Default The Future / Updates

Has anyone heard of any recent updates whether from GGNA or KTM, whats the story on the GG dealer network. Will the existing GG dealers continue with Red bikes only, will KTM dealers sell both Red and Orange bikes.

I will be looking to trade up this year and are wondering about options.

I asked my local Husky dealer if they would be getting GasGas now that thet've been bought by KTM and he said no. He said that it is KTM policy to have only one of "their own" brands in any dealership. They love their brands being sold next to non KTM brands but no KTM/HUSKY/GasGas dealerships. Their goal is to have their products in as many different dealerships as possible.

Weird. A local dealer has Can-am, Ski-doo, Sea-doo, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM, Husqvarna, Alta Motors and CFMoto brands.

Maybe 'cause i live in Montana, and dealers are sparse, they let multiple brands co-exist.

Here in Texas. Most of the KTM dealers are dual branded.

I spoke with a KTM dealer here in Ontario back in early December, they heard nothing from KTM head office and did not look like he would be carrying any GG. Given there were maybe 5 GG dealers here in Canada to start, the future will be bleak if more are not added. Considering my local GG dealer appear to be selling off the GG parts inventory, I doubt they will be carrying red KTMs.

Local KTM dealer sells KTM, Husky, and Honda.

Not really.
It was true at one time.

So when will the first KTM flavoured GasGas bikes be coming off the production line?

I guess we'll be seeing fuel injected Gassers sooner than originally expected.
