Heavily discounted. Cheaply made shit!

Nope.
Actually the bike one needs to do the least to if a guy is really serious.  Some say the steel frame hinders them,
some say it’s better to flex a bit.  
The air forks, vs springs, again, personal preference.

Thing is, all of them are so good at this point in time,
maybe 5% use 90% of what the new stuff offers.

It’s kind of funny really.
Like seeing these new Corvettes, Mustangs and Challengers on the road.

You know, none of those guys are really
gonna run the piss out of them😄

As far as I am concerned they are junk .
When I went to look at them I was agast at the crap that was being offered. So much plastic . Which I suppose is good if you are dumping a lot. All I wanted was a small bore curb  hopper.
But the thing that really turned me off was the tiny foot controls. This was on the dual purpose bikes. Just screamed cheap.

As far as bring a poser bike, idk. I can’t says since idk anyone whom has ktm.but I think the percentages you put up are an extreme exaggeration. I know people with those hot cars and they run the crap out of them believing.
