hartebreak Liked a reply to forum topic Part 3 : Don't Catch a Falling Knife : PIERER Mobility AG has to cover additional liquidity requirements at the level of KTM AG.
11/16/2024 8:28am This!!!! I do feel like they could have used Husqvarna to be like the off-road brand. Make all of the XC. XCW and EXE lines white and roll with it. But the way they did it, they were just eating their own. Never made sense, add to it the red bike and it really makes me scratch my head. KTM had such a good thing going and they had to go screw it all up. To the point made above, I really doubt many people were like, "I'm kinda done with Honda, and no way in hell will I ride...

11/16/2024 6:20am I’d like to know how many more KTMs they would have sold had they not offered white and red models. I’m guessing it would be a wash but with a ton more marketing expense. I know going through a recent mini bike stage with my family we bought what color my kid liked and that was the only deciding factor-...

11/15/2024 4:44pm The bottom line is energy. Energy costs have skyrocketed along with interest rates laying waste to everything in its path along with inflation at least here in America. With some luck we might see some easing and recovery in the next couple of years, but it will take some time for the tide to go back out.

11/13/2024 12:46pm You guys don’t see how the Jett v Deegs battles are already being manufactured just like the x games did with 38 and 199… it’s the same exact thing. This will bring the most new viewers IMO.

11/13/2024 12:22pm I think #2. How many people that watch football 12hrs a week buy new footballs every year? How many nascar/F1 fans take their sports cars to track days? Slim to none I’d say. “Growing the sport” so that riders deep in the field can have lucrative careers means gaining a TV audience that’s willing to watch every weekend and attend events. Not appealing to us diehard fans who already ride, they’ve got us. Jett modeling fashionable clothes cast a wider net to catch people that would otherwise not have any interest in MX. And to be completely honest MX riders...

11/7/2024 7:26pm The best guys will always be paid as such and even were back then. I'm sure Deegan will make bank if he continues on his current trajectory and if I'm being honest, he has more value than other top tier racers in the past due to his social media presence. It may not be one gear brand that dominates like in the past where someone like Fox has every top-dog but honestly I think that is actually better overall for the industry. You get more brand representation that way with someone like Webb getting a Fly deal instead of being...

11/6/2024 2:48pm I think his current deal is up at the end of 25 and it’s hard to see him going back to ktm. Doesn’t seem like it’s been the most rosey relationship. Star will have a spot for him, maybe kawi.

11/5/2024 12:43pm It looks like Jett pretty much timed the market perfect (COVID craze) when he made his splash and signed the big contracts. Fast forward to todays economy - Does Deags get his big deal? Or has it already happened?
