From a VIN search it says it's a 2008 Chinese bike. It has "KTM" on the engine side covers.
It is/was a former Army Special Ops bike. Check the M4 mount above the headlight!
We're trying to get it up and running and eventually titled. Need to know make/model so we can get some parts for it: right footpeg, right brake lever, air filter...etc.

Umthat's no KTM engine. Some kind of Commie copy of a Honda motor. I'd pull it apart for scrap

Haha we had a few of these, that's a take home Hadji bike (we had a couple just like that one)... We also had a couple gators with 240 mounts and the like we kitted up this last deployment, we just gave them to the B team guys when we bounced, should be tons out there floating around. Super surprised anyone bothered bringing one home.

We broke every frame on our bikes jumping them driving between Tycz and the surrounding areas, I want to say we paid ~300 or so for the bikes. Gutless, but fun bikes. Just don't try jumping them or hitting any hard ruts / rocks lol

Have you ever got it back up and running? Does yours shift up by going down? Hated that about all of ours... they'd always down shift when you never wanted it to... (No matter the make... Lifan, KTM, the Kawi copies (don't remember the brand of those), etc.. lol)

It runs for a little bit and quits. Haven't really gotten it back together since the slow, paint and fix up. lol.
Just put airfilter back in, and throttle tube. Need to get battery, weld right footpeg backtogether, fix bent kickstand and adjust throttle. With some good gas it should go. No title though.
