KTM has released 20 images of motorcycles from the company’s rich past. Spanning from dirt to asphalt, street to racing, and old to know, there’s a little something for everyone in this early Christmas package. Founded in 1934 by engineer Hans Trunkenpolz, KTM (Kraftfahrzeuge Trunkenpolz Mattighofen, then later Kronreif & Trunkenpolz Mattighofen) has made its home in Mattighofen, Austria ever since. The company originally started out as a metalworking shop, but in 1953 began producing production-level motorcycles.
