There's something about a big tire dirt bike, isn't there? While other dirt bikes look mean, bikes like this look almost charmingly cartoonish. Friendly, even.
And, I mean, it's right there in the name, isn't it? The Honda Fat Cat was, as we've discussed in the past, meant to stand as both Honda's answer to Yamaha's Big Wheel (BW200), as well as bring a two-wheeled version of the ATC trike to the lineup. While its aesthetic can't be denied, some common complaints included observations that it was underpowered, overweight, and of course plenty of hate for its semi-automatic clutch.
But much like the Cub EZ90, and like other attempts that both Honda and other OEMs have made, this was a bike designed with beginners in mind. See, ever since at least the 1980s, bike makers and riders alike have been concerned about getting the next generation to throw a leg over. And, I mean, wouldn't you, if you wanted to see this thing you love continue into the future?
