Could also be like when microsoft threw Apple a life line in mid 90's too. They didnt want to be hated or have goverment after them so they actually wanted a little competition so they wouldnt be blamed for this and that
M$ was also selling $600MIL or was it $300MIL worth of APL software per yr then .. Lose APL and bye-bye sales ... I forget the exact numbers that were posted at that time ... M$ might not have ever conceived at that point in time what was going to happen in the future or if they did conceive it, they dismissed it ... BillG wanted competition? I could not say that with a straight face. I can't even write that statement. And I do not mean to belittle BillGs' work currently. He's now, hitting his stride in the betterment of his fellow man. Of course his wife might have a hand in there also ...
We live behind the pink curtain here in Kommifornia. Huge govt machine that over taxes and over regulates everything. If it wasn't for the AMA and other grass roots groups there would be no open areas to ride something like a new WR at all. It's so bad here that we are often amazed when a new bike comes out and is green sticker legal so we can at least ride them all year off road. Don't even get me started on how they want to preserve land from use so they can doze it all flat in a few years and install solar and wind farms.
Now that I think about this I say SP should. KTM put bng on the Burgs' and called them Husky's sooo if they get GG I could get bng on the pre 2013 Hushy platform. Bng=bold new graphic
It can only be a good thing for GG if SP steps in.To see Husky at the top it game winning races is a good thing. if SP had not stepped in Husky would have been in the same boat as GG is now.
Well KTM didn't buy Husqvarna either, it was SP's side venture so all they are saying is the KTM corp isn't pursuing Gas Gas. How's that for controversy.
Actually getting say a ktm 350 four stroke street dot official like dirt bike isn't always that easy. They probably have one that needs a kit and comes with even less warranty. The kit doesn't work out for folks everywhere either. You can put your order in for next year. Another real separation is in the warranty and the ability to bump it out farther.
Trunkenpolz, KTM is not buying GasGas that much we know, but what about Peirer Ind.? the 100% owner of Husqvarna and @ 52% owner of KTM (if I have my numbers correct). But business wise WHY would be the next question.......I don't think Peirer Ind likes the Latin way of doing things.
