Gone Orange (KTM)

[mike-evans]

Decided to get another MX 2 stroke bike and have bought a KTM125 2002 (being delivered Saturday 9th Feb)......

Never had a KTM before, always had Hondas, Yams and Kawasakis..

So the KTM will be a learning experience for me :cool: any concerns with the KTM 125s?

Do they come standard with V-Force reed/block?

I would not say it will be a learning experience. It will certainly be different than a Japanese bike but over all a nice machine. The juice clutch is always nice too.

This 2002 KTM didnt happen, the guy started the bike before delivering it to me, and the engine died and would not start again........ so he says! I think he had a better offer

Anyway, I found a nice KTM 125SX 2006 which I bought. Seems verg good, good first impression, plenty of power, and the hydraulic clutch does feel nice. The guy owned it for 12months and hardly rode it, hes unsure of top end life as he never changed it, so this will be done soon by myself..

Whats people views on KTMs, are they better than Jap bikes?
