KTM is SAVED...but at What Cost?

The big motorcycle news today is that KTM has worked out a deal to stay alive and repay some of their debts while also restarting their production lines very quickly. Check out Zac's full article on ADVRider.com here: https://www.advrider.com/ktm-ag-gets-a-lifeline/ Big shout out and thanks to Zac for putting that together. More info on this story: RideApart "KTM Won't Die After All, But No One Knows Who Saved It:" https://www.rideapart.com/news/751803/ktm-restucturing-succeeds-insolvency/ Jalopnik: "KTM Isn't Dead Yet:" https://www.jalopnik.com/1800024/ktm-bankruptcy-court-debt-hearing-lifeline/ Now that we know KTM is probably going to continue as a motorcycle manufacturer...what does that mean for their model lineup? My theory? We know that ADV, Dual Sport, and dirt bikes are selling well. Their street lineup? Not as much. My guess is KTM ditches most of their street motorcycles to double down on what makes the most money and the segment of the motorcycle industry that's growing the fastest: Adventure motorcycles and dual sport bikes. The KTM bankruptcy has been a huge story in motorcycle media and I just had to jump on this KTM update as soon as possible, so I hope you'll forgive the quick and dirty nature of this KTM bankruptcy update video.
