1977–1980 Comet 50 MS/MSS
GenerationThe Comet 50 MS and MSS are later moped versions documented from 1977 to 1980. Treat MS/MSS as an exact model distinction and verify original engine and frame codes; the Comet name covers several earlier platforms.

Years
1972 - 1972
1972 Comet Racer
EditionThe Comet Racer was the briefly produced sporting version with narrow bars, a sport tank and high exhaust. The Austrian transport museum documents its 48.8 cc Puch two-stroke and approximately 2.6 hp; do not confuse it with an arbitrarily tuned Comet.

About this model
About the Ktm Comet
The KTM Comet is a historic Austrian moped family, not a modern KTM motorcycle. KTM introduced the Comet in 1963, after which the platform evolved through various 50 cc versions. The Comet Cross appeared from 1971, and the briefly produced 1972 Comet Racer used a 48.8 cc Puch two-stroke. Later examples included Comet 50 MS and MSS models. The name alone is therefore insufficient to establish a year or specification.
For collectors, the exact version is the starting point. Verify frame and engine numbers, original tank/exhaust, pedals or transmission and local moped registration before ordering parts. The small Puch drivetrains are straightforward, but KTM-specific panels and graphics can be harder to find. Buy on completeness and documentation, not an unverified power claim. An original Comet with matching frame, engine and period details is more interesting than a modified moped retaining only the badge.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Use frame and engine numbers to establish whether it is an early Comet, Cross, Racer or later 50 MS/MSS before ordering parts.
- Start from cold and inspect the Puch two-stroke, carburettor, fuel tap and exhaust for compression, leaks and even running.
- Check wiring, ignition, lighting and charging coil; old mopeds are often modified or partly rewired.
- Inspect frame, fork, rims, spokes, drum brakes and tyres for corrosion, cracks and age.
- Compare tank, exhaust, seat and decals with documented period details; KTM-specific cosmetic parts are not always easy to source.
