Bikes stolen on the early hours of Monday 16/11/09 from Monmouth, South Wales

Ktm:- 2003 300 Exc Reg. No. HV02 YUU (Taxed and Tested 'til Feb. 2010) Chassis No. VBKGSA2092M419051 Engine No. 0255643266 Colour: Orange Distinguishing Features: REKLUSE automatic clutch conversion, Carbon fibre expansion chamber protector (covering dented original chrome exhaust), Supermoto front wheel - 17" Gold Talon hub/black rim with orange 'Ktm Racing' rim stickers *BUT* it had a standard rear wheel - silver rim/silver hub with off road nobbly on the back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I was between changing over the wheels for winter use).

They will therefore either be looking to sell 1 x standard back wheel complete and buy 1 x rear Supermoto one, or; selling 1 x supermoto front and looking for a standard one! You know what I mean.

Kramit:- 2000 250GS Reg. No. W629BAW Chassis No. ZFZ250GS10980034 Engine No. 64130 Colour: Silver Tank/front mudguard, black plastics with silver and green 'Kramit 250' decals. Distinguishing features: This is quite a rare bike - very few imported, same as an Alfer 250. It has a Rotax '257' single cylinder/manual-powervalved/2 stroke engine (there will be a black marker penned number on the cylinder.... saying '64' or '67' etc. - probably it's last rebore..), Marzocchi RWU forks, Ohlins rear monoshock, Brembo brakes and a Magura hydraulic clutch. the plastics will be marked inside as 'YZ 96' as they are from the Yamaha. Most unusual is that it is has a left hand side kickstart and takes some getting used to! The back wheel and swingarm will be set up for chain on the right....
