Well, they could maybe try making a motorcycle that will remain operational for more than a distance of nine consecutive feet. Did anyone in the boardroom think of that?
- I'm with you but it wasn't always this way. It seems like this started happening after KTM got bought...
Expensive bikes, many riders pushing them very hard and poor maintenance is a perfect receipe for failure as a brand.
- My coworker maintains his like KTM is blackmailing him. And he still has had issues with the almost brand new bike.
  
  That’s sad
@blindbunny Tbf the bikes that sell the best are the absolute indomitable 390's (Indian made). One of the few models that won't have a leak...
- Their newer bikes all seem to be the ones with issues. I'll keep that in mind when I'm looking for a new one 👍
  
  They're just wheelie monsters I'll always think of that when I see a 390 🏍️
