Once one realizes that they are just vehicles and nothing more, they can be used for things they are not designed for

I have to wonder, is there room in this segment of motorcycling to be profitable? Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, KTM, Husqvarna, GASGAS and probably another, I missed. 
 

edit And Triumph.

Ya, ok those are cool but to destroy a half million dollar road car in the mud is just someone with FU money, and making more FU money, by destroying the car.

They'll likely get some sales from brand loyalists but probably not a lot. To make it work they'll have to win like KTM/Husky has against the Japanese but KTM was first a dirt bike company then made streetbikes, this is opposite so we'll see. If they're successful I could see them entering the middle weight dual sport/adventure market which still appears to be a growing segment. Winning at motocross is very expensive.
