1981 KTM 250 - AHRMA

Description

For saleis a pretty rare 1981 KTM 250 I have had in the collection. I decided to part with it because I had a chance to acquire and equally rare 1981 KTM 495. If you are a KTM fan you already know how hard these bikes are to find in good conditionThis is a great find for a KTM fan. It has been a collector/display bike while in my possession. The previous owner had the frame and swing arm powder coated and the top end done. It hasgood compression and usually starts on the 1st or 2nd kick and idles as it should. The plastic and decals are new and there is new tank skin on this bike as well. Seat cover I new as well. I started working on the spokes with lace luster and they are looking great.

You will need to go through this bike prior to prepare it for trail riding or racing. The shocks will need fresh oil and a charge, aybe seals but I don't see oil leaking (parts are available through Thor suspension). Forks seem good and there are no leaks.I just went through the carb this past weekend and thoroughly cleaned and rebuilt it (Parts for the Bing carb are available through the BingAgency, S). I don't recall seeing another one of these modelsfor sale over the past5 +years. Thisis a very good core bike andwould not take much effort to make it areal show piece.If you have any questions feel free to contact me and I would be happy to answer them. I realize this is quite a bit of money (at least itis for me) so I am ok with taking a two or three part payment as long as it does not stretch beyond a month or two.( I will also be listing a few other rare vintage MX bikes soon). Thank you
