The white one was a Tecate? It has the same shape, so its a white T3?

Looks like a very early Tiger to me. Or maybe a custom 81/82 R? Whatever it is, the rider is good.

that front fender does look alot like an 85 t3 front fender. but the white plastic and red seat throw me off. unless its custom white fenders and seat is recovered in red. yet it could be a tiger or r. but that front fender....i think its a t3.

well after a more in depth look at it i definately think it is a white t3 with red seat. in the beginning when they first take off just before the first turn, you get a nice look at it and the green t3, they look identical.

looks like an 85 t3 to me. The tigers had a rad shroud below the tank on the left side - didnt they. This is great footage.

Anyone have a youtube account that can contact him to see if he has more videos of trike races? He must have more

Think about it -who had a video recorder in 85 - not many people. Rare footage.
Dammit!

Already contacted him about that vid like a week ago. That clip is all he has.

its a white t3, not a tiger. if you pause it just as they go by the camera after the start, and if you pause it at the point where both the green t3 is hitting the first corner and the white one is, you can see the bike is definately a t3. same front fenders, tank, rears are the miaer low profiles, its a t3 baby.

another distinquishing point...the head pipe is on the left side of the bike (tecate) not the right side like a tiger, sooooooooo....its definately not a tiger of any size. it is a tecate dressed in white!

You can tell that its a T3 from the exhaust pipe placement. It's a T3 for sure.
