dirtbike · July 26, 2003, 09:29:30 AM

Is there anybody out there that have any old magazine tests or shootouts of KTM's between 1976 and 1984?

James · July 26, 2003, 01:09:37 PM

I don't have much but...1981 125 shootout (DIRT BIKE) and 1982 495 test ( Cycle World).
these are mags I bought new (when I was 13-14 yrs old). Kind of rough but let me know if you need one of these. I will try to dig out and copy. Thanks, James

I have bike parts in the kitchen cabinets where most people have dishes..

James..
The 1982 495 test would be awesome. Is there a way that you could scan them and mail them over ? I would be very grateful..

I will dig it out tomorrow. we have a scanner-I think it is not very good. If not I will copy and snail mail. E-mail me . Thanks, James

Hi, of course but you see, I live in sweden.
I don't think that the stamp will be that expensive but I don't know. Thought you should know before. On the other hand, I could give you the address to a friend in CA that can scan and mail them if that's ok with you.

Yes I knew you are in Sweden, but I will spare the husky jokes. LOL. Sure give me that address and I will mail to it. Thanks, James

I have the following:
Cycle World: '75 Mint 400 vs. Maico 440 (Penton zap vs. Maico grunt!!)
Dirt Bike: '76 250 MC5 (the famous one with the bike in the motel room - they were on a road trip to vist Dick Mann "you have to sleep with her to really get to know her")
Cycle News: '78 250 MC5, tested down in Georgia at Barry Higgins'.
Are any of these of interest to you?
Mike

Of course they interest me. I'll gladly take it all. Do you have a scanner. It would be great with scanned pix by mail.
