KTM's parent company, Pierer AG, is in deep financial trouble as it blames economic conditions for its failings. But things are so bad, its latest financial release hints its possibly looking to sell a majority stake in the company.

@blindbunny Tbf the bikes that sell the best are the absolute indomitable 390's (Indian made). One of the few models that won't have a leak...

Their newer bikes all seem to be the ones with issues. I'll keep that in mind when I'm looking for a new one ๐Ÿ‘

They're just wheelie monsters I'll always think of that when I see a 390 ๐Ÿ๏ธ
