Tiger's were handmade in the USA :usa Sound Familiar?

They made 3-4 sizes including a quad :wow
All were powered by Rotax 2 strokes.

There is a great deal of info on these machines at 3wheelerworld, but here is the original reviews of the Tiger 500 trike. Overkill is an understatement

awesome trike.............keep it forever. Its amazing how fast they came & went. Yet, they are the very bikes that started this whole atv craze. I never owned an ATC 250R, but rode a few. They command respect from the best atv riders.

There is a trike rally put on by 3 wheeler world at Hasping Acres in Laurel, IN this weekend. I would like to go check it out but I have to work.:cry:

Heres krash's 86 ATC250R. Its pretty much stock, just a few little mods.

Were not to sure on whats been done to the motor, we don't know if it has been bored or what. All we know for sure is that its been ported & polished.

The guy that owned this was, supposedly, a really fast racer, that raced his TRX250R, and whatever was done to his race bike, was done to this. For his wife.

It obviously needs some TLC. Krash was planning on taking the motor and swingarm off of it, and building up a 250R quad with his 86 250R quad frame. That was until he saw his 2 motos on here. Now its just sitting at his house in tucson...................just sitting :cry:

im pretty sure that the xr/crf50 pparts would fit on that engine! it sure looks the same, and im almost positive they are interchangeable. supe the engine up, u culd make that thing haul pretty good. my friend has a crf50 that is now a 100 and its pretty **** fast for a lil pitbike
