KTM 125 Duke. Watch this before you buy 

Honestly the first review of it I’ve came across that ain’t Indian 😂

I have to say... I’ve had my duke 125 17 model since October last year, and I’ve used it everyday since. It’s never broke down, and I’ve never had any issues. TBH upgrading from a lexmoto to a KTM, was very different but worth it. This bike is PERFECT for a beginner rider 👌👌👌

in finland u can get the 125 at the age of 16

Food for thought. Even a 58 year old is considering pros and pros of this size! Great vlog.

The fact that KTM DUKE 125 is a very fun motorcycle is well transmitted to here ♪

I saw this review a few weeks ago and really liked it so thanks and now I have just gone out and got a new 2020 Duke 125 and I love it !

Been riding the 2018 one for 2 months now. super smooth and easy to ride straight out of my CBT. The size and bright colours make you alot more visible and it gives you soo much more confidence. I love it time to start browsing the power parts catalog :D

I got the 1290r superduke, and yea Ktm are just frkin awesome.

I'm 25 getting my CBT and this seems like the least silly bike and it's a cool looking bike anyway

It’s crazy, i am interested in doing my cbt and looking at bikes on youtube and to my shock you are starting the video right around the corner from where i live lmao.

There's a lot to be said for having a lower output bike and going everywhere flat out without doing triple figures on the speedo! Arguably more fun than going everywhere on a 150bhp bike at 15% throttle..... Good video and great bike..... Does make you wonder about how much power we actually 'need'. I have great memories of riding my DT125LC, It was a right wheelie machine 😎

Haven’t rode a bike for about 8 years since I got my first 50cc moped at 16 and I’m considering buying a KTM 125 Duke with the reviews and stuff are all good and this video has made me go from 30% to 90% wanting one haha.

Im close to getting one. Possibly a week away. always said i wasnt going to get a 125 but im getting on this, same year as well. Cant wait, looking forward to this review

Came across one of these in Fowler’s a few months back - real looker of a bike and was even more surprised when I discovered it was a 125 !! Was still tempted just as a fun runaround

I'm just trying to get into bike riding and think this has given a great starting point.

Thanks bro for the video. There isn't much video review about this model I was searching n searching for this I have ordered onenice video mate

loved it at age of 66 and not riden for 25 years it my suit my fine

Thanks for the review. It's always helpful for viewers when you tell your height and film yourself from the side with your foot on the peg and flat footed what to expect of the size of the bike.

Getting mine on the 27th so glad that trains aren't going to be a worry anymore

Started watching because Im seriously considering getting a Duke. Then I saw you ride past my house 😂 literally the same route I take to work.

You should have freaked out all the non-local viewers and gone around the magic roundabout :-). Great video, best one on this bike that I've found. Cheers.

Thanks,this helped out a lot as I’m looking to purchase this exact model 👌🏻

Picking mine up next week. I cannot wait after watching this!

I had made my Mind up on this bike from your review thanks!

Got my r125 yzf 2019 2. Of April, still remember the day picking it up at the dealership.

Bought this to get to work when traffic is bad, love it !

dash cam is amazing quality and the sound brilliant

luv the way you said 17 first job,37 years on dole making money. here.im 57

It feels so weird watching a video that starts near where I live. I go to Greenbridge literally almost every weekend.

I'm running on 2 110cc moped and a 125cc which is a moped too.. And this Duke 125 is a bike that I wanted it so badly

Spot on pal. Nice vid very informative. “Having them all” 😂😂👍

Great video, no music, no "what's up RU-vidrs", just a good solid review. Thanks

Thanks mate, this video was really helpful.

Had mine since April it’s been brilliant.

Very good review on the KTM Duke 125! Good you mentioned your inside leg measurement as many of us vertically challenged riders wonder whether they can ride any KTM with confidence. Having been riding for 49 yrs I need to downsize for health reasons but want a fun, quality bike with good handling and ABS. The 125 Duke looks like it will fit the bill perfectly...

Im 15 can't wait to get my first 125cc bike 🙂

I can't wait till I am old enough to ride. I'm 13 and I can't believe that there is only about 3 yrs and 2 months till I'm 17.

Great review, " I'm gonna do him, I'm gonna do all of them!" Ha ha, for the duration of the test ride you were 17 again when being able to overtake a car was such a buzz. Brilliant! Thanks for the review. 👍

great video. easy to watch. i want my duke :) thanks

Had Suzuki gt 250 at the age of 17,did not take test relegated to a 125 now,got the hump.

This bike is so good looking im gonna get it in less than 7 months

I'm getting a 2020 ktm 125 Saturday looking forward to learning gears I had a 50cc moped for a year and a half

God bless you brother your a good fella...

We need this one. 🇵🇭

I currently have a 50cc and I love it but when its my 16th bday I want one of thoose

I'm 55 just bought brand new 20002 Duke sat in my van watching this video waiting for fawlers to email my reg and when it's ready

I've been driving for almost 2 years but definitely interested in bikes too and this is my first choice, not to mention can probably afford insurance unlike what they charge you for cars :)

Awesome video. Thank you.

This motorcycle is a piece of art from KTM.

Great video 👍 what do you rate it compared to the Kawasaki z125 or ninja 125 ?

Love the review of the bike, its very informative and both the filming and audio quality are spot on. Your pleasant and positive attitude comes across very well. However I don't agree with you encouraging 17 year old kids who have just left school and landed their first jobs to get themselves in debt and saddled with finance agreements. Unfortunaly employment at this young age is not the most stable or secure environment. It's sad, but most kids will not be in the same job in 3 years time! Have you ever wondered why there are so many nearly new 125's for sale, 2 to 12 months old with hardly any miles on the clock? Most of these are finance company repossessions, from young kids who's jobs haven't worked out for them. They find themselves in a position where they are unable to make the repayments for the bike and also the huge insurance premiums that young riders are faced with. They consequently have their bikes taken away and end up credit blacklisted with a massive debt around their necks, (Or their parents, if they stood as guarantors for the loan). Its not the best lesson in the world to teach the next generation of teenagers, fresh out of school with the whole world in front of them is it? Save up and buy one when you can afford it! Start off with an older cheaper bike first, which you can easily afford, and easily sell on if you find yourself in financial difficulties. As a learner you'll probably put a few scratches and scrapes on your first bike too, so an older bike is a more sensible option when you're starting out. The insurance will be much cheaper too! I'm not taking anything away from your review of the bike, as I previously said, it's a brilliant and very professionally presented review. However I just don't think it's such a good idea to encourage kids to get into debt. There's enough temptation out there from the huge loan companies, banks and retail corporations... without RU-vid reviewers influencing people to get themselves into debt.

Great review 👏👏👏

Really good review. I watched this before going for the test ride and after having just tested ktm duke 125 2021 and it's bigger sibling the duke 390 2021 in France, I was better informed by this video and knew what to look for haha. I explored the TFT display. I'm 23, 5'8 and used to ride a 100cc bike two years back. I think 390 offers wayy to much power for my needs. I just need an alternative to taking the bus for work daily. I think a 125 is perfect for commute and if required capable of reaching 90-110 kmph on the autoroute when required to go out of town haha.

got the 2017 version within a month had a battery issue(bad batch apparently) within 6 months had oil pressure sensor fault(apparently common fault in KTM bikes) but on balance love this bike superb 125 as my daily commute bike and in town runaround bike for long distance I use my 2014 VFR800F for my tours and long distance rides.

Swindon ladddd :) same here, I want one of these too

Great video!

Good informative video, nice bike.

This is in Swindon? So weird how I came across this

Is it worth to buy i wil be turning 18 years old in april 2019 and is it worth to spend the money on this bike as my first ever bike

Hello! I’m only 5’4 , I have a lexmoto lxr 125 and it’s way too big for me so I’m having to sell it. Do you reckon this would be a good bike for me to ride. I struggled with moving the lexmoto because it was so heavy.

What would you choose between this KTM 125 or a Lexmoto LXS 125 ?

Hi bro could tell me what should I buy yamaha MT 125 or 125 KTM Duke please let me know ??

Price of this bike? In my country the 250 duke gets same frame but no LeD lamp/TFT/ABS

If you want a bit more zip outta the baby duke stick a 50 tooth sprocket on the back takes a bit off top end but it gets there a lot faster

In sweden you Can driva a 50cc bike at the age of 15 With a AM drivers licenses, a 125cc boka At the age of 16 with a A1 drivers license, a 400cc bike At the age of 18 with a A2 drivers license and a whatever bike At the age of 24 or if you have had the A2 license for two years so then 20 years old. And keep in mind you can only get a drivers license for a car at age 18 in Sweden so I know this is complicated but it’s cool that you can do it

My DT125 was stolen and I was hoping to get it in road this summer, I’m thinking of getting one of these. How does it compare to a DT? Any idea? Appreciate it! X

great review

I'm new to biking world and I purely want to use the bike for round trip purposes only, using calimoto round trips can I do it on 125 cc our on ktm 125 duke ???

Much would be the insurance on one of those at age 33 I'm sitting my cbt tomorrow and would love to own one of these

LOL "that might be a 250, he might have me"

Great guy 👌👍

Man where are you driving in this video??? This place is like driving on forza horizon 4😂

Great Vlog mate!!

What about sound of the bike is it loud

Considering one for commuting...It looks way better than the Honda XR

If you've got the money probably buy one, any from the big Japanese manufacturers are great too, excellent even

Make a video on how to ride a bike

How about a review of the Sinnis Terrain 125

how are the tyres in the rain?

I love the looks and specs of it... I am looking at 125cc bikes that I will buy soon... Is would you recommend the bike? Also I am only 5’3 is that gonna be a worry? 🙈

I had a 125 ATVs and there is a screw you loosen to let in more gas for more power

Isit too small for a 6'2 man? Thanks

My height is 1.58 cm im a girl is it possible to ride this ktm bike or its too tall and dangerous for me?

What's the price range of Duke 125?

I’m thinking about buying one and I’m in Wiltshire to

When was launched in India please tell me brother

If You have a height of 70kg and a height of 170cm - and You want just to ride around the city, or neighborhoods - you'd enjoy it. For bigger guys, longer travel and to pass cars, You need 350...400ccm at least. If with passengers - more, 650ccm might start to be enough. I rode this duke for a whole day because I have only B category and practicing for A - I could do what I want and go everywhere, but the acceleration... it is fair, but not confident. I liked the stability and feel of a real motorbike on it because many 125 feel like mopeds, narrow, small, etc. I liked the look - I had a great time anyway. Reliable little friend.

Doea it have a dual abs?

rlly good video

I think its a perfect bike for riding around town. Obviously not for the highway or racing. But fun as hell!

I'm 48 years old and have had everything from a sedate pan European to a fun fun fun R6. But I'm looking for a little commuter for a 40 mile round trip to work (half of it less that 40mph limits) I am torn between the MT125 Yam and this little beauty. Thanks so much for posting this. Makes a change to see a proper British video of these bikes.

I’m debating whether to get this or 125cc scooter?

Amazing

Hi, I’m 6’4, is this bike too small for me?

I'm 5'7 and do i need to lower it if i bought it?do you find it hard to stand at stop lights?the 125cc seem my kind of bike since i only drive at a max of 70-80kph.i even looking for a 50cc for my daily use going to my work.hehe

Hey Kaiser, Thanks for the video.. I'm thinking of buying a second hand 2018 model. it looks oks and drives perfectly. but has 10,000 km on it... would it be good idea to buy? or its too much? I would appreciate if you could advice on this

I am going to buy the model of 2022 but i going to instal a short license plate holder when i got the bike bcs the long one is ugly

How much did you get the bike for?

I own 1 of these and its Amazing
