The new models, which have been designed and engineered by KTM, and the back log of unsold stock are inherently KTM of old. Others may feel assured by the change of finances, but all I see for now is that the warranty should be ‘okay’. That, to me is the only relevance for some time. How things will work (improve?) now for warranty and service will be interesting. It will take a several years to improve the product and their reputation. I will leave it to others to spend their money on their products and test the quality and service for some time. I’m out for the foreseeable.
I had in mind Hero, Mahindra, Bajaj, TVS, Eicher, and various Chinese companies more widely. Going back to KTM, they are probably a dead duck. IMHO.
