A two-stroke track day machine costing a cool $140,000, a KTM EXC250 with a 1970s vibe, and news of the first twin-cylinder to attempt the Red Bull Romaniacs event?a heavily modified BMW R nineT from Touratech.

KTM EXC250 by Vintage Addiction Crew This KTM EXC250 comes to us courtesy of Barcelona?s Vintage Addiction Crew and man, has it ever nailed the mix of old and new.

That didn?t mean things would be easy. Quite the contrary, in fact: the engine had been ridden hard and put up wet a few too many times, so it needed a full strip down and rebuild. While they were at it, the VA crew bumped displacement to 350cc and a hand-crafted exhaust unit was welded together. To ride right on the new 19-inch hoops, the suspension also needed some re-jigging ?so a professional set, both front and rear, was configured by the race shop GCR. [More]
