Description from the seller
KTM MC5 250 Cross - 1975
Produced in February 1975 as evidenced by the frame numbers, it was the most sought-after motocross bike of those years.
KTM stood out for its clean and essential lines, much more modern than its direct rivals. Minimalist fuel tank and a beautiful silenced silencer complete the picture.
It was equipped with the best components of the era:
Ceriani forks, the legendary gas Marzocchi shocks, Bing carburetor and on our bike also the prestigious Sun International aluminum rims, made in the U.S.A. These rims were highly sought after by riders of the time because they were very light but also much more resistant than the competitors' similar products.
Totally restored
Tank repainted in the era KTM red (RAL)
Side panels in plastic painted in the era KTM red (RAL)
Frame sandblasted and painted in the era metallized gray (RAL) KTM red
Zinc-plated new hardware.
The following parts are new:

- Spark plug
- Tank taps
- Mixture hoses

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
