81 KTM LC 125 , Evo or Pre 85

True and being the wrong side of 90 kg I never going to win a 125 race, Option might be to fit the 1980 engine being fully air cooled.

Dont take this the wrong way but would you go much quicker on the later model bike  me personally i dont think im any quicker on my 1975 RM 125S than i am on my 1979 KX 125 (witch in theory and with a better rider on it should be a far superior bike )

As Brad says it would be really cool to see some of those KTMs out there . I dont know why people dismiss bikes just because there the oldest for a particular class. Unless your always at the pointy end of the field whats it matter 

Fast guys will always be fast no matter what they ride and wobblers are wobblers  but a wobbler on a cool bike just looks cooler

I must disagree Bill, a wobbler on a cool bike looks bad. A cool bike means they have no excuse for being slow .
I'd feel less embarrassed at the back of the pack on my XT than on a 490 maico. The XT gives me the excuse I need for being slow where as a 490 would highlight the fact that I am

I'm not sure i want to ride the pre 85 class in 125's , Evo I'm ok with, mostly old blokes who give some room Pre 85, 125's I'm having flash backs to riding 125's in C grade with 60 bike grids in the 80's

I've spoken to all things KTM Mr Lewis and it seems a air cooled version will be made ASAP. Hopefully for CD8.

Can I be your friend then?

That will never happen Davey,you are pure poison.
All jokes aside,I agree that KTM is a very pretty kettle.

had a guest ride on a 83 KTM125 at heavens grasstrack at Canowindra last year(thanks again Dennis),what a sweet bike to ride,loved the revs,(like a roadracer ),handled,steered,braked,made an less than average mxer gumby like me half decent in my couple races onit, ,actually prompted me to look for something similar,found a  YZ100K,close enough for me  ,only downside was i needed the milkcrate to get on n off  ,

I just think it is a really pretty bike, too many cool bikes are dismissed because they are not the latest bike available in that class, or the most powerful. I think the KTM is cool as.

Look here Craigie boy...I'm already a member of the KTM family, I have a 2005 KTM 525SMR with a factory 580 kit on it and the rest of the goodies and have a 77 250 in the pipeworks so you better watch out

[Rossvickicampbell]

Dont you have another KTM stashed away Davey boy  or has that moved on to pastures new 

[Davey Crocket]

Thats right Big boy, my 89 250 enduro...too many bikes.

[Slakewell]

KTM 77 250 is a great bike. I have one I'm building now hopefully ready for CD8. They filled the top 3 spots in the GP's that year.
