I posted it because these things are rare and the guy is not going to give them away unless he is an idiot so most people on here ar anywhere for that matter are not going to drop $10g (my guess at the reserve price) on some 20 year old ( reguardless of the age they are sweet) atv/atcs. I figure if a few guys from this web site want to mortgage their houses and do alittle ebay battle ,it doesnt bother me since I cant afford to even think about buying them and if they win I think I deserve a courtessy(spelling) spin on each machine when I come to visit lol :D .After all Im the dumba$$ that posted the link. Then someone on this forum can tell us how sweeet their new tigers are and can give us some more insite on these illusive machines. I'll stop now whewwww. ---Joe 8)

Yeah I wasnt Mad or anything, Joe...........but it really sucks when someone (unsuspectfully usually) posts a link to a KILLER deal on a machine.

I wonder if they would take payments? Like $50 a month? LOL! Hey, on the 125, I noticed the radiator, but where is it cooled? I see the hose going in the case, but the head and cylinder have fins on them. You know, most water-cooled engines don't have fins. Wait, yea I see the hose going in the head. Still never seen one with fins and being water-cooled.

His ad states the 3 wheelers are air cooled. I bet they used to be liquid, but somone replaced the top end if not the whole motor.

He also says that they are worked and race ready but the 200 doesn' t run?

Good point HRC. He says the motors were rebuilt. Like Holic or Mikeftlaud, perhaps he couldn't find the liquid cooled cylinders?????

I'd still love to have them.

im still up in the air about that "air cooled" comment. I did tell RYDER that the air cooled top ends would fit the Rotax bottom, wich is true, however look closeley at the 125, it appears to be plumbed correctly, doesnt it? Also, when speaking with the seller on the phone, he asked me "how do I know if its air cooled or liquid cooled?" "I'm just going on what ive been told." These guys "fell on" these Tigers, not original owners, too bad I didnt "fall" on them!!! I wonder how this auction will go? I wish they did them seperate, I love that little 125!

From what I can tell on the 125 is that there is only one hose and that looks like it goes from the radiator to the case just below the cyclinder. Just to the right of the spark plug looks like a hose but I think it might be a pipe bracket, its hard to tell. Ask him to start the 125 and see if the hoses and radiator gets warm, and see if there is coolent in the radiator and see if there is atleast 2 hoses going to the radiator. http://webusers.warwick.net/~u1043265/e.jpg this pic almost does look like a coolent hose.

The air fins on the 125 kind of look like they go into way too deep for there to be water jackets. But its hard to tell.

I also thought that Rotax would have used the same bottom end for the 125 and 200, but when you compare the two http://www.3wheelerworld.com/Tiger/Tiger200Engine.jpg they look way different. Is it possible that the 125 might have reeds and not the rotary intake or whatever its called? Yet it doesn't really look like there are reeds between the cyclinder and carb.

I've heard the reserve is $5000, but yet someone in Trikeslyvania said he'll take $3000.

This is one cool find. Please, whoever goes to look at them take lots of pictures and get as much info as possible, and tell those guys about the site. This is one of 3 or 4? Tiger's we've seen on the site, and the first Tiger quad.

I think we should sit quietly by and let someone from here win them for a fair price so please dont go trying to enlighten the seller, who found these bikes and has absolutley no idea what they are, who made them and if they are worth squat.for gods sake, they think "Rotax" made the bikes. not to mention they have only had them a short while, its not like the guy is the original owner, I got a better Idea, lets all email the guy, tell him they are worth more than Ross Perot, and Bill Gates, and make absolutley sure nobody ever buys them. We all know sellers like that, lets not manufacture one ourselves by being stupid

Interesting fact, NADA lists the average retail on the 200 at $215 and the high retail at $230 and Kelly blue book doesnt list them at all. Oh yeah ,NADA also does not list the quad or the 150. So if you aint got it in the bank, or have a rich relative , you will have to go with the second mortgage.lol---Joe 8)

I e-mailed the guy and asked if he'd split them up. I also told him that he has probably has gotten a lot of e-mails about them after listing them for sale, and creating quite a ruccus. I think he will not be able to sell them because everyone wants them and the price will go to high for most people. I think an Honest price for them would be 3,000. They are pretty nice though. I would drive out there to pick one up if the guy would sell me the quad for $1,200.00 LOL, I think it's worth a little more though. I think I would drive out just to pick up any one of them if they were sold for a reasonable price. NY is a good 10-12 hours from me I believe.

I agree with that, wholeheartedly. I bet he paid 2500-3000 for the whole lot.
