Just finished this KTM.  It came to me in a big box 2 weeks ago.  I am new to the POG and cant wait to run this vintage 250. May bring it down to AMA POG meeting Saturday.

That's one beautiful bike.Of all the KTM's I owned and/or rode that is my all time Favorite KTM.I won many races on that bike. Just fit me perfect. I'd wear a front tire out from braking about monthly if i recall correctly. Comes to my Penton's it's my 73 Berkshire my dad built me. That Berkie would haul the mail all day long.

Wow,  I would love to see that bike at the AMA museum this weekend.  Really great job on it, and FOX shocks, too.

So thats what a 78 front wheel looks like, mine had a 79 front wheel on it... Nice bike... I loved mine while I had it, and I won alot of races on that bike too....

I think next to paint codes, the most asked question is "how to post pics"  Go to "Searching the Message Board" and type in "how to post pics"  (my question) You'll see 454MRW's reply  it works great.  after a little practice you'll be a pro.

Nice suspension for sure, I'm hoping you have a drive chain?
