Again, not mine. 39 year-old KTM parts? If you get it back together and running again, it'll likely kill you. I dare you!

Yep that's a beast of a bike for sure. I came real close to buying one of those about 28 years ago. It was a 91 model year and in really quite nice shape for $2500 bucks. Put a $200 dollar deposit on it. It was at a bike shop and no one could start the bike that day. The one guy that knew the technique had the day off and on that basis alone I probably had no business buying it. Well upon leaving the shop about 10 miles down the road my old 1985 Dodge D150 truck decided to die on me. Turned out it was a bad fuel pump. Just so happens I had about 3k to my name and I was bumming over the truck, had to leave it for a few days at a Dodge dealership and find my way home a good 80 miles away. Had some time to think about that purchase and decided to back out on the deal since I was more concerned with the truck. That truck probably saved my life :undecided:
