Actually to make a comparison of KTM and BMW is kind of erie.. BMW is what every bike manufacture wanted to be.. the owners were on the bmw kool aide from birth and would never sway.. that is until BMW started building bikes in China.. The loyal BMW owners are taking this as if they were kicked squarely in the balls.. some have sold their prized antique bmw's(I have seen them sold and bought) and they have moved to KTM and trump and the like.. KTM is now on the same path.. when more production moves to india you will see less people stay with that brand.. no reason to pay top dollar for a bike that both the R&D and production is in india by people who do not have the passion.. They are on the BMW path.. and it will not be pretty.. Its not the same as cars being made everywhere.. most car buys only see the bottom line.. they do not drive the car cause they want to.. or race it.. its just a cage to most..
