Brian,
The info you provided came in handy today when I went to take a look at a bike my neighbor told me about. The bike has been sitting in one of his co-worker's backyard storage shed for many, many years collecting dust. The bike turned out to be a 1985 KTM 125MXC and looks to be be in nice spape and only ridden sparingly. The guy who owns the bike bought it new at the local KTM dealer here in Tulsa Jan. 17, 1985 and still has the original title. It is missing the front and side number plates but other than that appears to be complete and original right down to the Metzler tires. The engine turns over freely and seems to have decent compression so I'll bet is it will run with some fresh fuel and a little tinkering. This one has a disc brake up front plus the upside down front forks which I guess might be the first time KTM used this set-up on a production bike. I know it won't be AHRMA legal but I'm still leaning toward buying the bike because it probably would make a nice project and show bike. Let me know what you think. I'll be glad to send you a few pictures if you shoot me an email. My email address is my screen name on this site followed by @cox.net.

I've already emailed him this morning , hopefully I can get the both the pipe and the motor

[slvrbrdfxr]

Yes, I saw the ad for the engine on Mark's site this morning too but did not contact the seller. The ad is poorly worded and is hard to determine if he has the KTM pipe for sale. The pipe he has pictured in the ad is for a Yamaha IT200.

The other pipe is correct for the 125.

Dave,

I would get the bike anyway. You didnt hear it from me, but if you put on the '84 fork, front wheel, seat, tank, and radiator shrouds on the '85 you would have the same bike as the '84 and no AHRMA tech inspector would know the difference, wink wink.

All of the parts you need are on eBay right now, you could buy the parts for less than $200 probably.
