77 KTM's would have to be  among the prettiest MX bikes ever made.....and they work.....I think you need to get hold of this one Mick....something different for the pre78 125 class....go for it.

Sadly the 125 were nothing special power wise and there heavy, very heavy. The bikes were mostly 250's with smaller barrels so they weigh more than the 250. They do look dam lovely and I would have one in the shed. I could say that about the Monty VB 125 as well, but the KTM wont brake down. Bill has one in Aus that is original unrestored and I think some guy from Queensland has one as well. Bill takes his to CD.

I guess that's why they put Honda engines in the 74's and called them Penda's..
