Yeah but that's the thing. At what point do you stop admiring him for his past deeds and face the reality that he has at best messed up, at worst, screwed a LOT of people over?

It's like Ron Dennis in F1. He single handedly brought Mclaren back to dominance in the 80's and 90's. But his mindset was outdated by the 2010's and his leadership ultimately cost Mclaren their works Mercedes partnership and most of their sponsors. A void they took the best part of 15 yrs to recover from.

Yeh Ron Dennis is a good comparative

While not knowing a lot about KTM, I get the impression that they didn't put world economics into their future sales equations. To give a simple example when interest rates go up people have less discretional spending so that new motorbike to ride on the weekend will have to wait so if you forecast less discretional spending then sales will fall
 
I've read that Australian motorcycle sales dropped by 1.8% in 2024 which was less than predicted. While I don't know who did the sales prediction its clear that the companies selling motorcycles in Australia knew they were going to sell less in 2024. Did KTM take into consideration what sales projections were for 2024?

BTW resumption of KTM's motorcycle manufacturing has been shifted back to March
