    Description

    The Honda TR200 FatCat, produced only in 1986-87, is an oddity—a dirt bike equipped with plush, ATV-style tires. It shares the engine characteristics familiar to anyone who's ridden Honda's four-stroke engines like those in the ATC 185 three-wheeler, making it a comfortable ride for enthusiasts. The existence of the FatCat is somewhat of a mystery; Honda was already successful with their bikes, trikes, and quads, and the significant regulatory changes impacting three-wheelers didn't occur until late 1987, after the FatCat's production run ended. It seems possible that Honda might have been looking to utilize surplus four-stroke engines, or perhaps they were exploring the market potential for a gentler off-road bike.
    Riding the FatCat is remarkably straightforward. Its large, buoyant tires contribute to a forgiving ride, and its five-speed gearbox features an automatic clutch, removing the hassle of manual gear shifting. Simply kick it into gear and go. The FatCat performs well on a variety of terrains, from gravel fire roads and damp forest trails to more challenging rutted paths with stumps. It's essential to remember, though, that despite its bike-like appearance, it behaves more like a two-wheeled ATV.
