I remember people saying that in 1984 when i had a KTM250 EXC.
And they only 2 or 3 other bikes in their range at that time.
Now they pretty much own the Junior MX scene world wide, Own the Enduro scene in all classes, Good representation in MX and have taken a big slice in the Adventure Bike market, a Motard range, and now a range of road bikes.
Bought out Husaberg, Bought out someone else to lately...
They have done well for a shite bike manufacture.
Owned a few KTM's, i think what i liked most about them, is they were right to go straight out of the crate.
No extra money to spend on quality components or removing stuff.... or *cough cough* endless mods
I have no idea how all this equates to their entry in to road bikes.
Maybe it will break, as they have quoted 15,000K service intervals.
3 out of 5 people are not the other 2.
