NO RESERVE AUCTION ON A 1975 1/2 PENTON KTM 400 GS-6 ENDURO MACHINE. BIKE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. STARTS EASY, RUNS AND SHIFTS GREAT WITH NO ISSUES. ENGINE HAS NEVER BEEN APART OR WORKED ON. THE BIKE STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL FRONT AND REAR METZLER TIRES, CHAIN AND SPROCKETS. ONLY REASON THE BIKE IS FOR SALE IS THAT I HAVE 8 OTHER PENTONS THAT I RIDE OR LIGHTLY VINTAGE RACE AND THIS BIKE IS TOO NICE TO RIDE AND OR RACE. S/N INDICATES THE BIKE IS EITHER A 1975 OR 1976 BUT BASED ON THE SEQUENCE OF THE FRAME # AND THE 5 THAT IS ON THE ENGINE S/N I BELIEVE THE BIKE IS 1975 1/2 ALSO DUE TO THE LAY DOWN REAR SHOCKS. THE BIKE IS SOLD WITH A BILL OF SALE BUT DOES HAVE A REGISTRATION OWNERSHIP VALIDATION CARD WHICH IN SOME STATES SERVES AS A TITLE. I'LL INCLUDE THIS IN THE SALE OF THE BIKE. THE ENGINE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE RARE COMPRESSION HEAD WHICH MAKES THE BIKE VERY EASY TO START. YOU CAN START IT WITH TENNIS SHOES ON. THIS BIKE HAS THE CERRIANI FRONT FORKS IN GOOD SHAPE. THEY WORK AS THEY SHOULD AND MOVE NICELY. REAR SHOCKS ARE 14" WORKS PERFORMANCE SHOCKS. THEY WORKS AS THEY SHOULD AND STILL HAVE DECENT DAMPING. EXHAUST IS THE MUCH SOUGHT AFTER CHROME TIP ENDURO EXHAUST. ENGINE HAS NO OIL LEAKS. CARBURETOR IS CLEAN. CARB BOOT RUBBERS ARE SOFT AND PLIABLE. SEAT IS FIRM AND COVER IS SOFT AND IS IN GREAT SHAPE. ALL THE LIGHTS WORK AND THE CEV HANDLE BAR SWITCH IS IN PERFECT SHAPE. ALL CABLES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AND OPERATE SMOOTHLY. AIR FILTER IS IN GOOD SHAPE. ONE OF THE NICEST 400'S I'VE SEEN. THE BIKE COULD USE A LITTLE CLEAN UP BUT IS OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. I DON'T KNOW OF AND CAN NOT THINK OF ANYTHING THE BIKE NEEDS EXCEPT A NEW FRONT TIRE. THE TIRE IS IN GOOD SHAPE BUT DOES HAVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF CRACKING. THE FRONT TIRE IS GOOD ENOUGH TO RIDE AND ENJOY THE BIKE WITHOUT ANY WORRIES BUT I WOULD RECOMMEND REPLACING IT PRIOR TO ANY FULL OUT HEAVY COMPETITION OR LONG MILEAGE EVENTS JUST TO BE SAFE. IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR WANT ADDITIONAL PICTURES PLEASE JUST ASK. I DID NOT PUT A BUY IT NOW PRICE BECAUSE I'M JUST NOT SURE WHAT IT WILL BRING OR WHAT WOULD BE A FAIR PRICE TO ME OR FOR THE BUYER. LOCAL BUYERS ARE WELCOME TO COME HEAR IT RUN AND SEE IT RIDE AND DRIVE. BUYER IS WELCOME TO COME AND INSPECT AND RIDE THE BIKE TO CONFIRM IT'S CONDITION PRIOR TO FINAL PAYMENT SO LONG AS PAYMENT IN FULL IS MADE WITHIN 7 BUSINESS DAYS. I WILL WORK WITH USHIP.COM TRANSPORTERS AND AM WILLING TO DELIVER THE BIKE TO LOCAL COMMERCIAL SHIPPERS HERE IN HOUSTON SO LONG AS YOU HAVE MADE ALL ARRANGEMENTS PRIOR TO ME ARRIVING.
