1978 MC5 400cc For Sale

[penton117]

Hi Guys,

I have decided to sell the 400 KTM which I recently unearthed. I thought I would offer it up to my fellow POGgers first and if not I will put it on Ebay.
It had been sitting for a long time, but appeared quite stock and original. It has the original seat cover, which tells me it is probably a pretty low-hour bike. The tires are old and hard but hold air. I would give it some new rubber before racing it. Speaking of racing, I don't think this bike had ever been raced, as there no evidence of numbers every being on it.

When I got it, I removed the Bing carburator and cleaned it out. Everything looked fine, so I reassembled it, put in fresh gas and a new plug and it started right up. One blast down the street told me this thing is waaaay fast! It shifts fine, brakes work fine, no leaks. I was considering racing it myself, but I just built a 250, which is enough for me.

So, if anyone is interested, I want $1,500 U.S. dollars for it. It is located in Southern California and Photos can be seen at //www.spodeteam.com/400KTM.html
