Capitalising on their successes in the 250 World Motocross Championships, KTM emblazoned the petrol tank with 'World Champion MC' to advertise their triumphs. This commemorated the victory of Guennady Moisseev in 1974 (albeit in somewhat controversial circumstances), with Moisseev subsequently winning again in 1977 and 78, with a second place in the championship in 1976.

This KTM dates from approximately 1977, and is fitted with KTM's air-cooled engine, twin-shock rear suspension, drum brakes front and rear. A lightweight plastic petrol tank, plastic seat unit and side panels all assist in weight saving. An older restoration, it will require re-commissioning prior to further use. Whilst the engine turns over, its mechanical condition is unknown. There are no documents present, and it is sold strictly as viewed.
