KTM could hire Reed, who's way behind Dungey... Or KTM could hire Reed, who could produce some top-10 results for their Husqvarna brand. It's a no-brainer.
It is a takeover. My god the Italian factory is done and everything moved and your new Husky is well a KTM. Sounds pretty simple. TAKEOVER.
It was NOT a takeover. It was a purchase. BMW sold Husky! And the new owner can do what ever they want with it. GET OVER IT!
I certainly understand and respect your opinion. To me it was a calculated takeover essentially whether bought or not. No getting over it. My choice. My decision....................... But thanks for expressing your feelings!!! I got a new attitude. I just don't give a crap................. Hec my Italian 125 will outlast 4 KTM 125's so I'm good for years to come!!! LOL.............................
Doesn't make any difference what Reed rides next year. He's old and slow. Rarely broke in to the top 10 out doors this year. Married, kids and big crashes have unstandably slowed him up considerably.
