Spied – KTM Duke 125 in India

After the Bajaj-KTM tie up, it finally looks like the first of the dukes are about to hit the road. The duke 125 recently caught being tested by Motoroids, tells a tale. Even though much of the motorcycle will be localized, the estimated cost still is at a whooping Rs 100,000 to Rs 135,000.

Backed with a modern trellis frame, rear monshock and 43mm upside down front forks, the bike definitely takes away a lot of stares.

All in all, ignoring the fact that it is a 125, the bike is bang for the buck!

Alternatives for the duke are few thanks to the awkward price to displacement relationship. But still Yamaha YZF-R15, Apache RTR 180, Apache RTR 160Fi seem to be the only real competitors.
