    Fat............cat ride??????

    Was in Michigan over this weekend and lastnight was out at my brother-in-laws house. He asked me if I was still into Honda's..I laughed and said he had no idea how much I was still into Honda's. He says come see what someone gave me to take it out of his garage. A 1987 200cc Fatcat. Basically at atv with just two wheels. I asked him what was wrong with it, he said he only had to clean the carb up and it runs good. I said, "I'll see" and hopped on and rode the piss out of it thru a apple orchard in full flowered bloom. What a fricken blast this thing was. I banged thru all 5 gears with reckless abandon!
    Needless to say it almost thru me a couple of times but with some quick foot work I saved myself and the bike. LOL.
    What a torque monster these things are. I climbed up a sandhill in first gear like a fricken tank!
    Just thought I would share a little Honda story with everyone.

    I have never rode something like that Fatcat. Kind of get "crabbing" when in soft sand and just starts climbing when it needs too. Reminded me of a atv but with a little more manuveabilty. Just a blast to ride, and beat!

    ever heard of a missile kit? same diff. except verry rare the fatcat was made 2 wheeled a missile kit was to make a 3 wheeler a 2 and they ruled! as for ct's they have the atc 70 motor in em and fat tires essencially they are atcs with 2 wheels.hece alot of the power they can muster.

    suzuki had one too they all were pretty nice the 2 stroke ones ive seen are nasty (good way)
