    KTMs are one awesomely made bikes. I have a 300EXC and would love to put that motor in a trike, if I didnt love the bike so much! Maybe thats something I can look into for the 86 tecate frame I have.
    86-87 Tecate ROCK!

    Ride fast...........brake late............and Slide the rear!

    I have seen this bike in person and holy on a stick, this is by far one of the coolest bikes I have ever seen, he had 2-4 other tecates scatter across the shop 2 red ones and 1 green one and probably a whole other bike in parts. His rear sprocket setup was cool too.

    I would like to put a 300 into an atc250r, I love the dirtbikes too much. If I bought the bike, I most likely would keep it as a bike, if some chance I got the motor, bike, carb and wiring sheap, I would consider it.

    KTM makes great engines.. I would love to have a 380sx in a trike... great hp without the overwhelming torque of a 500...

    I would LOVE to have a KTM 300 XCW-E or its motor for my Tecate. That would be one nice trail rider IMO and I've always thought about it.
