I've decided to put my 80MX up for sale. It's a pretty uncommon machine and I believe it was KTMs first foray into 80cc youth motocross bikes. And of course it's the bike the Tiger 80 is based on which is pretty cool. I have an ungodly amount of money and time into this bike between tracking down parts, purchasing them, and having it rebuilt. It saddens me to do this but I can get another 80mx down the road. And I guess if it doesn't sell, I can just dismantle it, pickle the motor, and store it away in a crate. I won't take up much room. But moving and going back to school means I should probably try to thin the heard and sell off some of my collection...including my KTMs.
Anyway, this is copied and pasted from my ebay auction:
Up for sale is a 1986 KTM 80MX. These cream-of-the-crop 80cc dirtbikes were imported in very low numbers. This has made them quite rare nowadays...especially in good running and riding condition. I found this example 6 years ago and purchased it with the intent of doing a full restoration. I had the engine professionally rebuilt four months ago with a fresh piston and rings as well as crank bearings/seals and all gaskets. Parts were dipped and cleaned. The carburetor was also rebuilt and tuned correctly. It starts, runs, and shifts perfectly and only has an hour of riding time on it since the overhaul. I have not touched the rest of the bike but it is in pretty good original shape and everything works. Plastics have a little wear on them but are original and still in great condition. Most of the original decals are there. Tires are old but have excellent tread and hold air great. The frame has some wear near the foot-rests but is otherwise clean. Even though this machine has been ridden, it is obvious that this bike was not abused or neglected and has always been stored indoors. There is little if any rust on it at all. Comes with original repair and owner manuals, receipts for work, and some spare parts. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
