Apparently they've voted for complete closure

 

I knew about the 790/890 cam wear problem, often caused by out of alignment oil gallery drillings, not sure if that broke the bank though ?

 

Some prices might fall, and some might rise. I bet Superdukes become a classic

Was only reading that the Chinese had stepped in the other day, I guess once they saw the amount of dept they've pulled out.

KTM motorcycles seem to be about 'more power' to entice buyers, I guess there is a down side to that

No sooner had I spoke when it looks like the rescue package might let them sail  on in business !

 

I think they're a great addition to the marketplace, and to MotoGP too !

So the creditors lose 70% of their money and KTM sails on as normal, the CEO taking his big bucks. Could still go belly up as they need finance to pay back the 30% of the debt

Pretty shitty isn't it. Wonder how long the Chinese will stay on board especially if they don't get results with MotoGP.
