KTM has been the story of the motorcycling industry for the last 12 months. Harley's corporate coup was a close second, but nothing can beat the insanity and constant chaos going on at the Austrian manufacturer. There's so much Succession here, I'd be surprised if the show didn't adopt aspects of KTM's insolvency for a future season.
But the future looks, theoretically, brighter than it has in recent months. Yet, we've said this all before.
What I'm talking about is the fact that KTM has announced that it will resume production this July, and that was confirmed to RideApart by the brand's insolvency managers, AKV. This comes after production, which had been paused since late last year, began again in late March, only to be halted after a few short weeks, and only a few thousand motorcycles built.
