Yeah, there's a great deal of crossover but a quite different philosophy. You're probably right.
CA is festooned with KTM and latterly Husky - they were well ahead of the curve with 50 state legal dirtbikes you could dual sport. After being out for 13+ years, Honda are only just releasing a 450 dual sport. Nuts.

I suppose it wouldn't be if the brake is an OTP Brembo and the clutch is from parts box. Strange though..
@Jung Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things though? I mean...it's a case of market domination through diversifying brands isn't it? I.e Lexus/Toyota etc.
Since their Indian shareholders have a massive cut, they might want Husqy as the bling version to KTM for the Western crowd.
I do know that I started seeing more and more KTM's when I was out in SE Asia.
