Some of my favorite deals in the motorcycling world are when you can pick up a basically brand new bike for thousands off because the new owner has to sell for whatever reason – assuming you’re not the kind of person who has to have a new bike. With a bike as exciting as the KTM Super Duke 1290, what’s …
1 of 25 – 2010 KTM RC8R Red Bull Edition
Post-Listing Update: Despite being relisted, this RC8R got no love at $19,900. In 2010, KTM started importing the RC8R to the US. To celebrate, they released two limited edition models, both of which had just 25 examples produced. One was the Akrapovic Edition (reader Zack B. actually found one for sale just 3 days ago), the other is this post’s …

Rally Raid – Modified 2012 KTM 690 Enduro
If you’re looking for a true off-roader from your production dual-sport, I’m not sure it gets better than the KTM 690 Enduro. Built to serve as the base for KTM’s Dakar Rally efforts (which they won in 2007, 2009, and 2010 with this bike before regulation changes forced them to switch to a smaller engine for competition), the 690 is …
2012 KTM RC8-R
KTM does not have much of a street presence in the United States – but with bikes like the RC8-R it’s hard to understand why that’s the case. This distinctive-looking Superbike is full of high-end components and it makes around 175hp.
1978 KTM MC5 400
Post-Sale Update: After being relisted, this KTM sold for $2,500 on eBay. The KTM MC5 was an expensive but well spec’d off-roader. Thanks to this, the 400’s were the bikes to beat in Southern California Open desert competition, according to Cycle World. For a review of this bike from Cycle back in 1978, head on over to Ye Old Cycle …
1997 KTM Duke 620
4-17 Update: This KTM Duke 620 got no love at $3,800, but it’s back up for sale at the same opening bid here on eBay. KTM has always enjoyed a reputation for making some of the best off-road bikes out there, but in recent years they’ve also taken on the status of a premiere supermoto manufacturer, as well. This all …
Video Intermission – Austria to Egypt on KTM 500EXC’s
As if you didn’t feel bad enough that you’re not out on the road right now, feel free to be jealous (or get inspired) by this:
2006 KTM 640 Adventure
The KTM 640 Adventure has made a name for itself as the most off-road capable of the 650cc single-cylinder dual sports, and this 640 is waiting for a new owner to get it dirty.

Reader John S. tipped me off about a private collection of over 50 bikes that’s come up for sale – if you can’t find something you like in this set, you probably don’t belong on this website!
1 of 400 – 2012.5 KTM 450SXF Dungey Edition
Post-Sale Update: This KTM 450SXF Dungey Edition was pulled off eBay before the auction ended, final sale price unknown. KTM has been one of the leaders in motocross racing for countless years, particularly in AMA with Ryan Dungey. As part of AMA homologation rules, KTM had to release 400 units of this bike – otherwise Dungey would be disqualified from …
KTM Duke 620
KTM has always enjoyed a reputation for making some of the best off-road bikes out there, but in recent years they’ve also taken on the status of a premiere supermoto manufacturer, as well. This all started in the mid 90’s with the Austrian firm’s first stock supermoto, the KTM Duke 620. Featuring the venerable LC4 engine, you’re looking at 55 …
