Kronreif, Trunkenpolz, Mattighofen (KTM) is an Austrian motorcycle manufacturer, that has been building [[motorcycle]]s since 1953. They have a strong reputation in [[motocross]] and [[enduro]] racing. The early roadsters produced by KTM were mostly small-capacity two-strokes, powered by engines from the fellow Austrian firm of Rotax. In 1991 KTM went bankrupt due to losses on its bicycle and radiator manufacturing operations. Motorcycle production was recommenced soon afterwards under new ownership. Recently production has focused on large four-stroke singles, including enduro bikes and the Duke, a 620cc dual sport. | Kronreif, Trunkenpolz, Mattighofen (KTM) is an Austrian motorcycle manufacturer, that has been building [[motorcycle]]s since 1953.

===EXC (2T enduro, none exist)=== | |||
No 2T models exist, "EXC" is common shorthand for "EXC-F" | |||
===EXC-F or EXC-G (4T enduro, road, dirt capable)=== | |||
Note: The "-G" suffix is an EXC-F that is California emissions compliant for the green emissions sticker. Please add a re-direct to about the "-G" version to the EXC-F page unless a EXC-G version does not have an equivalent EXC-F model. | |||
Note: "EXC" is common shorthand for an "EXC-F" because there are currently (2022) no existing bikes that are 2-strokes in the EXC space and there probably will never be because of emissions and consumer demand. | |||
