I don't know anything about KTM's but I must say it looks pretty well looked after for an army bike. I can't help but thinking that you would never see a British Army motorcycle being flogged off in that fantastic state! The British Army RLC / Royal Signals riders normally ride the things into the ground. The last time I looked the MoD was selling a load of knackered old Armstrong 500's and was replacing them with Harley Davidson 250's. I understand that the Special Forces guys (SAS, SBS, SRR) now often use Motorcycles and Quads too.
Are you 100% sure it's ex-army and not just a standard KTM painted Green? Or perhaps a bike originally prepared for Army use but never actually used for that purpose. Not being able to speak the lingo, I'm not able to make out any detail on the Evilbay page.
I wish you well. It appears to be a fine buy and looks pretty good to boot...
Stay Safe.
