SUPER rare TIGER 125 almost done (pics!!!!)

[Orangecnty250r]

Well I am on the final stretch here :w00t: :w00t: ...... the braking system and a few small odds and ends and its done. This is the tiger 125 MBG175 had here on the boards had on Long Island a few years back ....it ended up in the tiger buyout I completed in PA last December. This 125 is one of two authentic reddish orange later model tigers 125's known to exist. 3tigers has the other one. I think he may have had this one a while back but not sure...it was rough!!!!!Mohawks 125 was an earlier prototype...I bought that as well and used the low hour running motor that was in it in this machine. Read the info on my webpage to see all the real differences in these TIGER 125's.... they are not simply other tigers with a 125 motor in them (I learned that from having all the parts of all the machines and comparing mine to 3tigers machines pics on the tiger page on this site and some other pics of the 125's I have. Anyway I am real pleased with how it's turning out and am I going to email the previous two owners these pics...The Tiger 500 is on its way to being this authentic and nice as well but thats a few months away!!!!!! Hope the TIGER fans enjoy.

Wow, what a rare and beautiful piece of off road history. Nice to know that there are people out there who have the passion and knowledge to properly restore these machines. And then the self dicipline to keep from tearing them up once they are finished. Do you ride each one carefully to make sure it is running properly, before preparing them for storage? Oh, and the 500 can't wait for that one!

WOW! That's the coolest looking little trike-I was looking at the head, with it's fins & I thought it was an air cooled unit & then I noticed the radiator cap sticking out the left shroud there-So it's water cooled? Could you post up more shots of the radiator & hoses? I'm in total awe, very nice job, OC250R! What kinda power does that baby put out, & what trikes competed with it back in the day?

Yup its water cooled with fins....I have to get some new hoses...others were trashed ....when I get them on and tie up the other loose ends I'll add some updated pics....thanks to all for the compliments

[ATC-Eric]

Just stunning. Im very happy for you.

Now I need to know what you do for a living! Im in the wrong business to be able to aford toys like that! :lol:

[ProCarbine2k1]

I wish you would sign the adoption papers I sent you... In case you forgot, I am 22, addicted to trikes, and dont eat much (mostly junkfood). lol
Fill us in with some before pics if you can, heck give us the story behind this thing (before you had it if the last owner told you). I have this feeling this one might have an interesting history...

[iowarotax]

I would think that 125 is better than when it left the Tiger factory! Great job! The final line up will be SWEET!! I hope mine turn out 1/2 as good as yours OC.

[Dirtcrasher]

Simply amazing....

I don't know what you do for a living but you do it well!

Great job on ALL your 3 wheeler "restorations". If that word needs to be defined then this is it. The rest of us are merely patching them up, LOL !

[Black86tri-z]

man you do awsome work !!!

[riverrat]

That's awesome stuff OC.

Hey where do you ride? We are close to each other. We should ride one day together.

[Jason Hall]

Awesome man, I wish I could make myself be that patient & do the little things that make your collection just so friggin perfect. It really shows that you love these machine's thats for sure. GREAT work.

[Black86tri-z]

when your done restoring then do you start them??????? how does that lil 125 go,i image it's a lil bad ass to ride around!

[Yamaha Tri-Moto]

You always have the nicest toys Orangecnty (except maybe my 84R lol) Very amazing ride, keep em coming.

[Shawn72]

Beautiful job!!!! Chalk up another one brought back to life!!!!

[fastleo]

[Orangecnty250r]

Yes I plan on taking this one for a quick spin.....but the one I really really want to ride is the TIGER 500 when done....I'll take a video of that

[3leggeddog]

[Bigbore]

That by far is the nicest restoration I've ever seen. The attention to detail is awsome. Your doing beautiful work.:beer

If, for what ever reason, you ever need to let something go, let me know.

Thanks!!!! I started putting the tiger 500 together yesterday as a mock up before its broken down again...You aint seen nothing yet ;)

[Hornetpowerspor]

That is looking great.You have one hell of a collection! Keep up the good work!!!

[AZ250R]

I've always liked the idea of that machine but never saw one as nice, great work! Can we get a close up of the swinger / sticker, cause thats one PROUD TRIKE. :w00t:

[84honda200s]

im drolling all over my self. no lie i really am. ive always wanted a tiger. mainly for thier looks and most of all their power plant. rotax is a very well known 2 stroke in the snowmobile world. its all ive ever owned and liked. i wish i could own my 2 favorite things wraped into 1. rotax and trikes is my top 2 things. i feel privileged to even live in the same state as you and your tigers. man you are doing one hell of a nice job on them. im glad to see a trike poacher didnt get to em and you did. again man great job and sorry for the rambling.

[Black86tri-z]
