Duke 125 Top KTM in Italy

[ToraTora]

Pretty amazing how well the Duke 125 did in sales last year in Italy compared to all of the other KTM bikes. Too bad they refuse to sell these bikes in the States. They probably would sell more here than they do in Italy--small penis disease not with standing.

300 is about as small as you can go and still ride on the interstate. A 125 would be fine in town but sketchy on highways and freeways or even 50+ MPH back roads.

I have a Grom that is a 125 and tops out at 51-53 MPH and if you are on a road with a speed limit greater than about 40 you are holding up traffic. I don't like the feeling of not having any power in reserve at the speed limit.

A 125 is a lot of fun but very limited in use.

the numbers on that RC125 show to be about 15hp which is almost twice what the GROM is though. torque seems to be comparable to the GROM. Im sure it will do more than 50 or 60 mph although for highway use of course I would like to see it able to do 80 ot 90 at least.
