Probably because there's no market for 2nd hand large KTMs ...unless they sell them cheap.
PCP .... the killer of the nearly new used bike market!

You have just upset the Orange cart...........
Speaking of buying from Jersey! Is there much benefit from doing so?
Ffs, we need MORE dealers, not less

South coast KTM owners might be unhappy to see Crescent in Verwood giving up the franchise at the end of the year. For me this means a very convenient (15 mins away) dealer becomes a very inconvenient dealer in Exeter or Bristol FFS!
Still, make the decision whether to service the bike myself or not somewhat easier. Every cloud etc.
Crescent is my dealer, and I was intending to go in next week (post NEC visit) to put a deposit on a 790 ADV.
Not sure what to do now - go back to BMW, slide across to Triumph, or travel further to find another KTM Dealer
I'm near Southampton, so Crescent wasn't too bad, but Premier are at least an hour away - I think a few people on here rate them, right?
You obviously need a little help in google-fu though if you think Exeter or Bristol are the nearest dealers from there.
Trevor Pope have been a KTM dealer for over 21yrs, his son was European Supermoto Champion (on a KTM), their race mechanic is KTM factory trained, etc, etc,etc.....
I absolutely love KTM bikes and until recently had 3 different models 350 EXC, 690 Enduro and 1190R owned at the same time, all have been faultless as have all my previous models from 1999 and I’ve had a few. I was disappointed when I heard that LeisureTrail in Nottingham were stopping dealing with them. I recently saw a FB post stating that they were carrying on as a dealer and could still supply bikes but not carry out any warranty work, so I went down to see them and find out the reason.
The owner told me how KTM were dictating how the business was run and how they had withheld a sizeable bonus which was due, the long and short of it is that LeisureTrail told them to collect all the bikes in the showroom (68 I think) and that they were stopping selling them. There is a fair bit more to this but I can’t blame the decision that they took as I would have done the same, however KTM have lost a great dealer and more than likely me also. I was considering the 790R but will look at the Yamaha T7 instead. If they treat all the dealers the same I think more will go the same way.
2 years isn't that short, is it? I thought that was normal, with a few giving 3 now.
