Bajaj now fully in control of KTM.

Finally took the full control of KTM bros by Bajaj.

Now get those 590cc twin cylinder back on track we need an 5-6L twin cylinder 60-70HP Mid weight bike in India.

The downside is Bajaj being Bajaj sometimes dilute the shit of it brand. They done this mess in Pulsars, Discovers and Dominars. Till today absolute clusterfuck in model lineup.

Pulsar should have been 150cc entry brand. Discover should always target the 110c and 125cc. Platina, CT100 for 100cc. But no Bajaj messed up so much we saw discover brand removed, Pulsar become 125, Introduced Dominar when People were asking for Pulsar 400cc. Created an mess with NS, F series. Destroyed the Avengers Brand also.

Shame on you Bajaj for this screwups.

Is there a major American connection to KTM? That guy sounds very American, as opposed to Austrian. There is nothing particularly anti India about his comments. If a Brazilian, Mexican or South Korean company took over KTM, much the same things would be said, you figure.

 

[liberalredditor]

indian companies do have a serious issue, includes tvs, tata, mahindra, bajaj, hero, etc

their servicing is shit, their service centre guys think that the company gave the people the car for free, and its their birth right, fundamental duty to harass customers


i hope bajaj ktm can improve this issue and so all the indian moto companies improve and go global


and ktm acquisition gives bajaj opportunity to sell its bestsellers at a reasonable price in markets which are controlled by chinki chowmeins, pulsar, dominar, avenger and its scooters like chetak can dominate the market, in turn benefitting indian exports

Frankly felt same way when Nomura took over Ranbaxy, Pepsi took over gold spot thumbs up brands looking time back. Or once known popular brands closed when China starting dumping things.. I used to wonder will there be a time India companies taking over western business?

Anyway Bajaj is not the first one to do so and hope is not the last one and hope many more Indian companies rise to occasion.

Bajaj needs more creativity and model consistency in their fleet. I hope they introduce an adv bike using 410 twin cylinder which ktm gave to cfmoto for its 410 bike.

indian motorcycle race would now become more exciting

honda launched hornet 1000cc bike at low cost, bajaj buys ktm, lets se what hero and tvs do to up their game, ultraviolette is getting popular in electric motorcycle category

ola is washed, ather has a future, lets see what happens next

 

[crazywithmath]

Frankly felt same way when Nomura took over Ranbaxy,

Nomura did not acquire Ranbaxy tho, Sun Pharma did.

Nomura did not acquire Ranbaxy tho, Sun Pharma did.

Initially Nomura did most of the lifting.

maybe the babus are getting serious now and persuading indian pvt companies to acquire as much phoren companies as possible,the chowmein way, first get them, take their r&d efforts, get it to bharat, increase the phoren companies manufacturing presence here, sell them at a profit - boom you become a global giant from bharat's backyards
