Months after an 11th hour salvation from Indian motorcycle manufacturer Bajaj, KTM is still seemingly finding it difficult to navigate its post insolvency, and nearly DOA, world as the company is once again announcing that production of its upcoming bikes is being delayed. Again.

As well as the brave—possibly naive—face that the current CEO, Gottfried Neumeister, has shown in public through press releases and talks with the media.
But now, after once again saying that everything at the brand is hunky-dory only a few short weeks ago through its first-half sales and revenue figures, Neumeister is announcing that it's going delay production for four of its newest motorcycles, including one of the most anticipated from the brand in recent memory. Yeah, KTM is delaying its superbike return again.
