That's going to be difficult to source parts for I believe.

I wasn't actually thinking of buying it, was just wondering what y'all thought of it.
KTM wasn't really on my radar back then, maybe just in my peripheral.
I knew of them, but they had a reputation in my area like the old Audi's did. They were new, were foreign, and therefore were crap.
I think it's interesting that now they're both on top and everybody wants one.
I guess I like Jap bikes.

Oh no.... in the bike world serious enduro riders rode KTMs and Husquvarnas for decades. The issue was here in the states where we couldn't get parts easily up until the mid 90's for some models and as y2k came and went the parts became easy to get through better logistics world wide. back in the early 80's if I needed an oem part for the Suzuki it would take 2 weeks to get from the warehouse usually. If it was something like a crank or trans part that was special order it would take 8-24weeks because it came from Japan. That sucked ass.

Lets go back over that audi thing: NO ONE wants a twenty year old audi if they have sense enough to dump turds out of their shorts. Compare apples to apples and not road apples.

I want a 20 year old audi. I'm a glutton for punishment

considering at the time Ford was just starting to put efi on everything and the germans were already doing variable valve timing, awd and hose of other things, the fact that you can pull the engine out of a 82-96 ford truck faster than you can change the battery on the audi is irrelevant
