Yamaha Big Wheel 350......

[piezzi]

..... I want one!!! Seems like the perfect easy cruis'n bike that will handle snow, sand, hard pack, trails, rocks, whatever.

I'd prefer a 350, but this 200 is so damn clean:

They were only made for a couple of years in the late 80's, and being an old guy, I rode one at Sand Mountain outside of Reno back then.

Here's a 350:

[piezzi]

^^^ LOL really? They probably sold it for $10,000 or something ridiculous on that show.......

 

[slickerthanyou]

Theres an aftermarket company that used to convert 3 wheelers to them call 'missile'.
I always called them fat cats too. That one is beautiful- I'd pimp it!

The Fat Cat was originally a Honda bike, similar to the BW, but came with a centrifical clutch. Yamaha also referred to a couple of their BW models as Fat Cats.

I will post a picture of the bw 200 i sold last year. They are not wheelie machines and have little power. Heavy as hell but good in sandy areas.

the 200's are definitely turds, but the 350's have enough pep to wheelie easily.....
