I love to ride in the dirt period, but motocross will always come first to me. I still love to do other forms of off road riding though. Long story that involves a bank repo purchase I bought this serviced but never ridden 2012 KTM 300XC. It actually never left the dealership. Fuel was rank and it looked like mud at the bottom of the tank when I dumped it out. With a good cleaning of the fuel system and a new battery she started right up! I’m going to check the charge on the shock and fork bladders before I ride it. Also threw in a new air filter just for insurance.

I took the picture with the 2020 Dirt Bike magazine to show someone it was “new” in 2020 if I ever try to sell it. Like a ransom note lol.

That's amazing that it sat at the dealership that long. One of KTM's most popular bikes and they couldn't/didn't sell it? How come?

It was tied up in a bankruptcy with the guy that bought it and they couldn’t sell it. The dealer and the bank president are good friends and he let it sit in his warehouse until it was settled. I bought it from the bank with a clean title.
