    well it is actually last night’s news
    Our local community radio station ( http://www.2nurfm.com ) run out of the uni, plays BBC world service late at night and early mornings. I was listening to it after I shut down the computer last night. They said that BMW now has a majority share of the stocks.

    i could not be bothered to turn the computer back on to post the news. but i woke up early.

    I assume it would still be business as usual. I assume KTM will return to profit soon. I guess they left themself open to take over, or maybe the KTM share holders wanted their money elsewhere

    Serious?

    TB may have to change the forum name soon from Euro bikes to “BMW owned brands”

    I suppose some one has to do a bailout or the whole industry might crash :S
