In little more than two decades, KTM has gone from being a niche maker of highly successful moto-cross and enduro machines to Europe's largest motorcycle manufacturer. Perhaps not surprisingly given its off-road heritage, the Austrian brand first made an impact in the 'Big Trailie' or 'Adventure' market, kicking off with single-cylinder models in the early/ mid-1990s before introducing its first twin-cylinder model in 2003.
The vendor advises us that the machine offered is an SX 450 factory, converted to 540 specification with electric start, this machine was originally converted to Rally specification to use in the UAE Desert Challenge. Boasting HM-tuned running gear and engine, it boasts a full factory Akrapovic titanium exhaust system and was subsequently converted back to enduro specification. Stored unused for 20 years, the machine will require restoration before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Offered with a V5C document.
GBP600 - 1, 000
