What was the first year model of KTM 80 with a WP monoshock, 84, 85, 86?

  KTM 80 cc

 I think thay made them from 1986 to 1987

Ok well thats what i 'thought' too but that is no proof and i didnt just want to go by what i thought so thats why i was looking for more solid info. I know there was KTM 80s pre 85 but i think they were twinshocks. Is there a KTM website with all models listed?

[oz555ktm]

 Not that I know as all the stuff I look at is Pre 1985 ..

 I do have info on bike
 Thay wear the most power full 80cc at the time the Top rider of the time on a Rm 80
 arfthe  20 min on the Bike was cut 3sec a lap off hes lap time . this was in Dirt Dike Acton .

 What Kill it was the Cost . 2 Australian Dollers  to the  1 Austria Strilling

The KTM 80MX came out in 1985. Man I wanted 1 BAD :'(. There was also a 50 at the same time. It was the same roller but different motor. I dont think the 50 motor was KTM. The only earlier 80cc I have seen were full sized bikes, twin shock & not KTM motors.

So if it came out in 85 it was probably a 86 model and 86 was the first model? I found a microfiche dated september 85 so i reckon it would have to be for 86 model and not 85. Would you have a photo of the KTM 50?

 Rule of Toe

 If the Bike was made arfter July   ( eg 8207 = August 1982 ) it was for the next year season

 But that dose not mean the Bike may be a Carry over Modle .It was made for Sale for the next year .

Goto this site & clik on manuals & catalogues. Scroll down to 87 models. There is a brochure on the 87 bikes. Including the 50. I tried to goto the photo but it wont let me . www.ktm495.mxbikes.com/

Found an AD in Jan 85 ABD for a KTM 80 Lc. Water and WP mono
$1700

Hi Mike would i be able to see a copy of that add? if you reckon its in Jan 85 that wouldnt make sense because i thought the first model was a 86 which i dont think would have been available as early as Jan 85? If there was an ad in jan 85 then that certainly is of interest.

Whitey - PM comming.
