did honda or another off road company make a two wheel vehicle?

[gladiator mice]

i know honda made the fat cat for a short bit. but is there any others like that are built like that model?

[swampthang]

Yeah Yamaha made 3 bw80,bw200,bw350

[Jon Boy]

Yamaha Big Wheel

[gladiator mice]

browsing through some web pages it seems these bikes are hard to come by and when you do they arent cheap unless its a pile of boxes stuffed with parts or one that needs a whole lotta TLC, lol.

[HONDA_ATC_FREAK]

rokon makes some sweet ones there slow but they go ANYWHERE

I see more Big Wheels on CL than Fat Cats

The thing about those Rokons too is that they are two wheel drive, and can carry extra gas in the wheels.

[200x350xtriz250]

You need to check out the missle kits. Not factory sold bikes but a kit to convert some 3 wheelers to 2 wheelers including the 250r's and 350x's.

i know they hahave liquid storage in the wheels but I have always wondered how you get it from the wheels to the gas tank?

Honda made one called the "Fat Cat"

Me and my Rokon. I don't care how may tecates i could own, this is the coolest thing i'll ever drive. This is a 1969 Trailbreaker with the uber rare peanut tank.

awesome 86T3 :naughty:

[muthey]

I have to ask an old friend of mines parents but I think I might know where two fat cats are sitting in mint condition right now if they still have them

[vartiak15]

that rokon is one bad mother.... how does it handle? and how many of them did they make

[Vealmonkey]

I thought trials riders got points taken off for putting their feet down? LOL Rokons will hold gas in the wheels if you have the right wheels. Rokons are fun, but they ride like a buck board! LOL And to get fuel from the wheel, you use a "West Virgina Credit Card"....A Siphon hose or a squeeze bulb hose. LOL My 85 bw200 is kick start only and I prefer it that way. Those batteries on the electric start machines always went through the worst conditions and would fail at the worst possible times. I just never cared for the fat cat.

[bkm]

Ha ha Pat, my dad used to call a piece of hose an "Arkansas Credit Card" and a Crescent Wrench an "Arkansas Socket Set".

[TatTooL23]

Rokons r actually still being made I believe. There r 3 models.

[86T3]

Yea, rokons are still being made, 3 models. The company was sold twice i think and a lot of records were lost but they just discussed this topic on rokonworld. one guy said 25,000 and another said between 60-90,000. Mine s a 69 and they made over 2000 that year so i could see how there could be 60,000 around.

the steering is similar to that of a fat cat or bw, you really don't notice the 2x2 too much. I know i lost points but i had too much air in my tires and the picnic table was slippery! Thats my story and i'm sticking to it

[tri again]

so how do we find info on 3 to 2 wheel fat tire conversions?

Seems a shame but I could sacrifice a frame or 2.

[Tri-Z Pilot]

I personally think all those missile and astro kits are junk. If you want a dirtbike or quad just buy one, don't ruin what remaining trikes we got left

[Deathrocket]

dont forget the mule... i forget who made it, but its one of the coolest bikes ever.. 2wd, got this funky chain drive set up on the front wheel. weirdest thing ive ever seen lol

[Deathrocket]

oh yeah, and you could store fuel in the wheels.. heres a picture http://i30.tinypic.com/2vl8v10.jpg

[Deathrocket]

ok I stand corrected its a rockon trailbreaker lol

Missile kits do not ruin trikes...they can easily be put back on 3 wheels. No frame mods.

are you the one selling the rokon on buffalo CL?

[86T3]

Yea, i'm trying to at least. Some cheesey puff eating computer bully went on a flagging crusade against me, apparently my rokon isn't a recreational vehicle but it is a motorcycle. I drive it at least once a week and get worried that i'm going to break the transmission so i'd like to get a newer one. They stopped using this tranny in 71 i believe and some of the parts are obsolete.

Yeah I wasn't %100 sure on the missle kits,, honestly I'm not so much against thw missles, it's those damn astros I hate with a passion. I like both quads and trikes (I'm not so much a 2 wheel fan though), but those astro kits are just an abomination. I don't know why I hate them so much, maybe it's the ugliness factor, as I have no gripes about when someone does a 350x moror swap in a 250x/300ex.

[Powroll Triker]

Ive got a 500R missle thats pretty nasty...
