I don't recognize the engine, so could it be a can-am

Oh.... I didn't even know it said Rotax up there lol. I just think it looks a lot like the old 250 Bombardier MX bike motor from back in the day..

Cool, never have seen one of those before.....also did not know Tiger made a quad back in the day. They made a 500cc 2 stroke 3wheeler (it was obscenely fast) back in the mid 80s for a year or two but then they just kind of slipped away.....whatever happened to Tiger, did they go bankrupt or something, anyone know?

No one actually knows what happened, on a site they had found that the factory was torn down, and there was an old MX track for testing.

Ive seen the tiger 500cc 3wheeler, but not the quad, im pretty impressed, that thing restored(god help the person to find the parts) would be a nice collectors item....

I remember a post a couple years ago on here that got pretty indepth about them. God I want it, but looks like it would break just looking at the thing. I wonder where you would get a magneto for it (says it needs one)

But it would definitely be cool to have and restore
