I purchased the motorcycle March 27th, 2026 and was told that I would receive it within a week. Then had to call KTM on April 15, 2026 and was told by a representative that it would be another week to receive the part. The following week came by and was told it would be another week or two. Two weeks have passed and now they have absolutely no answer as to when my part will be available. This has been a total of six weeks since purchasing the vehicle and I cannot even drive it as it was issued a recall the day after purchase. I am out of pocket $7000.00 and I have zero answers as to when I will receive it. I do not fault the dealership for selling it to me and I was given opportunities for a full refund but as it was difficult to get this motorcycle as is within my budget. I am without transportation as long as this issue continues. I am walking miles to and from work every night. I already received the title and the license plate for the motorcycle before I have even started it, which is unheard of.
