Just wondering which outfit has a fleet of 530EXC's? Three of them for grabs on TradeMe at the moment.

Yep, SAS, think first intended deployment was middle east. Quicker infil/exfil, they were repainted, headlights changed out etc.
Think I saw some of them getting kitted out back in 08/09?

Cool cheers guys. Was wondering if it was military. How does one get a job riding a KTM 530EXC in the army? Seems like a sweet gig.
The KTM530 is a fun bike. I had two of them.

The SAS had a few special Pinzgauers with bikes mounted on the back that I think were KTM. It would have been around 2005/6 I saw them at Trentham.
Pinzgauer - Austrian but I think thats as far as the connection to KTM goes. Maybe the same make of air in the tyres and water in the radiators.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

A next door neighbor was a mechanic and worked in the Linton workshop for a while. What the Army mechs use to do is put a small block of wood between the piston and head on the goods ones when the bikes were about to be put up for auction giving the impression they were sieved. Then went to the auction and got them for song.
