LOST BOYS COLLECTION # 4 of 15 TIGER 125 2nd Generation

[Orangecnty250r]

Here is a fuly restored 2nd generation 125. These liquid cooled rotax 125 motors are very difficult to source. To date, there are only two others that have been located. I have been hopeful that these public reveals would knock the dust off a few more.

Interesting, the engine has fins but it is also water cooled. I'm also noticing that the Tiger's engine cradles are very low to the ground. It looks like the frame would bottom out before the suspension.

Don't know much about these but in this shape, which seems to pristine, what's the price tag on something like this? I'm sure it's hard to place a definitive amount on it, and I'm sure it's worth more to others than some but ball park figure? It's amazing by the way.

That was the one I like riding best inside the factory after everyone went home. The factory was a old Bell phone building with polished floors. We made a track inside with wooden ramps to test for the Mickey Thompson Races.

Kinda what I was thinking. Looks like it's set up more for flat track or TT. Did it leave the factory that way?
BTW: AWESOME!!! I would have loved to have one of those back int he day. :drool:

Wow. That jarred a memory form when I was a kid. I think I was around 12 and riding my 85 110 (Awesome) at my cabin in Northern Minnesota. This guy (Maybe 17- 20 ish) rides up next to me out of nowhere and gives me a thumbs up. I remember looking at the white trike he was on and reading 125 on the side. At the time I had no idea about 2 vs. 4 stroke and thought to myself I am lighter.......I can take him!! Then he cracked the throttle and disappeared down the path. I remember seeing the big "TIGER" letters on the back as it went by. I thought to myself it must be a cheap knock-off of Honda. Again, I was 12. This was on the north side of Leach Lake, across from Walker bay in the Chippewa National Forest if anyone is familiar with the area.

No case saver on it? Was there any method to put one on?
