KTM 125 Duke pics and video

With the preview look at the 2011 KTM 125 Duke we mentioned how good it would be to be 16 again to have this kind of option on the motorcycle market – many of us would have pulled the ladies with this one, we’re certain.
It might only have 15 hp (required for younger riders) but it looks so damn good that we’ll forgive it anything.

What we really love about this bike is that KTM hasn’t held back just because it’s for young people.

The KTM 125 Duke looks good and has some sturdy components from Powerparts such that this is one well-accesorised 125cc model.
It’s got WP forks, wavy brake discs matched with radial brake calipers, an aluminium swingarm and other cool bits and pieces like graphics, bodywork and frame sliders.
Generally we’d be expecting a cost that would price some people out of the market, but the joint venture KTM-Bajaj might mean we can get KTM build quality and branding at a more affordable price.

In which case if I have kids, I’m buying this for them.

It’s hard to make a prediction on this one, but we’re expecting to see a number of the little KTM 125 Dukes around the traps soon.
