DIDN'T THAT COMPANY MAKE 3 WHEELERS BACK IN THE 80'S? IS THE COMPANY CALLED TIGER?

Im pretty sure its a Tiger. I seen one the other day on BansheeHq.com. Old bike.

Not to mention, it says "Tiger" on the swing arm.

Its a Tiger 250R- not too popular because the year they released them was the year that 3 wheelers got banned and there was a possible ban on all atv's so the demand wasnt popular. Then along came yamaha and saved the day with the Banshee; too bad it took over ten years for anyone else to catch up but at least its gotten better. This isn't a flame war, I am just stating the facts that Yamaha was the only sport quad producer for 10 years straight. If Honda would of done it then I would of put Honda.

Hey Ken,
   Rick Todd (BMS) used to be a Tiger dealer.. I rode the Tiger 200 and the Tiger 250 3-wheelers at a few races back in the day when 3 wheels was the way to go... They were pretty cool.....

HEY JOE! Been a long time since IVE seen one of those!!
Hes right though, POPS (RICK TODD) , OR DAD AS I LIKE TO CALL HIM, used to be a Tiger Dealer. Its a Rotax engine, the same company that powers SEA DOOS! It was a great bike for flat track also. Dad actually had a 500 Tiger as well. I dont think he ever lost on that bike actually. Seriously, not one race! When the power hit in those things, it got real scary real fast. Nowadays they would be somewhat impressive, but back then they were unstoppable. HARD TO KEEP EM RUNNIN' GOOD THOUGH.

NICE POST!
