1979 Honda ATC110 – “One of the Best”

“Over the years we've offered some outstanding motocross motorcycles, mini-bikes and scooters. However, we've never offered an ATC which is an All-Terrain Cycle. The ATC was introduced in the U.S. in 1969 as a 1970 model and banned from new sales for safety related concerns in 1987. The Honda ATC110 refers to the popular Honda All-Terrain Cycle which is a durable three-wheeled off road vehicle produced from 1979 to 1985. It's known for its 105cc engine, automatic clutch, high/low transmission and balloon tires. This first year 1979 model was the product of a nut and bolt restoration that was completed in 2025. It is in show quality condition throughout and simply one of the best!” – Marc Schiliro

This eye-catching 1979 Honda ATC110 is a great example and simply one of the best! The Honda US90, later renamed the ATC90, was a three-wheeled Recreational vehicle designed by Osamu Takeuchi. Development began in 1967, in response to requests from American dealers for products to sell in the motorcycle off-season. Takeuchi considered many variations before settling on a three-wheeled design with low-pressure balloon tires, driven by an enlarged Honda ST70 engine through a 4-speed dual range semi-automatic clutched transmission. It was introduced in the U.S. in 1969 as a 1970 model. The first generation US90 was produced from 1970 to 1973. The second generation ATC90 was produced from 1974 to 1978. The third generation was produced from ATC110 was produced from 1979 to 1985. The fourth generation ATC125M was produced from 1984 to 1985. The ATC became hugely popular but safety concerns led to a U.S. ban on new sales of three-wheeled ATVs in 1987, paving the way for four-wheelers. This first year 1979 Honda ATC110 model was the product of a nut and bolt restoration. It discovered, owned and restored by Jeff Saucier who lives in Rhode Island. Jeff purchased it in the summer of 2023 with the restoration beginning in early December 2024 and it was completed in late September of 2025. Jeff invested countless hours and dollars in this endeavor.

It was purchased directly from Jeff by MS CLASSIC CARS in December of 2025 and January of 2026 is the first time it's been listed for sale.
