KTM, KTM, KTM. When will this all end for KTM? Honestly, that's super unclear, as it was recently discovered that the Austrian manufacturer wouldn't be able to pay back the 600 million euros in debts next month, a timeline a figure it had negotiated with its creditors when it restructured its business after nearly going insolvent. That in itself would be cause to further worry about the brand's future.
However, things go from bad to worse, as after restarting production at its Mattighofen factory just last month, but not telling the public which models it'd begin producing again, it's shutting down the whole place once again. Not only that, it's shutting down the factory until the end of July. Basically, the factory will have been closed for a whole year without producing motorcycles—which, honestly, might be good given how many they still have on dealership lots.
Well, that's not great.
