VolksWagen: Entering the motorcycle market
It's now reported that VW will set up a company together with KTM and start producing motorcycles as well as possibly a 3-wheeler. The pictures shows how a first motorcycle might look like. The two-wheeler would pitch VW head-to-head with fellow German giant BMW, which is already established in the motorcycle industry. But it's not only the bike market that VW is looking to muscle in on: it sees potential in three wheels, too. Cast your mind back to the 2006 Los Angeles Motor Show, and you might recall the GX-3 concept. It now looks as though production of the firm's wacky motorbike/car hybrid could be back on the agenda.
