| Re BDG original questions:
1: Can't talk too much about KTM's re financing as I am still under a "confidentiality agreement" but I do know it was vital at the time and more recently GP activities brought the subject full circle back again, and life in the European Motorcycle manufacturing industry is not a life of Riley! Just look at the recent TI reversal out of Ducati.
2: Competitors - well as they make the same transport vehicle (motorbikes) they are competitors - but - every manufacturer will pronounace that they are not in "direct" competition despite the fact that they clearly would dearly love to "win" a sale from one another.
3: Finally from a personal perspective - if KTM made a YELLOW one I'd be in the dealer showroom mucho pronto. However I'm really hoping that the Ducati see sense and HypoM is released in YELLOW, then you'll maybe see mine in PRONTO. |
