Well, I hadn't thought that I would ever consider down-sizing from a 250, but this nice little beastie almost makes me keen.

KTM 125 Duke

Course, the fact that it's going to be limited to 15bhp is a bit of a turn-off, but other-wise mmmmmmm. (Hate to think what it would cost tho)

Yeah it is lusty. I just remember the Mito from when I was younger. The KTM is definitely the more modern 'sharper' looking piece of kit.

The KTM looks like every other naked bike, and the Mito looks like a 916. No contest really.

Isn't it funny that for a wee bike to look cool, it has to look like a big bike.

Both bikes look pretty good to me for 125's, but the fact is that most people would just buy a bigger bike anyway. The Cagiva hides it's egg beater behind lot's of fairing. The KTM's is on show. The skinny little tyres give them both away.

Pretty sure that 15bhp restriction will be easily lifted. The Aprilia RS125 is about the same in Europe but with the 'race' kit they get out to 33bhp quite easily.

Yeah, but this is a 4 stroke, so expect most scooters to give you a hiding at all the traffic light grand prix's.

They've put CR500 engines in Mitos.

Wonder what could be done with the KTM...

***my first post***

so they're manufacturing this bike in India with slightly cheaper parts to cost up at EURO$4,000... that's about NZ$7,000 - NZ$7,500 right, so realistically about $9,000 - $10,000

The 125cc is for the entry level in Europe to get kids on bikes as they have a much more regulated license system... India will get a 200cc or 250cc and so will Sth America... so why wouldn't we!!! :yes:

I think it would be a ripper of a bike (at 130kg with a 250-350cc motor) especially when the cops nab your license (and bike) for +40kph over the limit in NZ these days, plus gas is $2 a litre now :violin:

Thing is, will KTM continue bringing in road bikes to NZ? How come AMPS dropped it??? too expensive with all the jappas around

choice as bikes KTMs i reckon

It's sexy looking but it's kinda like looking at a supermodel and seeing a bulge in her pants: kinda kills the whole effect.

KTM should be a two stroke! for that reason my vote (like how this has become a poll of sorts) goes for the cagiva, both very sexy bikes tho.
