My first ever bike when i was 17 in 2001 was a KTM LC2 125

I bought it as an Austrian import, the electrics were a messs, it never started, battery was always dead, it was a nightmare, it never failed to let me down.

Was a nice big bike though,restricted though so quite slow, though i did feel very unique Wink

But i never saw or heard of another one, i couldd never find any pictures,info or specs on it, nothing

It was stolen in july 2002 by pikeys apparently, never heard or seen a thing since Sad

I wonder how it's doing lol

Anybody ever seen one?

It was stolen from lakeside shopping centre south east essex, witnesses say it was "jippo's" in a white van

Lakeside is surrounded by pikey fields, my mates nc30 was stolen from the exact same place a few months later

Naturally the police did nothing Middle Finger

yeah mate, im afraid matters like this have to be taken into your own hands thats why I'll be putting stickers on everything I own which says "this item is guarded by the owner with a baseball bat, be warned"

I've seen and sat on one. but before you shoot me.

It was brand spanking new and I was only just 15, and was dragged away from it to look at the husqvarna. a place in hinkley 'windy corner' I think was the name.

looks like it was a close escape then. ended up with an aprilia RX50which I played with on my parents farm, had it on the road, gave it to my brother...he didnt put it away..and it went walkies..

police actually found it though... shocking

simple - now on bike 5 at 18 Shocked

A European market import I should imagine.
