I'm 51 and grew up an avid ATC/ATV enthusiast, owning several machines including an ATC250R in my teens. At the time I was subscribed to 3-wheeler magazine and had pictures of ATC's and 4-wheelers all over my walls. It's awesome that you have all these great machines of that time period and doing this fun drag races etc and sharing the fun with this YT channel. You're son should be very grateful to have such a cool dad!!
A lot of great memories for me on our 85 350x. I loved drag racing against 250rs up Comp and Olds at Glamis back in the late 80’s and early 90’s and every now and then when I won, it was such a great feeling hahaha!
@@TheMapleDude1 yes, you should. Looks like you are a pretty busy Maple dude during the winter months though. Riding season out here is late October through March/April.
Nice race! I never thought about matching up these two machines, but it was pretty close. Don't worry about troll comments, they are just jealous of your collection.
The 350x is deceivingly quick being so smooth and quiet, probably the best all around three wheeler with that torque monster engine and less fussy maintenance than the two strokes, shifting was perfect!
I have owned both of these machines at different times (3 blasters) and your blaster is running very well to hang with that 350 from what I remember. Although the reason that I owned 3 blasters is because their was a time when you could buy ugly ones that ran for 6 to 800 bucks. They all got new piston and rings, but they were well ridden before I bought them. I would always buy cheap running things just so a buddy who didn't have anything at the time to get divorced because of his new addiction. Scratch that. I meant to say; have fun too. At 54 and having rode most of those years, I really enjoy your channel's reviewing the power of these bikes against each other, having wondered about some of these stacking up over the years, and with having 3 sons myself, I really dig what you're doing as a father. Keep up the good works gentleman. Braaap, Braaap, Thump, Thump.
Put a Pro Circuit pipe kit with bigger jets, K&N Pro Flo Kit. Get Vforce reed cage and reeds. Also put an ultra-light flywheel on the Blaster and it will take that 4-stroke trike every time.
You guys have to come up with a friend or relative to start these races. Power shifting would make all the difference in these races as well. Fun to watch
No replacement for displacement love the torque monster 350x I have always been and will always be a Honda fan but I love all the vintage trikes and quads and dirtbikes all the same but nothing beats a vintage Honda 🤙🏻 thanks for sharing.
@@TheMapleDude1 I'm not trying to hate on you or anything, I love your videos, but I have a Blaster and if you don't ring it out it is slower... It's the nature of a 2stroke. I could hear it bogging when you would shift early... I wish I could race you with mine lol
Beautiful old survivor that 350x. Nice! 👍🏻 I understand the 350x has the original tires, but if it had better tires on the rear I think the 350x would take the holeshot and never look back. Looked like a lot of wheel spin for the old 350 on the launch. I run Holeshots GNCC on my 250r as well as on the 350x. Awesome traction in the gravel. Little Blaster looks like a strong runner though, not taking that away from it. Cool video guys! 🍻🤘🏻
That Blaster runs really good, but the old 350X is a freight train and just keeps pulling. Fyi: My old 350X always pulled hardest when you short shifted it and kept it in the meat of the torque band!
And the blaster have bad transmission is too short in my family haven and that is a problem whit the blaster and is too short to chassis when you take to fast turn you can overturn the squad easy
I thought the blaster had a real chance but I wonder (don’t know) if the gearing played into the result, the 350 just had more top end. Shifting…. You guys use the clutch to shift? No wonder you’re so slow 😉
Put a 400ex head pipe and carb on the 350x makes a big difference. You have to cut the pipe and weld it to slip the silencer on. I actually used a big gun 400ex silencer on mine
@@TheMapleDude1 the big gun does I don’t know about other brands. It has a spring attached to the pipe you pull the spring and turn the pipe and put the spring back on lines right up. I’ll have to make a video to explain better
I understand that. But no matter what we do or how we shift, we are told we are too early or too late in the exact same video. It's different when you are actually riding.
I own two blasters and i think this wasrigged like the election with trump and biden .😂😂😂. That was great , one day when you go to the vitos 240 big bore kit . It will definitely walk away from that 350 .You guys have an awesome day.stay safe and gave fun

Hey Kevin I appreciate it. I had all those magazines and posters too... the golden age of ATVs.
@@TheMapleDude1 Cheers to that, brother!
Great video guys. Exactly the result I was expecting. Nice riding by both guys.
Thanks for the positive feedback!

Holy Moly. How random that I found your channel. I grew up in Clark County, WI! I miss that place.
Cool
What part of Clark Co?
I enjoy the videos, makes me miss my 350x.
That's brother.
It's great to see you guys out having fun with each other. Blaster's are a fun machine to ride. Keep ripping up the dirt!!!
That's what it's all about!
Buddy use to have a 350X supertrap exhaust with cam man that thing was fast.
If you find a supertrapp now that's rare.
@@TheMapleDude1
Ya this was years ago now.
I just like what you guys are doing while honestly being a little jealous of the beautiful machines you're getting to play with rock on!
Appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
Great job
Thanks

We definitely will... thanks for watching and the memories!

It's been ported already with reeds.
350x vs 350 warrior. That would be close
Good race.
You guys have to come up with a friend or relative to start these races. Power shifting would make all the difference in these races as well. Fun to watch
I agree on the start.
Good job guys. Hey Jack your dad is cool
Haha thanks.
What great bikes !!!! Brings back memories..you guys have fun but you're safe about it...always wear a helmet ..
Yes sir! Thanks for watching.
No replacement for displacement love the torque monster 350x I have always been and will always be a Honda fan but I love all the vintage trikes and quads and dirtbikes all the same but nothing beats a vintage Honda 🤙🏻 thanks for sharing.
Yeah it a great 3wheeler one of the best!
Nice.... But dad, your short shifting the hell out of the Blaster.... Rev that baby out more
Haha I laugh only bc no matter how we shift someone will say we're too fast or not fast enough. Thanks for the input, though.

Awesome race!
Thanks for watching!
I Love my blaster. But dang that 350x is a beautiful time capsule.
It was a lucky find for sure.
Great video as always!! Just wanting for a 2-stroke labeled maple syrup bottle to buy! Lol great job guys!!
How about 2 stoke oil infused maple syrup?
@@TheMapleDude1 lol yea! Or just a picture in the bottle works too.
Great video guys! Screw the haters yall are entertaining 😊
Thanks brother appreciate it

Thanks for watching! I do totally agree with you the tires on the 350x are terrible for this type of thing.
King Kong WINS! Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
Which Honda would be faster the 350x atc or a 400ex?
Id like to know.
You have a nice collection
Thanks many years of looking for them.
Good video I’m gonna subscribe
The one thing I wanna say it ride that power band on the blaster a little longer
Will do.
Thanks man.
That Blaster runs really good, but the old 350X is a freight train and just keeps pulling.
Fyi: My old 350X always pulled hardest when you short shifted it and kept it in the meat of the torque band!
Thank for the tip... we got so many different models that I really totally master each one. And yes that blaster is sweet.
I was actually surprised by the 350x. Forgot how good they were.
Yeah it's surprising no other manufacturer made a big 4 stoke!
Nice
Yeah
I've had a couple 350x's my first one was built pretty sweet not much would touch it back then. granted I was just a young 120# kid lol
Awesome. They are a lot of fun... lots of memories.
40lb body weight is such a huge difference on 300lb machines. This is a perfect example when you guys switch.
Very true agreed.
Love it
Thanks
The are a problem put the shift bad to faster in the 2stroke you can do but whit high rpm
And the blaster have bad transmission is too short in my family haven and that is a problem whit the blaster and is too short to chassis when you take to fast turn you can overturn the squad easy
I hear you.
Yes they are small.
I thought the blaster had a real chance but I wonder (don’t know) if the gearing played into the result, the 350 just had more top end.
Shifting…. You guys use the clutch to shift? No wonder you’re so slow 😉
I know I know... we hear it before.
Start the blaster in 2nd!!
Ok
I have a2000 blaster also i have to re jet it through
Cool I like the blaster!
My 85 atc350x will flat out smoke my 2000 200 blaster. It'll even smoke a yfm350x or 350 warrior.
This blaster is slightly modded.
Nice video, great races, definitely not the same results the son is a better rider/shifter passed you way sooner than you did.
I'll take it... I guess
Put a 400ex head pipe and carb on the 350x makes a big difference. You have to cut the pipe and weld it to slip the silencer on. I actually used a big gun 400ex silencer on mine
Does the silencer mount up without mods?
@@TheMapleDude1 the big gun does I don’t know about other brands. It has a spring attached to the pipe you pull the spring and turn the pipe and put the spring back on lines right up. I’ll have to make a video to explain better
@@TheMapleDude1 ok pulled it out of the shed I forgot I had to get a custom mid pipe made. Do you still want me to make a video?
@ls1-cammeroh648 yes please
@@TheMapleDude1 did you get the video? My reply to you right here kept disappearing I have no idea why
350 x in the long run
The king of the hill.
You're shifting the Blaster way too early. Its power band is very different than the 350x and you need to let it rev quite a bit more hehe
I understand that. But no matter what we do or how we shift, we are told we are too early or too late in the exact same video. It's different when you are actually riding.
4 strokes don't have a power band
Dad is the better rider.
First time I heard that... thanks!

Your boys a better driver than you!😜
Yes and I'm ok with it.
the 2nd blaster driver shift 1st 8K rpm 2nd 7K 3rd 6K 4th 5K it no good
Ok frank the tachometer
The guy that rode the blaster was shifting to quick
Poor guy can't win.
Why didn't you race a banshee ? That would be closer motor size.
It was just for fun. Check our other races.
Yeah you Fellas really oughtta stop racing those things!!!
We gotta keep it up!
@TheMapleDude1 well at least stop runnin them gears out past their point before shiftin!!!
@jamesmcdermott6934 we're doing OK my guy.
@@TheMapleDude1 never said yas wasn't!!!
