A lot went wrong for KTM over the last 12 months. A lot. But one thing went right: It got saved. Yes, the Austrian motorcycling giant was saved from basically going the way of the dodo. And in that saving grace, one gifted by Indian motorcycle manufacturer Bajaj, it's been given the green light to continue producing motorcycles into the future.
The key word there being motorcycles.
See, for those who don't remember, KTM had its grubby little hands in a lot of pies at the end there. Not only did it have a bicycle division, which was an absolute albatross around the brand's neck, but KTM also had a supercar venture. Granted, it was a single model—the X-Bow—and was praised for its racecar engineering, it didn't make the waves that the company had hoped for.
