Finally... Tiger 80 pics ( 86250RZ is a witness)

[Jeb]

.... or maybe to " TigerHolic".


I dont see why that motor would be so hard to find. Those were built around KTM 80cc Motocross bikes. I would imagine a mid 80s KTM 80 would be TONS easier to find than the rotax motors of the bigger bikes.

Great to see pics of that little jewel!

Trikeaholic.... that would sure be a nice trike for the boy AND look sweet next to that mint Tiger 200 and if you get that Tiger 250 by you.

We could change your name to the ' TIGER Tamer' ... or 'Pack of TIGER's'

umm, mines a 250, but its certainly no 85 250R!! they are the greatest machine ever to come out of japan since the betamax!!!!!!

PS, I HAD a 1985 or so KTM 80 sitting in my barn for a while, But I got rid of it. I got it for the lil holic, but the thing was beat, motor turned over though. I shoulda kept it, but the chances of me buying a rolling 80 are pretty much ZERO.

P.S. - Was down to my Mom's house trying to get her water to work again and went up to the attic and got all my old ATC mags out of storage. Saw some nice Tiger articles. I'll try to scan them for you.

i would get a crane...or a backhoe depending on the size...and see if it can lift up this concrete slab...it would be worth the effort...

WOW! I have never seen them tiger trikes, except for the pic's. I see it say's {made in U.S.A.}. where were they manufactured :?:

[tri-freak]

i would try for the rotax for that baby. it probly cranks more than an R engine, especially in that flat track 80 frame. plus the origonal engine would be nice for a resto. i hope you do get that 80, it would be a nice addition to the 250. peace out, tony.

i THINK THE REAR SHOCK IS BLOWN. O WELL

[85bigred250es]

You don 't see one of those every day. Congrats on a great find :!:

What does the oval emblem on the tank say? Man that thing is cool.

[350x'inNY]

Yeah.... that lil TIGER 80 put out 23 hp stock. My 350X stock is only rated at 28 I think! As light as it is and the 2 stroke zip, that things would fly!

[85250Rfanatic]

Hey hrc200x. That emblem on the tank is plastic engraved as a Tiger head. If u look hard enough you can barely see it!

[honda-man88]

Why would you tear down a barn with stuff still in it, and even then you wouldn't pour cement over whatever you just wrecked, i dunno wouw cement would afect it, may have crushed it.

[honda-man88]
