The Tiger Boxer 200 is probably one of the biggest mysteries in the Thai motorcycle market. Not much information is available about the Tiger Boxer 200, which on its own is not a bad bike at all. The Tiger Boxer 200 was developed with the help of Italian sporty motorcycle manufacture Cagiva Motors, and for a short moment also marketed in Southeast Asia as the Cagiva F4.
The Tiger Boxer 200 (and the Boxer 250RS) are both based on the Cagiva F4 (not the current Cagiva F4 which is a superbike), I digged in the foto albums and pulled out a oldie
The Tiger Boxer is designed by Cagiva at the time that MV Agusta (mother company of Cagiva) was owned by Proton Malaysia. Proton wanted to get a few models quickly on the Southeast Asian markets, import duty from Europe was extreme high, so Proton looked for partners to build and sell the newly designed motorcycles. And the Boxer 200 is a result of this partnership.
In Thailand, Proton found a suitable partner in Tiger Motorcycles, the deal did not go as well as it was planned. Proton got into a bit financial difficulty and decided to let the MV Augusta go, I belief it was sold for 1 US$ back to a group of Italian investors. (currently MV Augusta is merged with Harley Davidson).
