"Buell-like in its appearance."

Came across this thing, I think it looks AMAZING for a 125. I live in the city, so I would honestly love to have a bike like this. I think the new ninja 250s look pretty good, but this bike looks serious, especially with the 43mm USD forks. Same we never get stuff like this in the US.

love KTM

I loved the old Duke II, and I like the newer SMC 625/690, but otherwise I'm not so crazy about a lot of their other bikes. I like the idea, but the designs just aren't doing it for me. There's not much I don't like about this 125 though.

looks pretty fun.

I think all the street bikes ktm makes look killer. Even the old dukes still look futuristic. :)

I just moved up from a 125, certainly wouldnt want to be going back anytime soon, they are fun for a while but then the shear lack of power sets in and they get really boring really quickly!

I had an instructor pass me on the downhill section of VIR on a Mito 125. I was riding a VFR800. I got off and kicked it.
