dunefreak Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Got some pretty crappy news yesterday. Champion KTM has closed their doors. I'm glad I got my new bike when I did! Otherwise I would have had to drive out of state to pick one up, not to mention probably wouldn't have gotten as good of a deal as I did at Champion too. I texted Greg (owner) yesterday and he called me right back to verify the bad news. He feels really bad and said he did everything in his power to try to save it, but couldn't. I hope another KTM dealer opens in town. Quote
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 wow that is crazy. and crazy timing for you Pete. wonder what they did with inventory? they had parts for raptors, plus riding gear, and all the other stuff. I was trying to get ahold of them because i bought my goggles there and the strap broke over the weekend. I can only find a basic receipt that doesn't show that i bought the goggles just a Dept# and the price. Hopefully i can get Oakley to fix them still. Crazy...that owner was a cool guy from what i seen. Quote
ynot Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Isn't there a KTM dealer on Boulder highway next to Nv. Suzuki? Quote
dunefreak Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 Sportsman isn't s dedicated KTM only dealer, but yes I guess they are a KTM dealer in addition to Gas Gas, Husky, etc. I've never been very impressed with the place but I guess I will have to give them a try if I need any warranty service.

dunefreak Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 Correction. Sportsman is no longer a KTM dealer. They sold their franchise to Champion. Their mechanic does work on KTM's though. Quote
ynot Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 The owner Casey is the promoter for the BITD series. He's a pretty nice guy. I have alked to him a couple of times when trying to get raffle prizes for clean up. Quote
raspadoo Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 If Casey Folks (BITD Promoter) owns it and runs it anything like his races, it should be well organized. Someone will grab the KTM franchise and add it to their line. Quote
JoeDuner Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 damn, that's a bummer. let me know if you hear about someone taking KTM service over in town. I may need some work done in the future. Quote
1BADYFZ Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 one of the dealers closed down in Mojave here in so cal also, not sure what is going on! Quote

dunefreak Posted June 1, 2012 Author Posted June 1, 2012 just curious, did they tell ya they were closing before you bought the bike???? No, but I don't know if Greg (the owner) was 100% sure whether or not he was going to be forced to close. It wasn't something he wanted to do. It doesn't matter to me whether they knew or not though. They gave me a great deal on the bike I wanted and they had one in stock. Quote
