| Ducati brand loyalty vs KTM
I've owned 5 Ducati's over the last 7 or 8 years (not just the sports bikes either) so think i'm a reasonably representative customer.
I also own a KTM 950 and have noticed several others have either bought KTM's or have considered them as a potential purchase. In another post Harv748 said he had no particular brand loyalty to Ducati and was considering an Austrian purchase next. (This is not a dig at Harv BTW) But many of the other KTM owners or prospective owners have had several Ducati's over the years.
KTM were on the verge of going bust in the early 90's and until the launch of the v twin 950 in 2003, predominently produced competition dirt bikes with the exception of a few single cylinder supermotos.
There will always be people swapping from a 999 to the latest GSX10R1Blade, and vice versa.
I'm sure Ducati are aware of the threat.
Do you think that KTM are Ducati's biggest competition and why?
What would affect your buying decision either way and why? |
