Very impressive. I can't say I've ever seen one or thought about it.

That's funny you mention this. I had a BW200 Yamaha back in the 90's it was fast for that time. It was the Yamaha big wheel 200cc dirtbike 1986 model red and white.

1 problem it had was staying on 2 wheels. Unless you rode it on a flat surface, it would easily want to tip the front end over. Going around corners it would slide the front end right out from under you. I can't tell you how many times I dropped it. get it in a rutty section and you are going to have some problems.

Well just this past weekend I was tempted to buy another one. The guy wanted 1600 for it and it was really worth about 1000 bucks. it was in really nice shape but smoking oil. but I sat on it and it was like I was on a XR100 it felt so small. I had to pass.

The Honda was more rare. it was the SX200 motor. never even seen one.

a 450r with that tire setup would probably be more fun. power, chassis and suspension all trump the old fat 2 wheeler setups.

I have seen a 250R three wheeler converted to a fat tired bike. That thang moved out.

Here is a pic of on with a paddle tire

I just bought a strong CR250 a few weeks back..Hmmmm...

The bike to do that on is the Service Honda cr500. they aren't anything like an old cr500. My buddy Jim went riding with us yesterday with his. 75 rwhp it's a MONSTER. it's only 220 pounds the way it sits as well.
