1984 125 questions

[Jeff D]

There is a 1984 KTM 125 for sale close to me, supposed to be at a garage sale this weekend, asking $700 if I remember right.  What's the scoop on this model year 125?  Any good?  Worth grabbing if it's in good shape?  Parts availability?  Strengths and weaknesses?  Any info appreciated!

Gary Ellis has about 25 of them, he loves them.

Unless I am mistaken, someone on POG posted an article that stated the 1984 KTM was the fastest 125 out there.   I believe it was a water-cooled model.  Maybe ask Rob Warlow.  Joe

Jeff these are great bikes. Only down fall is the water pump area, back in the day the anti-freeze would corrode it. If you have any questions give me a call 217 260 0237  Later Gary

Michael, Yes, that is exactly the article which was photo-printed in the back of my mind, and I remember it being posted by Bob Warlow.  This website is a wealth of knowledge.  Great job locating the post and re-posting it.  Joe
