KLXBEN 0 Posted June 26, 2011 I have not had my KTM too long but have had a few people ask me what KTM stands for. I tell them Kost's Too Much or Kost's Tons of Money Does anybody really know what it means? I looked on KTM talk and surprisingly there is no thread on the subject (they have one on everything else!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertaccio 412 Posted June 26, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KTM AHA moment I always thought it's Kronreif und Trunkenpolz Mattighofen from the startup, but that name is only after ( now) Kronreif became the major shareholder. Luckily his name started with a K!!! for a no letter change logo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsfox 0 Posted June 27, 2011 For ME!...KISSS THIS MACHINE!!!! (Because I LOOOOVE it so much....) (I still own a few OTHER manufacturers bikes, which get used on much rarer occasions now).......there is NO CONTEST for performance, horsepower, light weight, amazing suspension, ......and delivering sheer JOY when riding it......my 03' 450exc also consistantly got 65 MPH for the 4 days (hundreds of miles) of riding in Utah....high elevation, I'm not pushing it all the time...etc, etc......unheard of I've been told?....and not even my norm, BUT, I must give credit to the GREAT CARB WORK and settings by Tim at All american KTM in Ramona...!! The bike might Keep Taking Money...but you know ALL the bikes and manufacturers will do that!!!....(2 of my good friends with honda's JUST spent BIG bucks on engine rebuilds)...maintenance and repairs happen to everyone....
