After stumbling across this in the Colonel's topic about his monster:

and this afternoon discovering this in a dutch bike mag:

I decided it was time for a ktm specials topic. So if you've got some nice pics (and info) of a nice KTM special: please share it with us.

The orange one is a bike made by Roland Sands, I've seen it a couple times in bike mags here in Holland, in short it's a 525 EXC which was customized by famous bike builder Roland Sands. Some pics:

(the blonde hotty is the owner btw
Anyone else found some nice specials?

I know that track (RSD 530) - looks like the SOW "skidpad".

Maybe this should be stickied as "KTM Cafe".

I love the 1/2 Orange and Black rims.

Some tells me all the bikes are LOUD

Great thread - very timely... I assume you all saw this one from Jesse Rooke.

Would love to see one like this with a black frame and less blingy wheels and swing arm..

It's in my openingpost but you are right about the bling wheels and the frame. Less would definetely be more in this case.

Not a KTM and a bit blingy, but...

That's a pretty nice triple! Always like the arrow underslung exhaust on those things. Million times better than the original ones under the seat.

I like the red single cylinder one best.

The Rooke one has been featured to death by now but is a very noteworthy example.

The silver one is shite. Really lacks style and character.

Funny that people chose a single Enduro bike to turn into a cruiser or cafe racer innit?

Not as much dosh burned as on most of the garage queens posted here, but I kinda liked the crude qualities of this: http://thebullitt.blogspot.com/2012/04/ ... -cafe.html

Really want to see more built with the LC8 as starting point.
