    Wow! Didn’t this turn it to a catfight quickly!

    Menace, nothing wrong with KTM being owned by Indian interests EXCEPT that you can no longer spout off about this “Euro” superiority thing – unless you get a true Euro bike like a Husky, Gas Gas, Sherco, BMW or similar! :laugh:

    KTM make good bikes, so I can’t see it changing in a [strike]curry[/strike] hurry (sorry, typo) and the design will remain cutting edge, like Mahindra utes.

    On the good side…

    …at least it wasn’t a Chinese buyout! :woohoo:

    Ok so KTM will be owned by an indian company, this is somewhat different to being made in India, which once was an assurance of crud, but now just means it was made in India.
    The funny thing about this is KTM has achieved great if not unprecedented sales worldwide, but still runs out of capital? these would be the same group of beancounters that took the money away for linkages late last century?

    Oh there’s so much good material in this that one can’t begin to fathom how bad KTM diehards must be feeling….

    anyone for Khicken Tandori Mains?

    and seeing as the Pakistanis always are envious of Indias achievements maybe they will acquire Gas Gas from trying to digest the Orange spices.

    Does this mean you cannot herd the cattle on a KTM, or that only Cows are allowed to ride KTMs, or every KTM comes with a free Ganesha to mount on your tank, or that you must prey to Chrishna the new guiding light of KTM.

    What happens when you cross an Austrain with an Indian?

    KTMs new advertising line

    400 million Indians can’t be wrong
    a
    and a quote from Mr Mahatma S Mahelmet

    “Every Saturday i take the whole family to the markets on our trusty KTM, and an added bonus is the Kid displacement system, everytime we hit a pothole we have less children to feed, soon it will be just my wife & I, especially after i get my mother inlaw to sit on the rear and ride to New Delhi, praise be Ganeesha”

    What a pathetic thread this turned into.
    we can read just choose not to fuel this gay banter.
    Who cares who owns what now days. If the car industry is anything to go buy any die hard would sell up and walk instead. There’s so many chinese parts on your jap bikes it would make you cry like a baby.
    In the end if the bike is good or shit I don’t care what colour it is or who owns it. Being a 2 stroke fan we don’t really have many options nowdays. Maybe that’s why KTM is running outta money and Honda hasn’t : KTM 2strokes that are cheap to run and maintain without having to empty wallet for new CRF piston/ring/valves every year LOL.

    Thats the passion this thread is missing axel ;) Your right its not going to change a thing (next couple of years anyway) we all know that parts and stuff are made everywhere of course, but if you think this was a Honda/Yamaha/Suzuki thread and the KTM blokes didnt do it to us you are kidding yourself. Its some light hearted fun :laugh: and will only last until KTM win 4 classes at the next 4 day or whatever and the roles will be reversed. Go the Hero Honda :laugh: :laugh: :P :kiss:

    KTM have been there, done that, they are obviously looking for a new challenge -build a bike in india and then, keep refining it until it’s at the top once again – at least there bikes have change dramatically over the last decade.

    Haha love this place. It’s just too hard to offend anyone :) :)
    Hatto is right. Been there done that. KTM makes a kick arse road race bike – check. Two seater open wheeler style race car – check. Race winning quads – check. Electric enduro and motard race bike – check. What’s next I wonder? Why yes, of course! The KTM flying car? Might put a deposit down today. ;)
