If you want a rotax just look for a tiger ;)

I don't recall BRP ever making a trike.

I hate to say it but at that price.. ill pass, could get a super nice 500 swapped 250r for that price... that's why I like 3 wheelers cause they are fast and cheap! except that one I am still kicking myself for not buying an air cooled 500 powered 82 for $800 that thing had a brand new top and bottom end.. ohwell...

those look cool! am i asuming they had a 500 2 stroke in em? and that trike is another one on my "if I won the lottery" list lol.. now just need to find a way to put a 900 tripple in a polaris 250r/es :D now that would be dangerous :D

Before I left Tiger I sent a 350 Rotax motor to Powroll to build a 500cc four stroke to put in the three wheel frame, and then it was going in the "Super 4" after that. None of that happen and I sold the motor to a flat track motor cycle guy in Washington state to re coop some of the money Tiger owed me. Anyway just a little history.

I think there would be a lynch mob coming after ya if you did that to a Polaris P3. The most I am going to with mine is/would be a 400 top end, nothing more extreme than that.

You could always put a 750 kawi H2 engine in an old Hi Performance ATC frame, now that would be dangerous!!!! Also, Tiger wasn't the only Rotax powered trike, but I hadn't heard that mentioned at all.

Franks used Rotax power.

Having never seen and know next to nothing about a Frank's, I had no idea. A Frank's is rarer than a Tiger isnt it?

Franks? Yeah I think there were 3 or 4 made in the whole world. Much more rare then tiger.
