Is it a trend


I was looking for something that was for sale on the forum in the last month,  it was quite surprising to see the amount bikes being sold and the large amount of KTM's up for sale, there were

16 Ktms for sale    ( Now make that 18) ( and there another one)

3 Ktms being broken

9 Yams for sale

4 Hondas for sale

4 Suzukis for sale

3 Huskys for sale

and about 10 road bikes

Why are so many KTM's up sale in one month, maybe the statisticians amongst us can come up with a reason. I have been thinking about making more parts for KTM's but at this rate of sale will there be many left to make parts for.

Thats 39 bikes for sale, if the membership of DTRFG is about 350, thats roughly 10% of the membership trying to sell one bike each in a month, just hope its a one off and not a trend that continues

Also look how much choice you get with road homologated dirt-bike style KTMs. There are at least 10 current varieties of Enduro bikes fully ready for use on the road.

Look at the bling that the same company does for you and your bike.

You get choice and style - what more could you want?? (and dont say a sidestand that doesnt snap cuz that one's run it's course)

And of course its great that we have so many non KTM riders here as when you're out on a run its like taking an ugly mate out on a night out -- you get all the attention.

I love my KTM best - cuz it "Keeps Tickling Me" (and I've also owned honda, suzuki and yamaha dirt bikes).

 I think the worrying bit, is the 3 KTM's broken - on bikes less than 10 years old is scaryyawn
