2/18/2025 9:22am Husky and GasGas race teams to be cut from MX/SX before the end of the 2025 season. Rockstar is cutting back their investment with PMG. Depending on whether they can get new sponsors the Husky and GasGas race teams futures look grim. There are talks of discontinuing some of the GasGas models and shift it’s demographic market but that was...

1/26/2025 10:18am These are all lip stick bikes. Small profit margins for dealers but makes it look to the public as if the company’s developing new product. While they have changed some of these models slightly it’s still the same 390 platform.

1/26/2025 10:07am Q1 sales meetings are in the books. This coming week will reveal the courts next step in the restructuring process. The remaining employees don’t expect any transparency from John Hinz or the NA leaders. The motorcyles in the Ohio and California warehouse are indeed going to auction. Only dealers will have the opportunity to purchase these motorcycles from auction. Dealers...

1/20/2025 12:51am You need to be a dealer to buy new bikes at auction. If you’re seriously looking for something, after they list the models that will be available, let your dealer know what you are willing to pay for the model you are looking for. If he can find it for less than what you offered, he can buy it for you. You’ll get the deal you wanted, and the dealer might still make a few bucks. Win/win.

1/19/2025 12:45pm How can KTM North America claim they’re profitable so there’s no problem? Whatever funny money statistics a creative financial guy will twist can make that seem plausible but the parent company bears the brunt of development and liability costs. KTM NA isn’t paying raw material costs, production R&D, manufacturing costs, etc. KTM NA has arguably the easiest job within the company: Sell a popular, successful final product through an established dealer network and operate amateur/professional racing programs without blowing the budget. This sounds like your kid running a small business out of your basement and claiming great profits while you...

1/19/2025 12:43pm Yes bikes are owned by the company. It sounds like they are looking for any funding they can before another lay off wave hits NA.

1/19/2025 12:06pm Outside of San Diego SX things are continuing to go down hill for the PMG. They are sending all their in house motorcycles to auction. Their Virginia warehouse is at full capacity and they have no space in the Ohio or California warehouse. If your into auctions you will probably be able to find a smoking deal as they are...

1/10/2025 8:03am Couldn't have said it better myself. There are correlations between PMG and the US Gov. And people can hate on Musk all they want but they have to put their personal feelings/politics aside and realize he is a net positive to society (a very high net gain). How can you dislike the guy? -Eliminated millions of tons emissions into the atmosphere (Tesla) -Saving lives with their FSD software (my Tesla has saved my life a couple times when I have dozed off) (Tesla) -Trying to make full autonomous vehicles so people can rideshare and reduce more emissions and vehicles on...

1/10/2025 8:02am The upper level management at KTM are a lot like the Biden administration. They look out for themselves with complete disregard to the companies employees and dealers. The decision was made to cut jobs vs have the higher ups return their company vehicles at the end of 2024. I was told the CA office camaraderie is non existent and the...

1/10/2025 7:34am Worked with a dealer in 09 that told the three manufacturers to get bent when they tried to strong arm them into ordering more units for 2010. The old man that owned the dealership was not in the mood to play games and told them to come get all their crap. They quit being a dealer all together.

1/10/2025 7:32am We ran ours 60:1 and it fixed all those issues on our 2020 SX150. No detonation issues but we change top ends every 15-20hrs. Good luck!

1/8/2025 9:36pm They could do final assembly in Austria, from parts manufactured in India and/or China, and still claim manufactured in Austria, I would be surprised if they aren't currently doing that for many parts.

1/8/2025 1:45pm I also have an open mind, but you need to take off the tin foil hat. KTMs issues are not in any way connected to a movement to wipe out all debt and have crypto replace all currencies. It's due to really really bad decisions made by senior leadership. And if Austria were to bail out KTM, I would be absolutely shocked if the existing leaders continued on in their current roles. It’s in the country’s best interests to try and keep high quality manufacturing jobs that export products globally.

1/8/2025 1:45pm IT SOUNDS LIKE the disloyalty the company showed their employees recently is going to transition to dealers. KTM is going to force dealers to take motorcycles or pull the plug on the dealership selling the brand. Dealers are already over stock but will be required to take bikes anyway. KTM will in turn offer storage to dealers for a small...
