It wasn't long until Honda upgraded the ATC yet again, bumping the displacement up as they introduced the ATC200. The S designated the model as a sleeker, sportier design with a few refinements not quite blatant to the uninformed.

The ATC185 changed the face of three wheelers as we know them. For as much as the Honda US90 started it all, the ATC185 could be considered the first milestone in Honda's development of the ATC model line of off road vehicles.
