I read these numbers as a microcosm of the shift in the motorcycle industry's center of gravity. A prestigious European brand being turned around under Indian capital. Bajaj's scale and mass-production power supporting KTM's technology. My sense that the world's center is on the move is being backed up by these quarterly results.

If the turnaround is going well, hopefully pricing on new models starts to stabilize too. Looking forward to it.

KTM ending up saved by Indian capital is kind of ironic, but honestly it feels like it worked out okay in the end.

It's still just preliminary figures, so probably best not to get too optimistic until the official results come out.

I've been following the financial trouble news for a while, so seeing numbers like this is a relief.

Operating margin turning positive again, curious what percentage it actually recovered to.
