its a 250. it looks like a converted 1 gen 250r. here is a pic of the motor
i think the 250r was the only 3 wheeler with the chain on the right side

Converted first gen for sure. I like how they used washers as spacers. It also looks like inverted forks off of a dirtbike with custom tripples, extended swinger, extended axle, fiberglass fender, quite a bit of wierd stuff on it that i have never seen like what looks to be a plastic bowl. That would be a fun and intresting project. Looks like the engine was converted later in life. I wander what was originally in it for all that aftermarket stuff.

There has got to be an interesting story behind that thing. Did you buy it? Cut the foreplay and give us some details.
This has started bugging me a bit so i researched some. Just from the looks of the engine i would say it was from a 1979 - 1981 125GS/ RG engine. all KTM 250's looked alot diffrent from the era. Also, it looks like it was installed much later in life due to the nice clean washers used to line it up compared to the dirty engine. Also probly a back yard frankentrike because a reputable builder would have made a spacer and not used washers. It looks like it was once a very nice race machine. what is confusing me is the front for setup. It seems it would have been a within last 10-15 year upgrade.
Please tell me you have pics of the other one he is selling

hard to tell but that might be a lectron carb with a plastic bowl. bing made some plastic bowls also
I think KTM's of that era came with Bing carbs.
To the OP:
Did you buy this or is someone selling it?
