Touche!

Turns out her bike is not dodgy had a replacement case under warrenty

Well that's great news! Will they stamp it up to avoid any future problems?

I thought engine numbers were on the block, not on the casings.

A legit 1098 for £4700 with 9000 miles yeah id say , they did it free of charge which was very nice of them , I'm going to take my ktm onto my local ktm dealer and see if they can dig up any history on the ktm after the bollocks story the previous owner told me about a previous owner being told by the dvla to ground the engine numbers off the replacement casing as he couldn't afford to update it with the dvla I'm not holding out much hope

Id agree never seen an engine number stamped on a casing before!

I'll take a photo when I see it but regardless the part its on was replaced and its stamped now , I seriously doubt ill be as lucky with the ktm

Took the ktm in this morning couldn't find anything on warrenty replacements or simmiler but he took a look at it and immediately said its a blank and not been ground and showed me a 690 case for comparison (well I think it was a 690) and the only difference is mines dirtier!!!

However they wont stamp it........

It doesn't make sense stamping the engine case? Nick a motor, swap the engine case over.....seems a bit too easy for the crims. Id have thought the manufactures would make it far harder!

How lucky is that though, buying two really cheap bikes that have had replacement cases. What are the odds 

Only one of them are mine , mine could still have a stolen engine or cover but its a blank , to be fair the ktm wasn't that cheap

So why did you buy it?
I was under the impression from your post, that you wanted a cheap supermoto.
