YAMAHA BIG WHEEL BW350 CURTIS SPARKS 414 PERFORMANCE EDITION

[@HighOnTheHawg]

A real adult minibike, that thing is wild! Kenny I'd say you should be in the Guinness book of records for all the wheelies you've done on different bikes, it must be a record by now, you wheelie everything!

[@KaplanCycles]

That sounds like a great idea how do I get in there

[@minibikemadman]

that Sparx motor alone is worth some cake. Curtis is the man..his trx 250r stuff is some of the best mx porting and exhausts.

[@noahlindsey5100]

The nicest BW I've ever seen👍 Great job on this one, guys!😎

[@KaplanCycles]

Wow, thanks!

[@RugersLastResort]

Remember when Curtis Sparks raced the ATC 185s! Good old days! RUGER

[@DjRay1967]

My friend has that BW's baby brother. 2 BW 80's. They're definitely a blast to ride.

[@billbright1755]

Big Wheels Rolling. Got to keep ‘em going.

[@pleun315]

Holy cow what a beauty, and a fun bike who will give you the biggest smile all day long ❤❤❤❤

[@bustedcap]

I saw one of these dominate a dirt circle track back in the day against some motocross bikes. Stuck like glue and dude was riding it full nutz. It was around Bakersfield so maybe this was it?

[@1sir-onworld]

🐝🏁 You were having fun riding that I see! I love this bike very clean 👌

[@markyoung9027]

Man that thing is in good shape and these things are indestructible I know the 200 the 225s and the 350 motors I've run them and hard I can't get one to even use a drop of oil

[@scatpack440]

See what hard work, living clean does for a man, lets him live his dream and love doing what he is doing. God bless Ken! Have to come by NEMM when I am in NE in May. Looking for a great route from Hampton to you!

[@troymcdougall6170]

I remember back in the day when these were new they were scarce even then. I saw one for sale locally (ON, Canada) about 5 or 6 years ago that was pretty beat up, but all there and running. Can't remember the price, but it wasn't a fortune. Would have been a cool project.

[@Onlybhstrpes]

Min. 4:33, not for the faint of heart right-turn. Also, I used to be a tree-climber for those Aspludh Tree- Experts in those orange and black trucks. CRAZY work!!

[@CoolcatAMA-Pro]

I wonder how well it does on the snow with those tires two wheels don't usually do well without some cleats

[@markconnery2836]

KAPLAN 🐐🫡🇺🇸‼️

[@markkimball1569]

Nice big wheel. Had a 89 warrior 350 & the engines are bullet proof.

[@alwaysready4017]

When I die I want to come back as this dude😅

[@Farquad4532]

A true foundation ripper

[@madelynzauner6040]

I seen in the comments how does that 350 big wheel do in the snow? It’s outrageous is so much fun. Me and my wife took it in the snow together. That is my bike my original bike. I brought brand new that Ken’s riding and we had so much fun we had more fun than the people with snowmobiles Thank you Ken for getting my back up and running again. It’s been a while Mark.Zauner

[@DirtyDovi]

🤘🤘❤❤❤❤ One of these days, I'll find a "BW" front end to convert my TW200... These things are such an absolute blast to ride!!

[@sissygoog9456]

Kan I think everybody use the nickname fat cat I used to use mine for hunting could literally go over anything on that thing what a gorgeous bike Kaplan Cycles number one God Bless America❤

[@quailhunt1964]

Man, I love it!!!!

[@joelaichner3025]

GOD BLESS AMERICA indeed ! Skäl

[@lifeafterrelease]

my neighbor had 2 of em for sale bout 10 years ago and still wanted 2200 each but that was 10 years ago wished I woulda picked em up knowing they double in price

[@benbrown565]

This one is toooo clean ,but id love to see a banshee 350 twin swapped Big Wheel lol

[@TinyTonyGOD]

Hey Ken, have you guys looked into the process of whitening yellowed plastics with UV light and hydrogen peroxide? I think the results can vary depending on the type of plastic but its worth looking in to. I've seen some great results from it.

[@lifeafterrelease]

I remember being called fat cats

[@bobg1219]

Sounds good!

[@DaleJ-d4k]

You fixed the pot hole! 👍

[@Weegus]

Beautiful.

[@Brava-x2f]

Guys... Imagine that banshee 350 engine in this frame 😮💨💨💨... 💡

[@mardickdavila7326]

A beauty ❤

[@CJ7fun-zv2hs]

I remember a kid down the road from me when we were young had a brand new 1988 BW350 electric, I haven't seen one of these bike since then, they are a rare and true collector!

[@johndorazio3759]

Sweet

[@ronlawson5819]

Ken you need a BVC CRF 450 Big Wheel

[@ShotgunSsergio]

what price do you have on this beast?

[@joelaichner3025]

Many years ago , I thought you were just a Museum , I was wrong

[@Harley-k6h]

I like that is it gas or diesel engine?

[@stevesmith662]

The thing to remember about riding a BW is you dont actually ride it but drive it

[@kevowski]

Beauty is the eye of the beholder 😉

[@toddjacobs5660]

That thing is pretty cool 👍

[@WhiteBisonWhisperer-SU]

I'm trying to find a fuel tank for mine!!! 😢

[@DrewSuch]

Maybe I’ll email my resume over just for shits and giggles. I really don’t care what anyone thinks.

[@CoralReefkid]

Do it!

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Working for The Kaplan Family and Kaplan Cycles would be a dream come true. If I was mechanically inclined, I would have put in an application to them long ago, being ready to move away from the toilet bowl of Louisiana, at the drop of dime, without any thought involved. I'm very warm blooded, and was most definitely born in the wrong state. I love cold weather and snow. The only snow Louisiana has, is the cocaine that addicts buy. The humidity and hot weather here is ungodly and fucking miserable. I just try to make the best out of a shitty scenario, because I'm not rich, just a middle class working tax payer, now living on permanent disability, boring as fuck. Would much rather be working. Hardwork and elbow grease never hurt or killed anybody. Just ask Ken Kaplan Sr. All he needs is like 4 to 5 hours max, if sleep a night. A beastly, rare work machine, that works, while most of us are sleeping.

[@juanlozano5517]

Do you sold this bike how much you asking for?

[@kk2into194]

How much would that set a guy back?

[@robertjongejans]

It will rip your house right of the foundation!" 😂

[@vinto34]

These don't handle like a regular dirt bike...takes a bit to get used to the larger tyres...nice machine.

[@uan588]

I want to be a hang around

[@leonreed4252]

Wow that's something 😢

[@shawncordeiroTerraceBC]

guesstamiating 28hp

[@joelaichner3025]

Oh ! A 350cc , besides Hair on your Chest , must have hair on your toes too ? I’ve seen people build big wheels out of 450’s and 500’s , that Chick has hair on her Back , my kinda Girl ? Plus owns her own chainsaw , Quality Girl , and No ! My Old Lady doesn’t have a hairy back , 414cc , Quality , TW 200 is on my Bucket list , right after Coo Coo Clock , priorities
