2 thoughts on “Buyer’s guide for KTM”
I got to say that KTM builds a quality line of motor cycles and the only manufacturer to take on the big 4 Japanese company’s and compete with them, I never owned one but my friends dad owned a KTM shop and I got to ride 125cc- 250cc and 500cc two Strokes in the mid 90,s they all worked great.Out of all the 500,s I raced the KTM 500 was the fastest bike I had ever ridden, KTM,s are built of quality parts like rims,bars,anodized swing arms, chains and sprockets descent graphics that last unlike Jap 1 lap stuff. They started out winning world championships and are still doing it today.
Something about the KTM bikes scream DIRT…I need to really test ride one some day…might have to tap into a friend of mine who works at a dealer who sells these bikes and inquire if he has a used one I can take out on the trails.
