What is this beast?

What is this funky motorcycle I saw on the side of the road? It had fat/wide ATV style wheels and tires, was yellow (tank and frame), looked about 30+ years old and said "Trail Blaster" (or Blazer, don't recall for sure) on the gas tank. It's for sale and it looks like a lot of back-trail fun but I'd like to find out more.

Was it a Honda Ruckus or a Big Ruckus?

Maybe it was a Rokon?

That "it" link was supposed to go here.

Perhaps a Rokon? Over the years there have been a variety of motorcycles and minibikes with big tires; this was the first one I could find.

Probably a Yamaha Big Wheel.

Be careful if you do buy it. They are a lot of fun, but they can get an inexperienced rider into situations that they may not be able to get out of.

I didn't know anyone was making 2wd bikes. Anyone ride one? If so how do they handle?
