    KTM’s parent group is insolvent.

    If you're talking about the new crap built in China and India, I agree. But go and look at an Enduro, Crosscountry or MX bike and you'll be impressed. The welding on an equivalent Jap bike looks like a blind dwarf with Parkinsons did it. On hangover Monday.

    KTM Trouble

    Noneking's Lowveld living thread
