Tiger 250Updated! 2-05-02Wow, All of sudden it seems like the Tigers, and their owners are popping up out of the woodwork, Tigger, from the message board recently sent these to us after saying he had a Tiger250. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but Pictures are worth thousand of words, see for yourself! 
Heres Mike Thurman's (Mike Fort Laud. on the message board, or chat) Tiger 250, he bought it as it is at a cycle shop in Southern FL. He's possibly going to be totally restoring it. May the force be with you Mike, Your gonna need it. 
Heres a side view of the machine, as you can see its not Complete, but its a whole lot farther to being complete then 99.9% of any of us will ever be to having one.
Heres the front of it, checkout the extra wide front tire.
Heres the rear of it, Notice how low it is compared to the 250R, and the low profile 18inch tires, definetly the signs of a Flat-tracker.
Mike's 250R, and Tiger Side by side.Well, Mike sure is one lucky guy to have picked this rare machine up, and I thank him for the pictures. They are a great addition to the page, and the whole apsect of the Tiger. Mike did an excellent job on his 250R, and I'm sure with a few connections, He'll have this Tiger back to its racing qualities once again. The Tiger 250 was the meanest threewheeler there was back in the 80's. Only thing that came in even close was Kawasaki's Tecate. The Tiger 250 featured twist throttle, Chromoly frame, Rotax Engine (Rotax motors are those used in Seadoo's, Skidoo's, and the Bombardier fourwheelers), Fox rear shock that provided 8 1/2 inches of travel, hand made exhaust system, aluimum silencer, Dual piston Gremca hydraulic disc brakes front and back, was made in the USA, and to top it all off it weighed a amazing 255lbs! thats about 30lbs less then a ATC200X! Below are some pictures and quotes, 90% of the Black and White pictures are out of old magazines. Tiger 250 Pictures
"...the most violent, hardest hitting, untamed creature we've ever come across." 
"Our particular machine was jetted fat. That means it was actually down on power. It started easily and let out a healthy snarl once the choke was released,..." 
"The power builds very low and flows into the mid range nicely."

From this picture it looks like the Tiger is Racing? "The front end immediately clawed to the heavens. By feathering the clutch and backing off the throttle, the front end carried a controlled wheelie until we were forced to shift gears. We were shocked! The engine, thankfully, spits out tractable, torquey power." I'm afraid that this is all the info we have for now, but If you have ANY info what so ever about this machine drop us a email. Pictures, Specs, or anything like that would be greatfully apprecieated. In the mean time checkout the Tiger 500 and the Tiger 4 |
