    Mr. Kaplan, One of the BEST bikes I ever owned was the Honda XR650R. The bike was designed and built by Honda to win the Baja 1000. And it did, many times. I don't remember the year of mine. Perhaps it was 2003. I installed a simple jet kit to enrich the mixture and the foot long spark arrestor removed per Honda for increased performance. They had a screen, around the size of a beer can, with a Honda part number that went in the spark arrestors place inside the end of the exhaust. The jet kit had a Honda part number as well. I suggest you try and find one of these, in good shape, just to experience a true race factory four stroke. This was an extraordinary bike for sure that I wish I still owned. Try to find one!

    Aw man! I love how so many of your videos bring back memories of childhood, etc.
    And this one was no exception.. That friggin' Fat-Cat! Just Awesome!
    I grew up 2 places down from our local Honda shop, so got to sit on / ride a LOT of 80s machines..
    I remember the Honda Big-Wheels and years later, the Honda Cub [Mopedish looking w/ wide tires]
    Years later I got my 1st TW-200, and then got a Fat-Cat. Ahhh man that thing was fun!
    Here we are.. years later.. 2 more TW200s later, and the plan was to 'wide-tire- the TW's front end also..
    [Making a street legal fat-cat] These wide-tired scoots are so much fun that to be honest,
    I was even contemplating a conversion on my WR250R..
    Can't wait til' I can break outa' work and watch the rest of this video.. It was Great so far!

      You're talking about the Honda cub EZ90. Those things were sick! We had one when I was a kid and wish we didn't sell it. 2 stroke and rode similar to a dirtbike. We used it in the woods all the time and it was a blast. ! Nothing like the ugly old Cubs like what Kap pulled out of the trailer in this video with no seat.

      When those things 1st rolled out, love em' or hate em', they where game changers
      as far as the looks/design.. That color sceme they used was pretty slick too.
      I found one months back on either Craigs or Marketplace, but they wanted like $8k

Trying to find the right Carb Kits for it, got 2 but still not mine. Need those o-rings. l see you like the Magna's as well. Still have to make more of the Big video then I can get back t bike stuff. Should show your Paster the video. Had my Magna since 1984 but knew the owner that bought it new. On the MX400B, still getting all the engine parts in a box to bring to engine builder. Then it will be another Original Yamaha MX400B.
