KTM/Husqvarna... now how will this play out?

Right ...

KTM will ruin Husky. Probably rape them for technology/patents and fold them. MNB is sad...

I guess all the BS pics of pimkins everyone has put on the Husky site paid off ...

Please rename this web site ...

I hope the dealers here make it some how .... It'll probably work out for them ...

Myself, I 'm finished and as I said before, I have bikes purchased against this pathetic bmw case ...

---

I have a bad attitude on bmw and ktm ... Every bmw I see now will always produce a fukk-you first response ...

It could be worse - it could be Harley Davidson handing over the cash in another one of their all-too-common mid-life crisis moments.

Explain how that would be worst?

Buy Spanish, looks like ol George Erl was a little ahead of the curve

No thanks.

I'm going to keep riding my WR250 until it's worn to a nub, after that happens I'll look for the best tall man bike made. I'm brand loyal to who ever makes the bike I like the best. (KTM is way down on the list)

Husky was toasted when bmw purchased them and pimped the name ... This is just another kick down hill and the brand now is no better than a rag doll being tossed around before it is terminated ...

Haha I'll never forget the add they put in the bike magazines a few years ago with a Buell Blast crushed into a cube. They might as well have said, "To all you suckers who bought the blast with the half assed, half a sportster engined shopping cart, here's what we think of you. Would you like to buy this crushed up Blast as a conversation piece to show your friends and family how much HD think of their customers?"
Erick Buell must be one hell of a nice guy to deal with that bullshit clusterfcuk of a partnership.

I'm going to take a wait and see attitude. I wasn't in the fold when BMW bought Husky, I can imagine the comments when that happen. It might be for the better that a dirt bike oriented company will be in charge. While the Nuda and Terra have they're points, they aren't really the first thing that comes to mind when you think Husqvarna.

I dont think Husqvarna has any ground breaking patents or designs that really interest KTM. No one can prove that Husqvarna has any DI tech. Some photoshopped pics of a WR300 with DI stickers dont mean that it really exists.

Glad to have one of the last real ones.....I had KTMs and they were ok....but the wr300 fit right..smoked my friends $$KTMs and at least it has a legacy motor...parts should be around for another decade...my hope would be they make the husky a woods entry level....Ktm middle $$....husaberg elite$$$.....

Yeh Im with ya..
My "Wood Rapist 300" is the dogs bollocks! I dont want to imagine getting rid of that!

Tell us how you feel Ray Ray, you are holding back...

Thanks for giving me the go-ahead here ...

I'm sitting here now and can feel the water running down my back and I know it is piss and not rain water ... bmw is a pisser at best ...

i'm kinda speechless, will wait & see. Just got the 12 TXC310, hope at least parts can be available............ geez

I try to always remain upbeat and look at the half full glass, but this news leaves me with bad quesy feeling. Of course I am getting the flu. I will wait and see but this smells like yesterdays cat litter.
