I always love the "I spoke to a friend/guy someone high up etc etc" rumors there are so many on this site.Chinese whispers eh.

Greed KTM sales has risen hugely over the last decade by no coincidence alot of hard work was put in I'd say they ain't going to let some two bit Chinese manufacturer ruin all their hard work seriously their brand doesn't fit in with China .How many Chinese do you think would buy a 990 ADV bike either KTM or CFmoto or who ever.Chinese want BIG name brands show me the BLING.KTM would sell far more ADV bikes in Australia than China by along shot.

Bikedoc for some reason you think is a GOD and everything he says is gospel.Well in my many years in China doing business and living there if I got a dollar if I believed some Chinese business associate telling me their business is doing this or aligned with some major western business well I'd have a over a thousand bucks by now but little princleing you believe every thing you hear that's your problem naive as you are.

Ok Bikeboc quoted this from his first post

"After some calls back and forth by all and each of us to other third parties, finally we were told that there is some form of collaboration between KTM and CFMoto (but not what form the collaboration takes) only seemingly that the KTM990ADV (although it may have been the KTM690 - but who knows in the TIC translation BS) forms the basis of the CFMoto adventurer design, but with the same 650 inline twin cylinder engine as shared with the NK & TR."

I called BS on this.

Bikedoc and yourself called on me to eat my hat so to speak.Fine happy to do this if proven wrong but I spoke to my friend in KTM Australia and after he stopped laughing he said KTM would never let their brand get trashed by ANY manufacturer let alone a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer.

So little princleling or Bikedoc what time frame are we talking about before we see a KTM motorcycle joint venture with CF moto released onto the Chinese Market.

Because now I will report back on this thread every three months eagerly awaiting a CF moto/KTM adventure bike and not CFmoto just copying KTM as many Chinese manufactures copy and bastardized western brands.

BUT seriously why would KTM do that when obviously they are selling their brand already in China. Why would they let CF moto or anyone else bastardized their brand.

What are you and Bikedoc going to eat when you are proven wrong when this mythological KTM/CF moto combined effort doesn't appear ??
KTM announce China partnership press release at 12th CIMC Expo in Chongqing and launch of new logo... with plenty of discussion going on surrounding the domestically made Duke 390.

Guess I'm still an arsehat then bigdamo?
