I like the frames of these Tigers. So minimalistic in design but so effective. No wonder it weighs so little, its only bare bones. I'd love to find a 250 in decent shape. Maybe I'll build my own frame some day.

i agree i dont belive that is the original motor. if you look at the pics of the motor you took your missing engine mounts where the frame motor mounts are. somthing is out of place but then again thats history with a rare race machine.
i looks like your radiator hose is going back into the front of the engine. from what water cooling info i know every other water cooled bikes atv or trike one goes into the head and one comes out near the bottem end. does anyone else see it coming directly out of the rad and then entering somwhere around the exhaust pipe? the pics are to dark to see if it really goes into the motor.

i just did some looking at tiger 200's and that is not the stock engine, its air cooled, on this site there are some pics of a few tiger 200's and this is a tiger 200 with a 125 air cooled motor in it.

not a can-am motor it would have bombarier on the side, but it doesn't look llike the armstrong rotax 125 waterjacket in my shop, those air fins don't look like a watercool rotax unless its a 75 or 76 head from the original T'nT series dirt bikes, but I'm not any sort of tiger expert I'd like to hear "dale" chime in.
Don't really care nice trike

Nice machine. I thought the 125's just had a water cooled head, but the cyclinder was air cooled. Also thought the 125's were red and white instead of blue and white, but its hard to say what Tiger changed or what people changed after.

Yep, they are rare, fast and light but to look at it - I too think they look cheap. Sorry, don't mean to offend anyone as I'm sure that they are wonderful and rare and all that good stuff. But simply in terms of the visual aspect, to me it seems to be lacking the smooth looks and lines of a 250R or other ATC or that era.
That motor might be unbelievable, handling superb and suspension super absorbing, but put it side by side (not racing of course) and it just doesn't seem nearly as nice as a TriZ, Tecate or a 250R.
However, I would like to say - AWESOME FIND!!!!! Just being as rare as it is and in that good of condition is incredible. I'd EBAY that puppy for a 10 day auction.
