There's another listed under Armstrong, similar age but fewer miles, starting at £500.

I've watched MT prices for a while: the 500 usually sells for quite a bit less than the 350 - that electric boot is very popular.
I've spent quite a bit of time kicking over MT500s and I know why the 350 version is preferred! :rolleyes2:

Wheres The Best Place To Look For Mts, I Used To Ride Them In The Army And Want One That I Can Completely Strip Back.

ebay or witham's auctioneers. MT Riders Club Forum usually know about any for sale and someone makes a post

as of 31 Mar this year they were withdrawn from service, all being flogged to the brazillian army apparently.

Not sure if this will push prices up or flood the market.

So is the Army getting the Diesel KLR or coming off two wheels all together? When the first KLR's get sold off the prices will be interesting!

Its off 2 wheels for good with the exception of the RMPs pan europeans used as road escorts.

Dragging up a really old thread here! :scooter:

Did you get the 640 lump nailed into the MT? if so, did/does it go OK? any hassles etc?
I'm looking for a laning bike, although you don't see too many MT's now, I'll probably go DR350/DRZ400 or XR400, but still open to other ideas.

That was a while ago. Yes the engine went straight in to the MT350, but it's not as easy to fit an electric start engine to the earlier MT500. As far as I know all the Rotax engines of similar design are interchangeable regardless of capacity. I just had the exhaust, carburettor and connection to the air filter to sort out. It went like stink and would have been ideal for an overland trip with the bigger engine, but I would say a bit heavy for green laning when compared with the likes of a DR350. Very robust though.
