KTM's a pretty proven brand. Could be neat.

Doubt it'll happen; but it'd be neat. I want one.

It looks to be just a rebranded existing KTM model, but hey, if BMW can sell cars and bikes why not?

I emailed the link to the bf. He said the cover over the headlight looked like a Nazi cap. It kinda does.

VW needs to do better than just re-badging a KTM. (yawn) They need to build the GX3. Sign me up!



This is another sign that VW is getting intellectually lazy. They strike a deal with Chrysler to make minivans(a dieing segment) when they had a design at auto shows in 2001 that would;ve made a big splash in a segment populated by bland boxes on wheels. GIVE US THE MICROBUS!!!

the bike is pretty ok\cool..looks a little too much like a sport bike and a dirt bike had a baby, though.

the GX-3 would be sweet!
