It's nice, but I've seen way nicer. My personal opinion is the big wheels are nicer than the fatcats. I personally enjoy the manual clutch better and my 198t bigwheel is kickstart only which really isn't bad. The only disadvantage is that it is easier to get parts for the hondas as they made them several years and didn't change the design. The yamahas had changes between the kick only bikes and the electric start bikes. Also yamaha had the bigwheel 350. Still a fun bike though and that one seems pretty complete. It's nice that the tanks and fenders are plastic, but the tanks tend to yellow. The fatcats and the bigwheels have no problems in snow, mud, creeks, ditches or rough terrain. They just aren't geared to be speed demons. And with a little looking, you can still find some vintage hop up parts for them.

Hey Vealmonkey.... I didn't know that about the BWs having a manual clutch... I would prefer that also. Yeah, they look like they'd be a blast to ride, especially the 350.. must be a torque monster! Definitely on my wish list.... :beer
