KTM MC-5 400 description
1978 KTM MC-5 400. I bought this 2 years ago and thought I would have some time to ride
it but that's not going to happen. Had Chicago J. do some head work to tame the beast down but I still have not even started it, but he has and he rode it. Chain, tires, brakes all seem good. I have installed new fork seals, air filter, rebuilt both petcocks, new seat cover, chain case saver, new grips. Will give a bill of sale, has no title. It has a factory side stand on it but you can see from the pictures that I don't trust it. |

Rok Bagoros' stunt KTM 690 Duke
Thu, 26 Apr 2012KTM's official stunt rider Rok Bagoros has stepped up from his 125 Duke to this factory prepared 690 Duke.

Fri, 03 Jun 2011KTM announced it will return to Grand Prix road racing in 2012 with a new racebike for the new 250cc four-stroke Moto3 class. The Austrian manufacturer discontinued its Grand Prix road racing program in 2009, withdrawing from the 125cc class (pictured above is current Moto2 racer Marc Marquez racing for the KTM factory team in the 2009 125cc class). With the Moto3 class set to replace the 125cc class in 2012, KTM will return with a new racebike.
