Lorenzo Buratti is Our Kind of Man and had just built this KTM 450. He's racing it in Italy and plans to bring it to England to race the night before Dirt Quake III at King's Lynn 18/19 July. Click the green Lorenzo Buratti label to see the other things he gets up to.
This is what he says about his bike...
KTM 450 Flat Track, based on a EXC enduro model year 2005, modifications include: complete 19″ wheels, suspension, exhaust system, balanced crankshaft & piston. The fiberglass monocoque body is quick realease to have rapid acces to engine during races tune up, inspired by drag racing cars. Rear subframe is cut and lowered in order to have low seat and centre of gravity. The bike is fired up by an external starter.
If you want to transform your cross or enduro bike into a ready to race flat track machine drop me a line to ask for what about the costs.

Looks great! Cool idea with servicefriendly flip body. Is it a framer if srock frame is used? Well done, Lorenzo!!
golosa, veramente.
Marcus, pretty sure it's a stock frame. G
Yepp, I agree. Thats why I questioned the naming "framer". Or can it be a framer with not purpose built frame?
Hi Marcus, you're right. I didn't realise I'd called it a framer when I bashed it out. I shouldn't and didn't think I had. It's a hybrid. Not DTX/not framer, but looks like it should work. There are a few bikes like this in the UK DTRA series that go well. G
FT hybrid! I agree! Cheers man! BTW, a great choice to get a framer look by using KTM frame instead of alu beam frames that most other MX have these days.
