Wonder if they are growing the market or gaining share from the other makers.

$1,131,710,400 in revenue. That's impressive no matter what company you are.

Someone post consolidated financials. Prefer P&L. Of all brands.

I'd like to review but I am too lazy and do not care quite enough to search.

They have not posted their 2015 annual report yet but do have their first half 2015 year posted.

HD USA sales were down 3.9% last year. With the strong dollar this also hurts foreign sales. But who cares about the japs, kind of like looking at a cool Tesla and comparing sales with toyota.

All 3 of our kids started and progressed riding KTM 50's, 65's, 85's, 150's and now 250F's. Can't do that with any other brand. KTM has a huge range of two strokes that are improved year after year. KTM makes the lightest 250 & 450 fourstrokes that perform amazing. They bring cool Factory Editions to market. The race team dominates the Supercross and Motocross Series. They have done wonders for the sport of motocross worldwide. KTM deserves this level of success.

Brand Loyalty. I wouldn't even consider another..maybe that's bad...maybe not. Just have no interest in changing.
Slight to major improvements every year. Excellent resale makes it easy to upgrade every couple of years.

Don't back pedal bro, it's pretty obvious you're throwing a bit of a jab at Katoom

I'm looking at their 250f. Hard to think there was a time when they weren't a go to choice, long ways from the pingree and mc days.

I've been a long time Yamaha guy, but just picked up my first KTM today. I will say the fit and finish of these bikes is outstanding on top of all the cool thoughtful details that the other brands leave out. Just the giant tool binder, manual kit you get is awesome, there clearly is love for the sport in the orange offices. If this bike is any bit as reliable as my blue bikes have been I will be a repeat KTM customer. You cannot argue out of all the manufacturers they put forth the biggest effort into R&D.

That number sounds amazing, and is, but with Japan mostly taking the decade off, maybe it really is not? Id think that number would be worth more of a response than Yamaha making a yz250x?

I wonder how it compares to the four wheeled offroad cars the fat people buy? I mean, food impaired people.

I like KTM, and can definitely see my next streetbike being a KTM.

A buddy of mine was a KTM dealer in the 80's/90's. I felt sorry for him.

He sold the dealership for almost nothing about ten years ago.

Timing is everything.

I wish they would break down sales by model.

I would love to see how much the offload market is helping them as well as two strokes.

It seems like orange bikes are everywhere. Yellow, green, and red are rare to see(new) in my area.

Dude, sorry.... but stfu! Congratulate a brand that is putting everything into moto and leave it at that. Seriously, get over your kawi and honda and appreciate a company that actually cares about the sport you supposedly love. And calling anybody a troll is pretty damn bold after that tiny, green, hanging out under a bridge attempt of yours. For fucks sake.

So I am not allowed to be interested to know the financial difference between the brands??? It wasnt a criticism of KTM at all but a genuine question, I fail to see how the hell that is trolling. It also ties in to the OP...unlike your and others opinion about me, that is trolling.
