Wow its been a while since I have seen one. Didn't Yamaha have two versions of this. The 350 used the Warrior engine and I think they had a 200cc one also.
Then Honda had the Fatcat which was a 200cc and I think had the same engine as the 200x three wheeler.
Also I remember seeing the kit which would transform a Honda 250r three wheeler into a fat tire dirtbike.
Very cool
So is this one yours?

Quite a few of them around here actually. Alot of farmers bought them back in the 80s. One of my best friends is a die hard fatcat fanatic. He just spent 250 bucks for an oem gas tank for one while back lol. They are a blast to play around on but very dangerous for an un-experienced rider. Hit a curve in the road about 40 on a fatcat and try to lean that beetch.. Its not a fun feeling hahah

I seen them before, recently saw one at the local swap meet. Was honda iirc.

I always wanted one, but felt they would be a bit to hard to control at higher speeds (as blacknblue noted already).

I was called like a Rocket Kit, or something along those lines. I've seen them here, never seen one in person. Basically replaced the swingarm assembly to a single rear wheel, and replace the rear fenders as well.

I had a buddy down the road that had a Fatcat, I always thought it was a little underpowered for a dirtbike, but I came to the conclusion it was intentionally designed that way because of the inherent instability. I would imagine a 250r motor with some upgrades, putting out almost as much horsepower as a regular dirtbike, would just be a death trap.
