no freakin' idea man. ktm just unveiled this baby. i'd expect it to be no cheaper than an rs125.

[DArchitect]

It sure be a hit! Esp if its a 4stroke and hope it have an eledon'tctric start. Love my old KTM 200. Wonder why they make 125 instead of the 200cc version

[Man Donut]

its european. targeted at european youths who cannot legally ride anything above 125cc. same reason why europe makes Aprilia RS125, Yamaha YZF R-125 and Honda CBR125. all for the youth segment.

[Jerrcik]

Actually, it should cost a minimum of 15 to 18 k region (Includes COE, Tax, Insurance). Its not really that unafforable. If you want it, work for it.

[Quincy]

foo-yoo!!! nice!!!

any idea wats the bike on the right? Looks nice!!! even for a 125...

http://www.125duke.com/uploads/tx_sfiarticle/1Y7I5637_01.jpg

 

but yeah i guess the price won't go easy on the wallet... if i remember correctly my bro bought his KTM 200 brand new at nearing 20K & that was donkey yrs back.

 

So guess with nice outlook, price increment & blah blah, can expect a 20K for this babe...

[deckard]

[e.annnnn]

If i'm not wrong, this is an India made bike. So wouldn't be that pricey! Think yamaha R15

Finally officially debuted at Intermot, KTM took the wraps off its 2011 KTM 125 Duke, a single-cylinder street bike geared towards young riders. While KTM has always included off-road machines in its line-up that are aimed at getting younger riders to ride orange, the company until now has left a gapping hole in its on-road offering for the same demographic. With Bajaj taking a 35% stake in KTM, the Indian company has not only given the Austrian company the capital it needed to expand its line, but is also rumored to be the major driving force behind the 2011 KTM 125 Duke.

 

The 124.7cc single-cylinder is an all-new power plant for KTM. Four-strokes and four-valves, the 2011 KTM 125 Duke also has a dual-overhead cam, balancer shaft, liquid cooling, and fuel injection. Built with the tiered-European licensing structure in-mind, the 125 Duke makes only 15hp, and can be ridden by youths in the EU.

 

With production taking place in Bajaj’s Chakan plant, the Indian company is being credited behind the scenes for developing the 2011 KTM 125 Duke. Beyond being sold to European youngsters, the KTM 125 Duke will be sold through Bajaj’s presense in developing markets like Latin America, Africa, аnԁ Southeast Asia. There’s rumors of a 250cc version in the works, which we think would be ideal for the American market.

 

True to its two concept form which we saw at EICMA last year, the 2011 KTM 125 Duke comes in the orange “race” version, or the 1980′s Huffy Bike inspired balck “stunt” version trimmed in aquamarine and purple graphics. You know how riders love the 1980′s, a decade they weren’t around for.

[e.annnnn]

Yeah, great. Actually India makes good fuel saving bikes. The R15 has been a pretty big hit in Singapore and i think this new KTM would be a big hit too.

[quikslvr]

Japanese manufacturers should produce more cool looking bikes like this.

Aiyah, The japs have lost their touch with consumers already lah.

 

Not like the 80s and early 90s. They still listern and care for consumers back then

[SlowButSteady Bro]

Jap now interested in making bike bikes only...Thai and Malaysia should catch up,In fact in early 90s Malaysia with its iconic TZM150 which is a bore up 125cc engine.Thai with its Kawasaki KR @ current ZX150RR.Powerful than a 125cc sport bike itself

[mild_slevin]

so we be expecting another under powered yet heavily price bike? Again touch my heart, the first look is a killer!

Seriously, the head lamp and wing mirror are nice... if India keep producing bike with such caliber sooner or later Honda/Yamaha/Suzuki might face trouble le...

Actually I think It's a pretty decent bike. 15HP(restricted for euro), 120+Kg weight.

 

Also read report that they may do a non restricted for other market.

 

KTM 125 Duke = Decent powered conti bling bling bike. SAme class as yamaha 125R.

 

But if we can get the non power cut model. Chances by some hardware and ecu. I think It will be better than the yamaha 125r
