Blake Wharton Rides a Big Wheel Dirt Bike - Does it moto? episode 1

[@teamgreen404]

I had a 350 x missile kit for my ATC. It blew everyone away when i took it to Tower City Pa. Rear suspension never seem to perform properly. But man was it a blast on the trails. I ordered the kit and it came in peices over 3 month . I didn't think they were ever going to send me everything. Thanks for the post and it brings back old memories.

[@ATCREVOLUTION]

I just got a 350x missile kit!

[@shanesgoonvideos2889]

I ride that area, girlfriend live right at Sheridan coal banks

I would love to see a version of this bike with TW size wheels on it. A little narrower swingarm and triple clamps and a little larger diameter tire. It would be half way between a stock dirt bike and your BW conversion. I know tires in that size are a bit limited but I’ll bet it would be the perfect blend of the TW200’s incredible trail worthy fun with some serious performance!!!

[@Ultra54able]

Not sure a slightly narrower wheel will work as the whole thing relies on a secondary shaft centerline that must go well past the frame pivot of the bike. The rear sprockets centerline would likely line up too close to the frame.

[@outfrontracing9526]

Definitely really cool to see what it can do on the track. It would definitely shine on tighter technical slow trails and might actually do really well in hare scrambles!

[@LS1GOD2]

Video turned out sweet 👌 been waiting for it.

[@BVCOFFROAD]

Thanks man they killed it

[@rogerwalsberg]

I made one of those from a 250R three wheeler some 20 years ago. My rear jackshaft swingarm looks almost exactly like that one. It was a blast.

[@BVCOFFROAD]

They are fun.

[@jmr324]

Nice review buddy!! Great job BVC

[@dwalker2431]

Welcome back

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

For Motocross racers this would be a good exercise training bike cuz if you can hold this bike through 10 or 20 minutes Moto attend when you get on your regular bike you ought to be built up to where you can just yank that bike around like there's nothing over time getting the muscle is just build and you know and then you just you're stronger and your body is more adjusted to the time that you have to push in there's a good exercise bike in my opinion

[@BVCOFFROAD]

That is a great point!

[@Ultra54able]

Blakes put some beef on since his moto days. Great guy, big fan.

[@BVCOFFROAD]

He is awesome 👏

[@Davido50]

That big wheel is awesome indeed! I'm not into the renewed "trike thing" BVC does. I WISH they would do sport/race quads! That would be incredible. I'm waiting.

[@thedude7726]

Trikes are dumb 100%

[@aaronlacourse]

Check there page they made one....

[@jabocjacob7064]

Trikes are nostalgic

[@ATCREVOLUTION]

They made a HONDA quad out of a dirt bike already.

[@garymarple8897]

Take it to the Dune's!!! With sand tires..

[@jeffrichards1537]

My buddy had one of these big wheels. It landed so soft on jumps. Like landing on marshmallows.

[@zacksrandomprojects9698]

Looks like that would be a fun class.

[@justinm.791]

I'd like to take one for a spin in the dunes...that's where IMO it'd shine!!!

[@sambuvca22]

answers my question where Blake Wharton went!!!

[@rogerkelly4491]

Awesome video guys! Blake and Drew did great in front of the camera! Have you tried a 26 inch front tire? Look forward to receiving my kit for my 500af!

[@BVCOFFROAD]

You can fit it with some trimming on the fork guards but it will be tight

[@mototoad1242]

Incredible build as always. It's been a blessing to be able to ride along for the journey

[@doc_teamwaxoffroad]

Great review... 👍👍👍

[@BVCOFFROAD]

🙏 thank you

[@dubrpanda1636]

Looks like a rc dirtbike 😂

[@joegibson6041]

Seems like a good sand bike.

[@ronmexico5908]

Is it possible to make a XR650L fat tire out of aluminum to make it light weight or would that be outrageously expensive?

[@ariellenicole8760]

Oh man that thing is awesome man I got to see you guys put a paddle on it paddle the back smoothie in the front and some sand dunes please haha🙄

[@imaakillaa]

Havn't looked through alll of your videos, have you made a supermoto version? slicks would looks soo cool

[@BVCOFFROAD]

not yet - but we thought about it on my 500 AF conversion

[@davidecklund04]

I have Ninja 400 that I've been wanting to build into an off-road MX since I baught it. I'd like to see if you think it's possible and worth it though?

[@frednorma1]

I want to take it on an hare scramble 😁

[@BVCOFFROAD]

It woukd excel in those conditions

[@Northboundthrottles]

test it on fmx track?

[@GTRliffe]

back hair too bro

[@Pvgmtsprt]

А что не так то будет с управлением? Крутой мотоцикл, крутая подвеска, крутой мотор. Просто колёса Аля Тула.

[@rolandlemond9579]

I have a question why did the FAT CAT Not have a jackshaft on it for chain to rear wheel can you tell me

[@Ronnie.V.89]

Engine/transmission and frame on the fatcats are much wider than this bike so not as much sprocket or chain offset to deal with....that's my explanation

[@Alphabreed2121]

I'd love to see one in Glamis sand

[@BVCOFFROAD]

We are planning some sand videos coming up

[@Ultra54able]

@@BVCOFFROAD Don't forget, some would like to see this in the dunes with a paddle.

[@davetaitt1528]

I want one!

[@ATCREVOLUTION]

Ride a three wheeler next!

[@tomk5047]

Was this the raffle bike?

[@adamreno3653]

Make a big wheel raptor 700

[@adamreno3653]

Or a 3 legged dinosaur

[@atsekjoker]

i don't wanna troll, but what is the purpose of big wheels? just for the LOLz or does it have a serious meaning, which i just can't see right now? can someone explain pls?

[@Yfzmarine]

In another comment they said they build them for trails, Rocky, Sandy terrain

[@jabocjacob7064]

When you ride one, your question will be answered immediately. They’re very different from regular dirt bikes. They’re not razor sharp around corners, but they are a pleasure to ride in the trails

[@atsekjoker]

@@Yfzmarine thx

[@atsekjoker]

thx

[@Slane583]

If I remember correctly the original Honda Fat Cat and Yamaha Big Wheel were built for going through muddy locations a normal dirt bike couldn't go through. So aside from a plusher ride the fat tires give more flotation in wet muddy pots. That and if you're blazing trails through the bush they're better at going over logs and what not. I'd say they were an early form of trail blazer/adventure bike before adventure bikes became a thing. I never had one as a kid so that's just my guess. :)

[@drush525]

Training bike for cardio.

[@expandingknowledge8269]

The rolling mass is substantially different than a conventional motorcycle. The circumference of the tires, and the weight all contribute to a significantly different dynamic of actually moto crossing this bike. The only saving grace of this bike is the modern powerplant.

[@BVCOFFROAD]

We build these bikes for trails.. loose rocky terrain and sand.. but its cool seeing him moto it.

[@UncleChud]

Workout bike

[@JCRobbinsGuitar]

Put a big red flag on it and take it to Glamis.

[@BVCOFFROAD]

I keep telling blake that🥸

[@tngtacticalmiata1219]

Well, yeah.... But what do your "guy" friends think about it? Sorry... couldn't help it....

[@pedroe3508]

it must be fucking fun

Yes
