Very good idea!
I'll start: here in the north of Italy there is "Spazio Moto" in Castel San Giovanni (PC)... They are not an authorized KTM assistance point, but they know _very_well_ the orange bikes(especially 4-strokes). Unfortunately I had just bad experiences with authorized KTM mechanics here in Italy: too expensives with little know-how! http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/frown.gif In Spain I had 3 good experiences with KTM official dealers: Caspe (Zaragoza)(MOTO CASPE - CAPELLAN N 24 - 50700 CASPE), Madrid (SECOMOTO S.A. - ATOCHA N 90 - 28012 MADRID) and Granada (J.J: EXPO-MOTO S.L. - CAMINO DE RONDA N 24 - 18006 GRANADA). Very pleasant, polite, doing their job perfectly and, last but not least, unexpensives.

Hai,
KTM dealer in the Netherlands, very good service, friendly people. Brouwer Motors Zwartebroek On highway A1 take exit "Hoevelaken" near "Amersfoort". Folow signs to "Terschuur" After you leave the town (Hoevelaken) you have to turn left in a bend. There is a sign "Zwartebroek". When you enter the town (Zwartebroek) just folow the road until it bend to the right and you can still go straight. Go straight, after 25 mtr on the right you'll see it. It is small, but good.

Ljubljana, Slovnia.
Official KTM Dealer (but I could not see any bikes). Uri the mechanic speaks English and, like most Slovenians, is friendly & v. helpful. If he can't fix, I'm sure he knows a man who can. It's on the south side of the city approx., 6k on Trzaska Street (a main road). The garage is located on the laft hand side of the street as you leave the city. They also sell cars. Name: Tik Tak Avto Address: Trzaska 135, 1000 Ljubljana Vic Tel: 01 256 1660 Fax: 01 256 1667 Costs: Approx $16 per hour Labour + parts. Regards James |
Istanbul, Turkey.
Last KTM Garage before a long way east! Speak to Selcuk, the owner in the Showroom or Bulent, the service manager in the workshop. Head Mechanic: Hussain (Supports Galatasary & likes to sing out load - not a bad voice). True Turkish hospitality with a spattering of Turkish chaos thrown in for good measure. The mechanics are excellent & very inventive & resourceful. Despite language difficulties (use Bulent) they have a great sense of humour & care about you & your bike. Copious amounts of tea will be served & if you're around at lunchtime, you might be treated to a fine lunch with the boys. At the end of the work your dirty bike will come back gleaming after the compulsory wash & blow dry. I would advise that when specifying the work required to Bulent, make sure this is clearly transferred to the mechanics. All work will be completed in the end, but as the garage is located about 15k's east on the Asian side, a return trip can be a drag. Location: Approach from either east or west on the D100. If coming from European Istanbul - check out the Karakoy-Harem Ferry which can save time & long route on Bosphorus bridge - Harem is the start of the D100. Ride for about 15k's avoiding everything that swerves or toots at you, and you will see the 'Maltepe' sign. Follow this road towards for about 1.5ks through the streets (it will become a one way street) and at the 1st traffic lights to a main road, take a right. Continue up the hill for about 1.5'ks and at the 2nd set of traffic lights you will see a Peugot Garage on the left. Take the left at these lights as the workshop is around the back. Cost: Nov 2001 - 10,000,000 TR Lira or $6.5 per hour labour + Tip. Parts - European prices. Name: Demaks Motor ve Servis Hizmetleri (Also Ducati, Trimumph & CCM dealership). Workshop Address: Bagdat Caddesi (Street) No. 12, Adatepe, Maltepe, Istanbul. Tel: 0216 442 1580 Fax: 0216 442 2380 Showroom Tel (Selcuk): 0216 418 7750 Regards, James |
