hi, im looking to possibly get an atv and have seena an 87 cyclone for sale some pics and info would be great thanks

 

Great old hi performce quad but yet again they are old and need major care taken of them.

 

Is a 3-wheeler? Parts will be a hard find I'd bet.

 

1987 Cyclone is a quad

 

what were the early 80's 3-wheelers called? 87 makes sense its a quad. Thought cyclones were trikes, air cooled 250.

Wicked fast, could give my 85 ATC 250R a good run.

 

The Polaris trikes were called Scramblers. Long before the scramblers we know of today

 

They did make a Cyclone version of the 3 wheeler but not after 86.

 

Hi Ryanman,
I'm replying to your Q. I have a 1987 Polaris Cyclone 250X. I've acquired it about 2 months ago from my nephew. From what I've heard, they only made less then 500 of these quads in that one year. If you would like to see some pics, i could send you some.

We had one in the shop. It has been to hell and back, then back to hell again and must of fell off down the escalator a few times. It was pretty beat up and had a lot of hours on it but still was pretty fast. Felt like riding on top of a brick.

 

I bought it off my nephew, because he said he blew the engine. I thought about having it rebuilt. It acts like it wants to start though. It has compression, and i cleaned out the carb. My nephew said he smoked all his buddies, bald tires and all. The thing is built like a tank. It looks pretty good still after 17 years. Would it be worth to rebuild? top? bottom? both? or sell?
