2003 KTM 450 EXC Racing

The Enduro of the future. "Reminiscent of the proverbial egg-laying wool-producing dairy pig. Enough power for pros, not too many extras for amateurs." Quotation from Motorrad, June 2003.

The fastest Enduro in the world. And this three years in a row. In three different displacement classes. Thanks to sophisticated technology. And also thanks to "wonder boy" Juha Salminen. Ready to race ex factory. For professionals and hobby riders: KTM makes no difference here. Since the best motorcycle makes for the greatest driving fun. And a competition kit for conversion free of charge.
