World's sexiest 125?

**rustyrobot** · 6th October 2010, 10:10

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)

WOW. I'd love to see one in real life; see if it does justice to the pictures!

**sil3nt** · 6th October 2010, 10:35

I want one! I will say its for the missus and she won't mind haha

That's nice alright, very cool.

But I still rate this as the sexiest 125.

my vote would be with the ktm on this one.

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.

that KTM is horn. then again, so is big brother!

needs more go imo

**avgas** · 6th October 2010, 15:14

'prilla for me

Also the FZ150 is pretty sweet

That KTM is nice though.

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.

NXR 125 won my heart. so much that i bought it. and now i want another one too.

looks better than bikes 6x it's engine size

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.
