There’s a classic scene in the movie The Naked Gun that reminds me of KTM’s current predicament, and accurately sums up my feelings toward the Austrian manufacturer.

And then, in a fit of perfect straight-man comedy, he tells them, “All right, nothing to see here. Please disperse. Nothing to see here!” as the entirety of what’s going on behind him goes up in smoke, fireworks, and (of course) giant fireballs.
