I'm really not familiar with your ride, but if space is available & the hitch doesn't interfere with the chain or sprocket I see no reason why you couldn't pull a small trailer. Just the fact that it is a chain drive should make no difference

honda made them as an accessory......

well my bike came std for one (sorry it was an 86 200sx)......but then again it also came std with racks......

which apparently is different in the US

have a kick round a wrecking yard or ask the honda dealer......you might be pleasently surprised what you find

....might find that one of a 86-88 200sx might fit on

Yes you can put a trailer hitch on a chain drive.

Mine was custom built and welded on to pull a trailer and pull a little plough to smooth out our driveway.

I had 2 pieces of metal then we welded it on to the axle holder, then the big part wich sticks out was bolted on to that...it works great.

Just remember never turn too tight or the tires hit and you get big problems(I had a piece of rope tied on to the plough and it wrapped around the tire then the axle...LOL not good.

And don't pull loads that are hard on your ATV...Also remember the 200trx isn't a utility quad it's only a sport quad.
