User Reviews of 125 Duke and RC 125

5 Rating

It Never Feels Like a Small Bike!

People usually notice the size first, but once you ride the KTM 125 Duke, that's the last thing you think about. The 124.7 cc engine feels eager every time I twist the throttle, and the bike is always fun to ride. The tubeless tyres are another good addition because they make everyday riding a little less stressful. For me, this bike has proved that enjoyment isn't measured in engine size.
