A colleague of mine in the motorcycle industry is picking up a KTM Super Adventure T, so his well-modified 950 Adventure S has to go to a new owner. The bike is named Aretha (after Aretha Franklin) and it’s very well setup for someone who wants to get into adventure touring for a reasonable price.
Schmidt Performance Build – 2004 KTM 450 EXC
Built by Dave Schmidt of Schmidt Performance, this impressive KTM was just featured in Dirt Bikes magazine. As a stock bike it had plenty of power, but now with suspension and motor modifications Dirt Bikes says it can outrun most new OEM dual sporters.
Well Prepped in British Columbia – 2008 Husaberg FE550
The seller of this bike has spent some serious time and money upgrading his Husaberg as he apparently never planned on selling it. His loss means someone’s about to get a serious all-terrain machine – will it be you?
Custom Streetfighter in Australia – 2008 KTM RC8R
Starting with KTM’s RC8 superbike, Australia tuner MC RoadRunner (MCRR) has created a hell of a naked speedster after over 200 hours of work. Is it easier to wheelie? Absolutely. Would you rather have this than a stock RC8R? You tell me.
Restored Mini in England – 1995 KTM 50 SX
Post Listing Update: This little KTM was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. In 1995, the seller of this bike acquired it as his first bike ever. Over the last 5 years, he has sourced the parts required to make it like new again.
A Weekend With the AWD Rev’It #95!
It’s Sunday morning, and I’ve been working up the courage to try this for hours. It’s finally time to forget my instincts and see what happens when I hold a slide around a corner and then whack the throttle open. On a normal big enduro, that’s an easy way to turn a slide into a lowside. But this is no …
Erzberg Edition – 2009 KTM 950 Super Enduro
Post Listing Update: I’m stunned that this got no action at the opening bid of $8,500. I’ve seen much higher sale prices on ADVRider. KTM’s 950 Super Enduro was already one of the most impressive big dual sports ever built, but the Austrian firm decided to make something a little bit fancier with the limited edition Erzberg Edition. Hard Enduro …
1 of 500 – 1982 Puch Magnum Limited
Post Listing Update: This Puch Magnum Limited did not get any interest at the opening bid of $1,500. Puch ended their venerable Magnum line of mopeds with a limited production run of 500 – these were called the LTD or Limited. It was basically a Magnum MKII with special cosmetics and a numbered plaque – this one is 147 out …
One Owner – 2000 KTM Duke II
One of the first semi-popular supermotos in the US, the KTM Duke II was a revelation for the lucky few that got to enjoy it. Lots of sportbike riders looked down upon a bike with “just” 50 horsepower, but the comfortable ergonomics and light weight made this an excellent hooligan bike. Get used to riding with the front wheel off …
Restored Cheetah – 1961 Puch DS60
Puch called it the DS60, though you may have seen it in the US as the Cheetah – it was sold through Sears Allstate department stores. Pre ’65 models featured a twistgrip shift, later bikes went to a foot shifter. These aren’t too hard to find (I’ll share three with you in this post), but it’s rare to see a …
Fast Orange – 2009 KTM RC8
KTM has always built some great dirt and enduro bikes. Their top-of-the-line Adventure Series go head-to-head with BMW GS’s. Their early street bikes were mainly supermoto-type derivatives of the mid-displacement dirt bikes. Think KTM 690 Supermoto. The RC8 was their first go at the pure Superbike market. First available in the US as a 2009 model, it was an 1,148cc …
Barely Used – 2016 KTM 500 EXC Six Days
Some great deals can be had when someone buys a new bike but then has to get rid of it quickly. This awesome KTM Six Days has just 3 hours, 70 miles, a whole bunch of extras – and a ~$2,000 discount.
1979 KTM 420 MX
In their review of this bike, Motorcyclist called this “the Austrian Earthmover”. Whatever you call it, here’s a pleasant example that’s had a little bit of work done recently.
$1,600 – 1966 Sears Allstate 175 Twingle
7-2-16 Update: A year later, this Twingle is back up for sale, but hopefully this time it will sel asit’s being offered with no reserve. Find it with an unmet opening bid of $600 here on eBay. Post Listing Update: This bike got one bid at $1,200 but that wasn’t enough to meet reserve. This well-worn twingle (the smaller of …
Restomod – 1990 KTM 500 Supermoto
Many MX riders consider the big bore two stroke days when you could get a CR500, KX500 or this KTM 500 MX to be the peak of off-road dirt bikes – when manufacturers were getting so out of hand that their flagship bikes were only mastered by a select few. If those were the days that you now look back …
