Okay everyone get this, theres a little old lady who lives about 2 blocks down the street from me and I've been plowing her driveway for her for about 2 years. She has a grown up some who is about 40 years old I think. I went over there the other day when she called me and told me her car wouldnt start, so I go into her garage and pop the hood and jump start it with my power pack. I TURN OUROUND AND THERES A TIGER 200 SITTING IN THE CORNER! I walked over and looked at it and the thing is MINT, just a little muddy and dusty. I didn't even ask becuase she is very hard of hearing, and you know little old ladies.. she probably doesn't even know its there! WHAT SHOULD I DO?? WHAT SHOULD I OFFER?? Lifetime free driveway plowing??

well, don't let it sit there. go talk to her about it and see what her plans are for it and then I guess see if she'll give you a price. hell, I'd plow her driveway for the rest of my life! also like billy said, tell her that your into trikes

I think you should go down on her for it lol just kidding. Does she have any kids around. Chances are her son knows what it is worth and he mom will remind him that is still in her garage. You might get lucky and she will say just take it. If you dont get it just take pics anyway

Okay guys heres the deal. I went over there a today and talked/yelled to her about it. Her son lives up north and got it when he was about 19 years old, she says its been sitting in there for about 12 years and believes that it has engine problems of some kind. She gave me his number and I'm goind to call him tomorrow!!

And by the way, to you trike appraisers out there, whats a good offer to throw out? I know it isn't running but the plastics and stuff look real good, I'll try and take a pic with my phone next time i'm there.

I would start around $500. I know its worth way more then that, that number is just a starting price. I would start there, and work with it.

Good luck!!! :w00t:

Ask if you can at least roll it out of the corner so you can get some really good ones.

While we are on the Tiger subject, what is the quality of them compared to say a Honda? They don't look as well thought out to me, from what I had seen anyway.

What supplier for the engine, forks and rear shock do they use?

How about the brake assemblies?

well the frames are made out of chromoly, the brakes are magura, i think most of the shocks were fox, and im not sure about forks.

ATC-Eric

01-10-2007, 02:33 PM

All of them were hand made. I have read that the frames are a bit weak, they cut down on weight wherever they could.

The engines are Rotax.

Thanks! I see in the 3WW info link on it that no one knows who the founder of the company is?

" June 11th, 1984 some person, Who we wish we knew the name of formed a company called "Tiger ATV, LTD"

That's weird that no one can find out the true identidy of the guy?

Are you joking, or did you not read Mohawks threads about his Tiger? The founder was Peter Wood. It sucks that Mohawk deleted most of his posts about his Tiger situation. Very upseting.

I hate to bring that up again, I can already see this turning bad.......:(

Huffa

01-10-2007, 08:18 PM

Nope, I didn't read them. If it's Peter Wood why is it not updated in the Tiger info on it then?

Guess they just did not get around to it yet?

Is the guy still living? Anyone ever talk to him?

" I hate to bring that up again, I can already see this turning bad...... "

Long story short: Member Mohawk found a nice condition Tiger 125, cleaned it up and threw it on ebay. Got a bunch of heat from some other members about this and that, lot of bans, lot of locked threads, and a huge whaping amount of drama!!!!!!

Was cool though, he meet Peter Woods the founder of the company. They became good friends.

My opinion: Mohawk seems like a good guy. To much Drama and he decided to delete all his posts and take off. Threads are still there, you can get the jist. Search Mohawk for more info.

PS I really only said I see this turning bad because someone already called BS on this Tiger.

OK, well understood, Thank You.

So are most Tigers most likely to be out west or they could be anywhere in the USA? Were there dealers strung about here and there or they only made it to a selected few?

Do some on 3WW know who most of the dealers were? Do I ask a bit too many ?'s ? :lol:

If its complete!!! not that crazy of a price. I might be interested in it. I wouldnt be afraid of it for tha price if it is totally complete. You can not buy anything that cool new for that kinda money.

Agree, 3000 for something that rare is not a ouch at all. Ouch in the sense that it could have been a lot cheaper though (if the guy was not onto the rareity of it), that I will agree on. Too bad he knows what he has but must not be into it or he would be on 3WW with it!

Not sure if anyone on here knows him but I asked him to please join 3WW and post some pic's of his machines. Also asked if he would ever be selling any.

I'll let you know if he comes back with an answer but better yet would be if we saw him right on here!

I can get you almost any engine part you need. If not, I can give you phone #s of who does. The engine parts are not that hard to find, its everything else on the tiger that is, like fenders, triples, swingarm, etc.

ATC-Eric

01-10-2007, 11:18 PM

Hey Huffa,

The owner of the company said the production numbers were less then 1000 total if I remember correctly. I wish Mohawk hadnt deleted all that stuff!!!:mad:

I dont think there were "dealers" persay. The reason why you didnt see many racing back in the day is because it was hard to get your hands on one. There was a long waiting list.

Huffa

01-10-2007, 11:35 PM

Yeah, $3000 is alot considering it has no compression.. and are rotax enine kits easy to come by? I'm thinking hard about it, he said he would have asked more if I wasn't friends with his mom. Its really gonna tap me dry but i know its the only chance I'll ever have to own a tiger.

So no pictures of it?

Tell ya what, start a new post on "how much would you pay for a tiger that needs some engine work" and we will all say between 18 & 2300 or so or whatever you want us to say, then print it out and take it over to the guy with 2000 in your hand, walk away if he doesn't take it, you can always come back in a day or two but give him a chance to think about it.

Maybe he is just testing you and you should be stearn on 2000 or so and hell break and strike a better deal then?

erectordale

01-10-2007, 11:37 PM

I talked too Mohawk who had talked too Peter wood (founder of Tiger atv) From what Mohawk told me there was under 500 total machines made. Tiger spent 1/4 mill $$ on rotax engines and parts in total with a average cost around 300.00 per machine for the engine. if you divide this it comes out too 833.3 machines that had rotax bought engines. This is in total all years ! Peter did not have a exact # of machines but said there was fewer 80cc ,125cc and 500cc trikes than 200 or 250cc machines built and just a very few super 4 quads built . I hope this helps. A little note on engine parts on the 500cc they are getting rare pistons are stock only. 250cc parts are common and most all are still available the 200cc is a sleeved down 250cc .Rotax never built a 200cc liquid cooled engine . pistons are rare and sleeves don't exist other than that the rest are 250cc parts any more info Just ask as I have lots of info

70ATC90

01-10-2007, 11:53 PM

Man they are rare! Well, I didn't want to argue with him on the price because he seemed like he totally didn't care whether I was going to buy it or not... and it seems like its 3 or nothing with him. Its either a ring for my girl or a tiger for me.. i'm torn.

Orangecnty250r

01-10-2007, 11:54 PM

Yes when you compare those numbers to about 40,000 1985 and 1986 ATC 250rs combined you can appreciate them a little more. Last time Mohawk posted he said about 50 tiger 4 wheelers were produced. He said the 125cc's were the least number of three wheelers but I dont think that includes the 80cc machines that werent listed on most of the Tiger ads. 200s/250s are by a long shot the most common. In further comparision Tricky Dicky produced about 200 cagivas which was higher # than I thought.

I'm willing to bet its the same guy, as he told me he has a storgage unit and garage full of 360 kits, honda speedo drives and meters, 300 kits, and everything the tiger dealer he bought out had, he asid he also has 2 250's and one 500.

Huffa

01-11-2007, 04:53 PM

Huffa, the guy you might be talking to sounds like 3tigers (already a member under that name), he's the only one I know that has a 80 and 3 other machines.

To get dealer pricing you had to order 3 total, so in theory there could be quite a few people out there who'd have called themselfs dealers.

Yea, I think your right as later he told me he is a member here but does not come on much any more. Who knows, he might be reading all of this because I told him at the moment there is pretty heavy disscussion on Tigers on 3WW and that's when he said he is a member.

He has a brand new 80cc Tiger radiator on ebay right now, that's how I "met" him, I wrote to him.
