Title: Arizona Mikes 495 KTM.
Post by: firko on August 02, 2013, 03:14:27 pm: Surprisingly for old Mike, this bike doesn't seem to be one of Heinz Kinigadners works Katos. Instead it looks to be a nicely built and well priced 495.

People forget that these bikes are very dam fast ( still hold the land speed record for dirt bikes) Brad and I had one that did flat 11's over the 1/4 mile.
Guess what' whilst at warp speed with flimsy drum brakes stuff gets hit hard very hard ;).

Post by: Vintmxman on August 03, 2013, 07:53:54 am: He basically doubled all of the bike prices and then called a liquidation sale at 50 percent off...some countries have laws against shit like this..sadly we don't here in the USA...typical bait...for Az Mike.

Post by: Maicojames on August 08, 2013, 07:56:06 am: Yes Firko...but it's actually a 1980 fitted with a 495 engine. Imo a better racer would be a 1981 with the 420 engine. Jad one in 02 wasn't worth much then,
