Man that thing is going to be bad ass! It would be really sweet to ride it side by side with the christini 300 two stroke and see which one handles/rides better...

i think the handling would be similar between 300 and 500 only diference the bigger masses that rotate in the k5-engine that makes it a little bit more tricky... :-)... the 300 engine could be ridden like a 250... you will feel no much diference to the 250engine...
now my question: is this a 2stroke or a 4stroke ktm-frame? by the way, cant wait to see the finish... ktm kx500 awd ..could be the first one ever made.. :-)
ID KX500:
Hey motopunk the frame is from a 4stroke 450 EXC. The guy who had it made was trying to put 4stroke 450 SX parts into the frame (if I have the story right) and it wouldn't work.
ID KX500:
Small update I have the motor getting reemed for the KTM pivot bolt and a 6mm spacer made. Then I plan to meet with the welder and get the other motor mounts figured out.
ID KX500:
This project is moving along,,,slow but sure. I painted the frame today. Inserting the motor back in tomorrow.
