KTM is an Austrian motorcycle, bicycle and sports car manufacturer now owned by Pierer Mobility, that was formed in 1934 by 'Kronreif & Trunkenpolz Mattighofen' and began manufacturing motorcycles in 1953. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s they became renowned for competition machines and today the KTM Group consists of a number of motorcycle brands including Husqvarna and Gas Gas that still dominate off-road sport and are very successful in Moto GP.
The 350SE is the Enduro version of KTM’s two-stroke motocross bike so it comes fitted with lights and is registered on a current V5C. Presented in original condition, it was a pretty rare bike in its day and not many will have survived the rigors of competition use. The bike was built using many quality components from various European suppliers such as Ohlins rear shocks. The bike was taken off the road many years ago due to loss of spark and has been dry stored ever since, the vendor reports the engine turns over with good compression but it will need a good recommissioning before use. It appears to be fitted with an unused rear tyre and a new seat and comes together with a current V5C.
