Rarest KTM

[VICTOR MONZ]

My guess, and only a guess, so please don't ####### me, but I think the Juniorcross is probably quite rare, only 2 were made, I think and I have heard 1 is in Amherst.

I'm sure the more experienced historians will correct me, should this not be true.

By the way, how many of the gold/yellow Harescramblers were made?  I know at least 2, cause I have 2 of them.

Flyinhigh,
You have two very nice bikes, the red 250 is not all that rare but could be some what rare depending on which tank and Pipe it has. Personally I have not seen that many red tank 250's. The 76 MC5 125 is alot more rare. a quick look back through this thread and you will see why... Both of these bike are worth being restored.. I have a 76 mc5 250 that I bought brand new.... how could I put a price tag on that.... I had thought of restoring it to like new, even though I still ride it from time to time so it looks like it had been ridden, I choose instead to preserve it the way I rode it back when I raced it back in the day... when I was young and had more money than sense. It seemed the right thing to do so I was not only preserving the bike in a general sense but also how it was raced when it was the fastest thing on the track and I preserve the aftermarket upgrades that were in use at the time as well..
In a sense... the rarest bike is the one I own because there are so very few bikes that are still owned by their orginal owners. Not that I am special or all that smart.. I was just dumb enough or too scared to ever sell the bike and so I still own it...

Don't forget the Penton Woodsman, I think about 77 or so were made from the best looking bike on the planet,(The Penton Trials)

The real question here may be not how many were produced, but how many survive today. How many didn't go to the dump, or scrap yard? How many are still unused in somebodies garage, basement, barn or even in a hedgerow some place. How many can we save??? The more we lose the more valuable the ones that we rescue become. If one comes along and you can't justify picking it up, do it anyway and post here and somebody who does want it will probably procure it. Don't let any slip away.[^]
