***SOLD***2003 KTM 450 exc, 75 hours

**GHT** · 06-18-2012, 09:06 AM

Bought this bike last year for dirt riding... Well to date the only riding it has seen, other than the monthly run up and down the street, is my Colorado trip! When I bought the bike it was in need of some TLC, I put new fork seals and fork oil in it, had the carb. cleaned and all new seals/o-rings installed, installed a fan kit, put in a new battery with trickle charge tether on it, also front and rear "Tugger" straps and put on a "fake" license plate! No the bike is NOT street legal, but it could be with a baja kit or some good ol fashion ingenuity!! The bike performed flawlessly for me in CO. (it's still jetted for there), I did replace the rear axle after returning from CO. as the drive side adjuster was cracked. Chain and sprockets are in great shape, the rear tire is new, rode it 5 days in CO. the front is OK, I think it's original! The bike has Enduro Engineering brushguards, rear rotor guard and clutch slave guard.
I'm asking $3000, New price 7/31 $2800 OBO,but I'm open to trades for a cruiser style bike (750 or bigger) of equal or slightly greater value!
Make me a cash offer, all I can say is no....
Any questions call or text me: George two eight one 2 three 6 four six 27

*****As an added incentive to get this out of my garage, I'll throw in a brand new pair of Forma "Terrain" Motocross boots in size Eur 44 (US 10/10.5) and a couple of used Off-Road helmets and all the off-road riding gear I have if I get the asking price!!!******

She's NOT a garage queen, been down plenty, and has they scars to prove it, very fast and GREAT suspension!!!! Just wish I could ride her more!!!! Somebody will really enjoy this bike!!!!!

Sooo... what are you taking to Colorado this year?

**GHT** · 06-18-2012, 02:20 PM

The Wee!

TexTrain99 · 06-18-2012, 03:53 PM

Love the fakey license plate. The easiest way to street legal.

Way back when...don't know, maybe its still possible, but you could get a motorcycle endorsement in Texas on your license when you were 15 but were restricted to a 125cc displacement street legal bike. My "street legal" bike was a XR350 with a fakey plate and XL100 decals. In hindsight I'm sure the fakey plate would have been the tell-tale sign but back then the only way to run plates was by radio-and-wait. Of course a motorbike-savy police officer may have been able to quickly discern the fact that a XR350 and XL100 have almost nothing in common except manufacturer.

**GHT** · 06-18-2012, 04:47 PM

The "fake" plate was for the short road trips in CO., never had the ***** to really ride it on the street!!!

**Tourmeister** · 06-18-2012, 06:29 PM

You are gonna ride the wee on those passes!?

You are a braver man than me!

**GHT** · 06-18-2012, 07:35 PM

Sorry, I should have clarified, the Wee will be for road riding only, gonna do the passes in a Jeep this year!!!!

WIMP!

I know your brother is meeting you there. I just had to say it.

**GHT** · 06-25-2012, 09:48 PM

Lots of looking, but nobody wants a low hours KTM? Make me an offer, I might be open to trades for something , try me!!!!!

budzrex · 06-27-2012, 09:03 PM

Shot you a PM the other day?

**GHT** · 06-27-2012, 09:18 PM

Sorry, working days, I'm really looking for a cruiser style bike, if I do a trade. My wife likes to ride, but her knees don't allow for the sitting position on a standard or the Wee for that matter. That's a great looking bike you got though!!!

**GHT** · 07-01-2012, 08:45 PM

OK, I would really like to move this out of my garage, that being said I'm gonna reduce the price to $3000 OBO!

Thanks, I almost never ride 2 up but a friend who does switched with me and his wife loved the touring seat I have on there.

Good luck with the sale.

**GHT** · 07-12-2012, 08:13 AM

OK. I know there are bunch of you guys on the fence about buying this...

Just jump, pull the trigger, make me an offer! Remember, I'm also looking to trade for a cruiser style bike, something I can ride two up, a Suzuki M90, M109, VStar, Vulcan you get the picture!

cas446 · 07-16-2012, 12:05 PM

Some one needs to buy it for the trip to Colorado next month.

**GHT** · 07-20-2012, 12:26 AM

Maybe I'll take it to Colorado and hang a for sale sign on it!
Anybody looking that's between Houston and Ouray, CO. I'll deliver it for gas money!

**GHT** · 07-31-2012, 06:18 PM
