That, or very low prices...

However, it will be plainly obvious where it is being designed. BMW has core characteristics that come from the German design core regardless of assembly point. Italian design is obvious as is Japanese. KTM is seen all over the attitude of their product, even when built in India. My hope is that the re-engagement of Husky and Husaberg will mean the elimination of the Cagiva legacy and a return to the Swedish design that made Husky and Husaberg the stuff I desired in earlier years. Being built in Sweden would be a plus, and the market may bear it. As a drummer, I still buy Paiste cymbals made in the original factory for the qualities that imparts, regardless of cost...

They seem to be emulating Bimota but without the outrageous prices. It was a shame that Husaberg has been relegated to a blue KTM. Their backslanted four stroke was a great concept that worked quite well. It’s a shame there wasn’t enough market for them all to survive on their own.

All of these products seem too similar to exist under the same corporate umbrella. Perhaps an Indian or Chinese firm comes into play, or...Triumph??? International intrigue awaits.
