 350/200X/110 they are bullet proof.

Ken your intro was awesome. Nice trike. Thanks for the video.

Ken is a damn trip. The best move all year is the roll up out front! The stronger the rail, the stronger the door!

The wholly grail of ATC's is the 1987 250R.

We had one of these. Man it looked huge when I was a kid!

Takes me back, I had the same bike, 200e shaft electric start, no reverse and mine had a front rack over the headlight. Cool bike, I loved it even though I destroyed myself on it Lol.

Best video I’ve seen yet…! ✌🏼

That........pause tho 😂

Love to see you gentlemen go through a 1992 WR 500. Frame up with the wizards tuning? Forget about it. I’m from Maine we’ll call that a certified “rippa”

I had the Honda version but I had to bail off as it started to roll off an embankment and I bet it's still several hundred feet down a hill in the Smokey mountains

OMG I had the 1982 YT175 two smoke, my buddy had a 185 Honda,,,, too many fun memories. And ya they float, upside down... hahaha

@kaplan cycles I don't know if there is one but look for a lever on the side of the engine for the reverse, if there isn't one then you might just have to shift into reverse using the gear shifter, I'm pretty sure on some of the older ATV's that have reverse you shift into neutral then once more up, I could be wrong though, it's just a hunch

My brothers and I had one. It was awesome.

Also that is not the reverse model, the 200ern had the little "reverse gearbox" by the engine output with a little shifter handle. But as always, awesome video! thanks guys

some reason this is the first time i seen this even though i subscribed...maybe i missed that day lol

Haha.. Leaving that intro in was Klassic Kaplan... ✔️

love the vid i have the exact same one!

lol maybe in the 80s..... But i got a 87 moto 4 225... childhood machine and now I am doing a complete engine rebuild right now. Have a parts bike so have 2 engines taken apart in my garage on my desk.

LMAO..............OF course kens gotta see if it can wheelie and do 75 mph off the rip!!!!!.....nice intro...def made my morning with some much needed laughter!!!!!!!!!!

Where can I buy that helmet 🔥👍

Had this exact three wheeler, bought it off an older couple for $1000 in 2002 and it was in beautiful condition until I bought it lol

Takin me back!....I had a blue one.

What size is the front tire

What did it bring?

Nice little workhorse, too pretty to work though.

i raced a 1985 tr z 250 float track when i was young n dumb n im still alive lol

I still have a 85 ytm200 ER VERY RELIABLE LITTL MACHINE

That’s a 1984. The 83 was chain drive

i found a junk trimoto 125 2 stroke have it running pretty good but it needs pull starter

All atc love

"Get on it and SEND IT!"

That was my first 3 wheeler. Nice but told dad I wanted a 250r to race. How can I race against 250rs with this. Needless to say I went and got one on my own(Honda 250r) then it was on.

I have a 1984 Yamaha 200E Shaft here in Kotzebue Alaska. Runs awesome. Many many many miles lol. Bad ass is all i can say. It reminds me of how bad ass it is because the coast guard are bad asses. This how i compare lol. #gallahornfamily #alaskalife

Reverse should be down past neutral on the foot shifter

Three point hitch 😳

I have an 85 200e shaft drive that I have made street legal. They are a fantastic piece

I almost killed myself on a Dx225 racing a xr500 and a rm250. I hit a washed up root across a downhill trail, just hit 3rd gear bounced up on 2 wheels right into a oak tree, shattered my collarbone. Those things are a blast once you learn how to throw the ass end around they like to plow when you turn them.

I want the helmet!

Still has her.factory brake squel lol

My dad nearly killed my sister and I on this exact same trike ! I remember it like if it was yesterday...

It'll pull the Evergreen ship out of its predicament.

Dare you to find a mint Yamaha 225dx

Floating submarine 😆

folks in central WI call them "turdwheelers" cause you got your 1st, 2nd and turdwheel.

That’s not a 200e if it’s got reverse it’s a 200er

The tires are over inflated.

And on the 9th day, God created Ken, (alias) Kaplan America!.. Sinead O'connor sang it, Nothing Compares to You!

I need a carb kit im from ontario canada. Cant find any. Please help lol 👍🏻ytm 200k 1983

Put it in first gear then shift into reverse

If there was ever a motorized vehicle that was made to do wheelies this is it..... Even a 1 legged midget can 2 wheel that thing for days on end..... Ask me how I know lol.....

3 wheeled death machine

If you over rev it you will fuck the engine,ask me how I know.that bike has barely been used at all.
