of how much time I spend on here :lol: but seriously -- I'm addicted, and I'm loving all of the great advice!

So...I know that this isn't quite a trike...but what do you guys think of the Honda Fat Cat? How do they ride??? I want one just cause they're so different, but I want something to ride too!!! Someone w/ some experience let me know what you think!

Thanks! :beer

Hoda fat cats are bad ass. Wish I could find one! Some guy here was selling two of them up here a few years ago.

Buy an older atc250r and put the missle kit on it, it would probably be cheaper.

fat cats are cool, i think yamaha made something similar didnt they?

[ebecme01]

yeah, I think its called a BW200 and there is also a BW80

Well...we went to look at it, and I gotta say it is AWESOME!!!! Same owner since it was new -- has one chip in the front fender, and the "Fat Cat" decal is missing...but other than that it's pretty good!!! I'm gonna have a pretty restless night w/ this thing runnin through my head...

Years ago a buddy of mine had a Fat Cat. I've never liked dirt bikes because I'm vertically challenged and I don't like not being able to reach the ground. With the Fat Cat, that's not a problem, because it's low. I thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread, and I've wanted one ever since.

The Fat Cat came in only one model, the TR200. The Yamaha Big Wheel is similar and came in 3 sizes; the BW80, BW200, and BW350. My riding buddy has a BW80 and a BW200, which spend quite a bit of time at my place. I've ridden both. The 80 is ridiculously small for a 200lb guy, but still goes llike heck. The 200 needs an engine rebuild, so I can't say I'm impressed with its power, but it's got a very smooth floaty ride, which is what I remember from the Fat Cat. The Yamaha is a manual clutch, though, and I don't like that as much as the Fat Cat automatic. The automatic clutch lends itself well to tight quarters and exploring the woods, and I'm forever stalling when I try to do that kind of riding with a clutch.

yea those bikes look awsome!

I know someone down the street from me that has one and he hasn't taken it out in like 3 years and he wont sell it either. I dont see them to much where i live.

Its my nabor kevin that has one its pretty nice condition but the only problem is with the fatcats is its not the best for a 6 foot 290 pound person but they are SWEET id still get one didnt they make one with a 200x motor and one with a 350x motor i know my neighbors got one and it has a 200x motor.

i had a fatcat in my garage all last summer, it wasn't mine but the owner was cool with me takin it out while he was keeping it there. T'was a fun time. I'd def buy one if I could find one for sale around here.

[scooterroo]

so are you going to get the fatcat tamiya?

[crackshot]

I don't know why they stopped making them. I bet if they did make them again, they would have a lot of sales. Perfect trail bikes.

Happy to report I am now the proud new owner of an 87 Fatcat!!!! It's the perfect height for me, and w/ those big wheels there's no where I can't go! Pics are coming soon! -- if ya see a Tacoma w/ a Fatcat in the back, give me a wave!

[Meat-BoX]

If you dont mind, What did you pay for your Fat-Cat. I remember them comanding some serious bucks not long ago. If its in real good shape, runs well and you paid less than $1000 you got a Sweet deal. Allso remember they are rare so take care of it. Could be a good investment.:beer

[Bryan Raffa]

how about some pics of you and your fat cat!!!!

[Dammit!]

how about some pics of you and your fat cat!!!!

[redneck62]
