    NEW TIGER 250!!!! I just bought it!!!!

    I am all wound up right now and what to share this with you. As Some of you know I came up with some old ATV News Magazines and there was an ad in the back for a Tiger Dealer hear in PA. I looked them up on the internet and they were still in business so I had to give out a call.. I was asking about parts and the guy says” why don’t you just buy a new Tiger” WHAT!!!!! I” I got one out in the warehouse with 10hrs on it” Well I went today and just couldn’t pass it up.. SEE PICS. Also he had a standard length axle because according to him the came with std. axles and a customer wanted the extended so He ordered one in and swapped it out. I asked about the axle and he reaches behind the counter and pulls it out. So I bought that axle because my 200 is missing the correct axle. That’s all he had in parts except the brand new rad scoop for the 250..BUT!!! I did get the original Certificate of Origin!!!! Wow this is nuts. He is going to look for the manuals and make me a copy(he collects manuals and does not want to get rid of the originals. Check out the Warehouse!!! A real nice guy and I am glad I got a chance to meet him. He is into resto of old bike and has a grreat collection of vintage street/dirt bikes.

    now my 200 has a friend to sit beside in the garage. Its in nice shape no cracks on the fenders and the trike 95% all there!!! He said it has about 10hrs it was raced once at a local track and mostly demo rides. But He was a dealer that sold about 4 units except this one and the title is unsigned so I guess I am the original owner lol Can you believe it was just sitting around for 20yrs!!!!

    That red seat looks exactly like mine. Does it say Hi-Flite on the rear of it?
