Back in September 2022, MV Agusta first announced that it had reached a North American distribution deal with KTM. If you’ve been following the story at any point from then until May 2023, you already know that the ties between the two companies have only grown stronger since then.
Just two months later, in November 2022, KTM purchased a 25.1-percent stake in MV Agusta, following a €30M ($31.1M USD) investment in the Varese, Italy-based moto manufacturer. If thoughts and/or rumors hadn’t already started to swirl about KTM’s intentions toward the historic Italian brand before, there was probably no way to avoid it now.
