If your looking at a KTM125 why not get a 2013 125EXC these things will hit 90mph with the road gearing fitted. Or A Husky WR125 or a Husaberg TE125

MDK · DTR Legend

yes nice looking but hell the second you take a new bike out of the shop it starts loseing value and no doubt its gona hit your wallet hard over time .

but if your stuck on the idea then nothing we say will change your mind .

Ha Ha Ha what an orrible old turd of a sort of KTM trail bike. Now we know why they dont make trail bikes these days, these can not be going up in value surely not. If u want a DT engine buy a DT.

my mates always saying to me its a 300cc thats been sleeved down doyou reckon thats true even possible?

If I was after a brand new 125 I'd for sure get a husqvarna SMS 125, they look sexy as **** they sound lovely and they are fackin quick !

CarlosRexx · Guru

Well I went to see it and I don't like it. They had the 200 and the 390cc one, the 125 one is sold out. Ironically on the way there I saw a duke 125 and it looked slow when he pinned it lol. So that's that idea out the window. Been looking at husqvarna and hussaberg but then I may aswell fix the DT and stick with that.

Ah wellllll

Reef · Guru

Spend the money on your dt mate;) ...those dukes and most other new 125s look nice but there not worth the money, there slow and don't hold there value lol

four stroke?

No thanks.... 250 two smoker road legal. That's me :D

DT-R_bradders · Guru

duke with 300 exc engine cal ??

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

when you get on a nice big 4 stroke rumbling between your leg you'll soon forget the 2 stroke whining

scrimsmustang · DTR Mechanic

KTM XC engine is the best of both worlds MX and Enduro, 250 if like hairy chested cling for dear life power or the 300 if u want low down grunt pulling power

Calum122 · Guru

Single cylinder four strokes and V twins sound SHÍT Toy. End of. Single cylinder two strokes sound completely different. Much better. and V4 Two strokes sound EPIC.

Inline 4 four strokes IMO sound AMAZING!

I had a look at the old GSXR 400 and yeah. Rapid lmao! They were getting slower through the years though. The originals were 59BHP

Nice to see its not just me.

Also I believe Liam will agree with me. He's joined the smokey side :D

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

cal u haveing a laugh my v twin 650 sounds beast better then most il4's out there lmao them gixxer 400s are good bike if they work i have a bandit 400 runs the same engine as the gixxer and runs 58 brake same as my 650 lol the 650 is a chugger thou drinks hardly any fuel sounds beast and is fun in the corners and im on about a road bike offroad bike has to be a 2 stroke but you cant ride a offroad bike onroad for you hole life what's the point in that you have to get a nice 4 stroke road bike at some point

scrimsmustang · DTR Mechanic

You could ride my XC on the road if u fitted road tyres and just wanted to fly round the streets no probs, it shreads rear off road tyres in no time though on tarmac. I would not fancy it on a run though.

Calum122 · Guru

My mum had a Ducati monster 600. Sounded jubby. My uncle has got a 1200 bandit. Sounds shît.

Mum also had a vfr 400 and Kawasaki ninja 900? Both sounded lovely. But almost every two stroke I've heard I've loved.

Also yeah right andyam says his rd is sound with the right maintenance. Would LOVE an rd500 ypvs :D

Yeah to right mate! Had beast 450's and 250f's between the legs and I'm sorry as much fun as they are nothing beats the thrill you get on a 2 smoker!! Like theirs throwing a 4 stroke round a corner and the power being there all the way the through then on a 2t the powers not as much plus not there straight away but when it just kicks in!!! OH MY GOD!!!! Holding on for dear life with the bike screaming its head off! It's just such a thrill and yet so much more physical! You're connected to the bike more in a 2because you have to work it!
