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 …
1 Owner – 1973 Penton Jackpiner
Post Sale Update: After a hefty 50 bids, this Jackpiner sold for $7,000. The Jackpiner is a very important motorcycle in KTMs history of expansion to the US – this was the first Penton to utilize a KTM motor. ’73 was the first year of the model and KTM considered it to be so iconic that in 1997 that released …
Ex-HMC Racer – 2013 KTM SMR450
Post Listing Update; This SMR was relisted a few times but it never got any interest at a lower BIN price of $10,500. The SMR450 is one of KTM’s best examples of their “Ready to Race” motto. Fast, rare, and aggressive, it’s a great platform to compete in supermoto racing with – if you can find one. This example stands …
1975 Penton KTM Hare Scrambler 250
Post Sale Update: After 25 bids on eBay, this Penton sold for $5,400. In 1968, John Penton and KTM started their fruitful relationship when they built some prototypes that eventually became the Penton Berkshire, powered by Sachs 100cc engines. In ’73, the Penton Hare Scrambler was introduced with a new 250cc KTM engine, and the rest was history.
Well Modded Single – 2014 KTM Duke 690
When KTM updated the Duke to a 690 in 2008, it gained crazy robot alien styling that I thought fit the bike’s personality quite well. It’s stayed at 690cc since, though the styling has mellowed out a bit. These bikes are known to be a lot of fun, but this example stands out thanks to some quality modifications.
Sub $10K Salvage Title – 2014 KTM 1190 Adventure
The reason for the rebuilt title on this KTM seems a little dubious, but for this price I’d say this bike is worth a closer look.
Dakar Competitors – 2013 and 2014 KTM 450 RRs
Team Rally Pan Am is “America’s premier motorcycle rally team,” and they’ve been competing for years all over the world. Last year their two riders (Ian Blythe and Scott Bright) placed 26th and 52nd in the Dakar Rally respectively, including a top 10 stage finish by Blythe – 8th place in stage 11. Now both those bikes are up for …
2004 CCM Rotax 600 Flat Tracker
Post-Sale Update: This Rotax flat tracker sold for $3,960 after 27 bids on eBay. A few of you mentioned that you enjoy seeing some well-built flat trackers last week, so I’m happy to oblige with yet another Rotax-powered example from the estate of David Molitor.
Oxymoron – 2010 KTM 990 SMT
The idea of touring on a supermoto bike doesn’t make much sense to me, but KTM somehow made it work with their SMT model – a motorcycle that Visordown called “the most sensible KTM in ages.” Here’s a pretty example of an uncommon bike that gets bonus points in my book because the seller has created an excellent example of …
Nice Price – 2010 KTM 530 EXC Champions Edition
If you’re in Northeast Pennsylvania, here’s a great deal on an excellent street-legal off-roader that’s been well modified.
Ending Soon – New 1997 KTM 200LE Jackpiner
Post Listing Update: This Jackpiner was relisted several times, though it never met reserve and the highest bidding ever got was 22 bids up to $3,900. You’re either going to look at this bike and drool, or wonder what the big deal is. If you fall in the latter camp, here’s a refresher of how KTM came to be in …
1977 Penton GS6 125
Post Listing Update: This GS6 did not meet reserve with 3 bids up to $3,050. From the last year before Penton evolved into KTM, this GS6 is a restored example of the 125cc model.
Custom Framed – KTM 450 Dual Sport
Like many off-roaders, the builder of this bike wanted a lighter, slimmer, and lower version of the KTM 990 Adventure. Unlike said off-roaders, he basically built it himself. Based on the geometry of the 990 ADV, this custom-framed bike featured the drivetrain of a new 2013 KTM 450XC-W, so you can still travel wherever you want…just now with a seat …
One Off – 2015 KTM 550 SX “Factory Edition”
Post Sale Update: After 63 bids on eBay, this awesome KTM custom sold for $10,400. KTM offers 250 and 450 versions of the SX Factory Edition, but Jeff Moffet of Oregon Motorcycle Adventures KTM decided to go crazy and somehow shoved a 1994 KTM 550MXC engine into a lightweight 250 Factory Edition frame. 70 insane two stroke horses in a …
