KTMs seem like a fantastic bike to have. I've never ridden a dirt bike, so I've never researched or watched that world (as far as models), but even I've heard how mean KTM's are. Be why I'm interested in that 525 ktm motor in a IRS version of my current atv.

One of my other toyz i play around with on the trails, a 1968 Honda Z-50 mini bike bought for 100$, now people have offered as high as 600$ to buy it cause its just the perfect little bike to get you places, and can even pull around my 200lbs cousin

ktm's are some of the best bikes i've ridden next to my kawasaki kx250f, i cannot explain to you how fast my 250f was. it would pull the front wheel up like crazy. it was crazy fast.

Just picked it up yesterday. 83 200x. $400. Note extra tires, extra plastic and seat (the stock 200x seat), and 2 extra gas tanks haha.



And my big *** standing on first time. Thinking "Yuuup. I'm gonna die".

Incase you are wondering, this is 2nd floor of the building we own. Was a Ford dealership between about 1955-1975. They stored cars up stairs and we still do to this day. Can fit close to 30 cars on the 2nd floor but the years have taken its tole on the building. Last year for storage and got some new planes with all the space through State granting and community ideas....

Not the fastest thing off-road, but it likes to have fun in the dirt...

We have a Ford 9N at the property that's in pretty decent shape but doesnt want to rev up. It idles fine but soon as you try to go under load it starts chugging and dies. Really wanted to play on it that day lol

Sounds like ignition. Either points are set wrong or the distributor condenser is on the fritz.

I was gonna take a guess it was carb and OLD gas related. Gumming it up and choking it on fuel. Idles perfectly fine in any idle range. Can even idle fine at lowest point barely chugging. Soon as you start letting off the clutch she'll start lugging and die if you don't push clutch back in.

This thing has sat outside for years now. It's repainted and all that fun stuff, step dad took it on trade for work awhile ago and ran perfectly fine. It's just ended up not being used and getting a flat tire since.
