Hi, I am looking at 1978 KTM 400 (blue gas tank) MC5? , any ball park what the value of this bike is ? It is in very good to excellant condition. Thanks for any imput ! Waiting on the specific details of the bike . Thanks Matt
I'm thinking that all the 78 MC's were orange frame and white tank. At least that was the orignal colors. I could be wrong!

Donny,
I thought they were too ? Orange tank and white frame , interesting waiting on some more details .
Thanks,
Matt
West Coast '77 KTM GS6 models had Jackpiner-blue tanks and silver frame. I did a rider-restoration on a well-run '77 250 GS6 with blue tank with new paint, tires, seat cover, nos pipe, fenders, fresh piston, reed valve, etc and sold it last winter to Tucson Skip for $2500, fair deal I think.
If original, unrestored and in good/excellent shape, the Italians are especially hungry, could be that or more.
Big Mac,
That's right, but I thought he said 1978!?!?

I am waiting on the specifics , thanks Q
I have seen a couple of West Coast 76/77 KTM MC5 250's on ePay that had blue tanks and side panels also, so it could be any one of those bikes, but I have never yet seen a 78 with blue panels and tank. The frame serial number would tell for sure. Mike
