Buying a KTM in Europe?
I'm hoping to buy a KTM adventure and looking for the best deal. I'm willing to travel for it. Which country (dealers names if you have them) offers the best price? I'm not only limited to Europe, any advice helps, Thanks,
Pete

I've bought mine in Germany.
The biggest KTM-dealer in Europe is Sommer in Oberhausen Germany

Hi Freek,
I checked out that URL and it looks great. Hopefully I'll be able to talk with one of their sales guys soon.
Thanks for your help,
Pete

It is not possible to register a bike in every country.!
So don't look at the price only.
Just ask the dealer.

I mean you have to register the bike on your name. I some countries that's a problem.
In Germany you can only register a bike when you have a (living) adres in Germany.
I think the dealer can tell you more and maybe he has solutions.
In the Netherlands it is possible to register, but you pay to much here.
