If KTM had not pulled the plug on the Long Way Round trip would the brand be in the same position now ?
Guess they would have scaled the operation years ago and have been in a stronger position.
This link to Cycle World's Harley Davidson Sportster includes a video discussion podcast with Kevin Cameron and editor Mark Hoyer. It's over an hour long so even if you're interested might be one to bookmark to watch when time permits. They not only discuss the Sportster from beginning to end in 2021, they touch on what's important when it comes to designing motorcycles that people want to buy. I think HD's board of directors should watch it.
