82 KTM 495
« on: October 27, 2009, 11:38:23 pm »
Guys - currently seriously contemplating a big bore.  I want something different to all the CRs and YZs out there and since it ain't going to elevate me from back of the pack anyway was thinking maybe RM, KX or KTM. 

I think I know where there is an 82 495 available.  Was there much difference between 82, 83, 84 or worries I should consider?

Ta.

I got a 83 495 in reasonable condition, started the resto , but other things taking my time, will need the clutch looked at as it slips, otherwise everything there and in good condition. Got it from las vegas..cost me $2500
