2017 KTM 125 Duke TEST RIDE (RAW SOUND & TOP SPEED)

- Test ride of the entry level KTM, the 125 Duke. Apart from the lack of power caused by the small displacement, it's a really fun and easy bike to ride. I felt immediately in control in every condition I faced and had a lot of fun in the corners.

Just brought this exact model to get my bike license with. My dad's got the 690cc and they never disapoint.
just gone one in white mannnnn i cant wait !
Best of luck my friend!
Axe991 thanks :)
Hey how is your bike doing , it may have reached till now 😅❤❤
Nice, I just bought this bike after owning MT-125 since 2016. I'm looking forward to comparing these machines.
I'm really liking this bike, looks fantastic!
TEKKY TWO we all care
but expensive
i just turned 16 and thinking about buyng a 2019 model of the duke, is it worth it or are there a better choice?
The duke is a great bike, although expensive. I’ve not tried other 125 in a long time, but this one handles like a beauty
Im now 18, bought the 2017 model when I was 16. the best decision in my life, my sister is driving it now
I'm gonna buy this bike which colour should I choose tho?

@@etmgs1858 thx!👍🤗
bro in your country duke 125 came with tft and led in 2017 but in india 2020 still halogen lights and old meter
Danke! Alles ist mit Duke 125 ganz verstanden. Ich habe alle Antworte gefunden
Porque le cuesta a mi moto duke 125 pillar la velocidad.
Tengo puesto el escape original akrapovic pero le cuesta mucho coger la velocidad alguien sabe porque como podría aumentarla me pilla 108 kilómetros
Standard Exhaust??
Yeah, it was the stock one
these look like absolute gems to ride except by the time i become 17 im afraid the new models will still be too expensive so everyone pray for the price to come down for 2nd owners lol
Fingers crossed then!
If it's still too expensive, look at a cheaper 2nd hand bike. Maybe the first generation duke? Not much has changed except the looks. You shouldn't spend too much money on a 125, since you'll probably get rid of it in 2 years.
i was thinking the first gen but idk what it is like i have rode one of my friends and they just dont feel right to a new one if you get me, ill probs end up with a varadero or an RC because as you said ill be on my A2 licence after that basically
5 more years till I’m 17
Hussrocks2987 I have definitely been there! I’ve been riding dirtbikes sine I was 9 but I still wanted to go out on public roads so bad! Don’t think of it too much and enjoy your teenage years, you’ll be 17 before you know it. There’s a lot of times that I wish I was 12 again, I could just sit on the couch and game a lot! I didn’t have too much responsibilities. Mom washed my clothes and food was always just there. Enjoy it while it lasts, you’ll miss these times later in life!
Thanks for sharing this. beautiful views btw. 5:51
I was hoping the GoPro would’ve catched more of that view
I'm 16, is it a good idea to wait until 18 and buy duke 390 instead of the 125?
You could get a used bike now and a 390 at 18!
You should buy a Duke now and sell it if you are gonna buy 390 instead. Duke's hold very good in price.
Marco Curcetti get a 390 reg as 125
You can’t get a 390 at 18
@@judedenham5935 in eu as by a2 category regulations
Yes, yes you can
i love this bike duke 125 but i also love r15v3 which bike is good
One is a naked, one is a sport bike. Depends on what you like
Nice road.!
Baby beast
What about the acceleration how quick does it reach 60 mph or 100 kph
Very slowly 😂
Approx ?! I mean being a ktm it has to be some power in it
15 Seconds
0-62mph
You're a very good driver, for how long have you been driving mcs?
Thanks, but what do you mean by mcs?
Axe991 motorcycles
Oh, ok! 😂 12 years now. I started at 14 with a moped and moved my way upwards
Axe991 nice i got myself a moped too when i was 14, drove it until this april because a truck drove into me from the side. im ok but not the moped. im 16 rn and i just signed up to get the a1 license :)
I'm very sorry to hear that... Just last month (june 28) some guy didn't stop at a stop sign and hit me on the side of my brand new Monster 1200. I broke my foot and a friend I had on the bike got 30 stitches. I don't know the condition of the bike because it's evidence in the trial against him.
Can't wait to get my own! Was the DB killer fitted in?
I have to say that it's a very nice little bike. At the time of the video the exhaust was completely stock. DB killer not removable.
Don't buy this bro
@@aravinddileep y
@@guhans18 Bhai itni small cc bike for more than 1.5 lakhs is a waste. For that money you ll get a more practical wali machine. Better go for the 200 or the 250 Duke because when the 125 cc comes... It's not going to come with the display or the styling that you see in this video.
@@aravinddileep hmm got it anna...
Can we off the ABS in 2017 and 2018 models ?
I have to say that I don't know, I'm sorry. Probably you can find info on the KTM website!
Dewashan Vithianandan yes on the 2017 you can turn Abs off.I dont know if you can do it on the 2018 model.
You can switch abs off only after first service but I wouldn't want to
Yes .....you can switch it off in 2018 ....but it has only 95 km/h as its top speed
Why this version is not available in India
In Italy you can ride a 125 when you’re 16. This is why they make it
Realy Goooooood
How, Where... Can i buy this ....
I want to buy this international duke 125 from India,into India... Please help, Give me some suggestions...
I think it’s best if you buy the version available in your country. You would pay an incredible amount of import taxes I think. The 125 is EU specific because in some countries you can ride a 125 when you’re 16
@@Axe991 The 125 here is The same as The 200....
Which saddens me... !!
Nws thanks for the Info....
Hey great driving!
Have you ridden any of its rivals (Yamaha mt125, cb125r...) and if yes, how does this compare in terms of fun?
Also, are the seats comfortable enough for long journeys in the duke?
Thanks!
Hi! I have not ridden any other 125 in the last few years, so I cannot help you on a comparison. What I can tell you is that it's a very easy and fun bike, with a fantastic chassis even when compared with bigger bikes. The seat felt Quite comfortable, but I only used it for about 1 hour.
Axe991 thanks a lot for the info I hope I’ll be able to afford this bike 🏍
Good luck 🍀
You have awesome riding skills. Apart this do you use clutch less gear shifting and clutch less rev matching during this video?
Class? Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean (and thanks for the compliment)
@@Axe991 Sry for spelling mistake. Your gear shifting seems like without pulling clutch lever to changes gear.
Oh ok! Now I understand. Yeah, I almost never use the clutch. It’s faster and easier, and it does not damage the bike if done the right way
How much Mileage?
Is slipper clutch and abs available ???
It has abs
@@nibolap2948 what is abs?
A system that helps to avoid wheel blocking when braking
Axe991 i found out but thanks
How tall are you and how much do you weight?
174cm and 75kg
Axe991 okay, I am 188 cm and weight 82 kg, do you think it will fit me or am i too big?
the owner of the bike is around 180 cm but lighter than me. He rides quite comfortably. 188 is a lot for any 125, but I think the KTM has a lot of space.
Axe991 So do you think it will be pretty okay or a big no no
I think it will be ok, but try to sit on one at the dealer to be sure :)
Was it limited? I mean for 16 year old
It was the standar 125 that you can ride at 16 in Italy
which place is this ? where are you from?
South of Italy!
Can this bike be bought in the United States or just Europe
Hi! I really do not know, you could check on the US KTM website!
This bike isn't for sale on the U.S. market just because there isn't a big market for 125cc motorcycles. You can get a Duke 390 though.
jonasv19 I have to disagree, the HONDA Grom and Kawasaki z125 pro are selling like hot cakes we can’t keep them in stock here in Georgia USA.
Where is this? Germany?
Italy. I don’t think in Germany they have this kind of climate 😂
@@Axe991 There is no Sea in Germany also... ahah
Well, it’s not the same but in the north they do!
Is this any good for the first bike?
I think it is a great choice as a first bike. A nice engine and a really good setup. Easy to ride and fun in the corners!
Axe991 is it worth upgrading the exhaust or leave the standard?
After the video was made, the owner of the bike modified the stock exhaust and removed the db killer. It's an easy and neat work and the sound greatly improves. If you want greater performance you can change all the exhaust system and the ecu to gain around 5-6 hp.
It's my first bike I'm 44 years old 6ft 17 stone and it will do 65 mph, it loosens up a bit after 600 mile first service
No, it's only good for your 11th bike.
Is this pure sound???
Yes
@@Axe991 how this makes backfire?
I did not backfire 🤔
How much the high speed of this bike?
I have another video in which I test the top speed :)
125 milage???
25 parsecs per kiloton
compared to electric bikes this is a snail
And an orange is very different from an apple

It depends on how you ride, but I'd say around 20km/l

I have 2014 duke and it goes easy 1l for 50km
Wow! I think it depends a lot on how you ride. .
Thats true but my duke broke today engine broke really bad the valves hit the piston rip
only 115?
My cousin is a bit lighter and arrived to 121.
I'm 105kg and i was driving 125 km/h . I have the same duke 2017
128 km/h with luck
Price plz
Che your country’s website
Your county prics
Around €5k I think, maybe 6k

ROADS are empty
Himanshu Sakhala great observation

Yeah! @axe991. Link in the description
I have v15... But I am going to get this in 2019
Why this was not in India bcoz ktm think we. Are idiots and they launch old model !!!! Shame on ktm
Can a 6 feet tall man ride this duke125??
The question is not if he can, but if he should. Jokes apart, yeah, you can, it just feels a bit small
390 or 125cc man and price
Read the title, it’s s 125! And the price depends on the country, you can check on the website
Never ever buy 125 unless you have a road like him..
What do you mean? 😂
@@Axe991 i said we made nuclear using this 125...mawla i hria em?
I’m still not understanding. I think something is getting lost in translation
@@Axe991 do you speak korean?
Nope, only Italian and English
What about the mileage Km/L Bro ???
Lol I think 25
@@Axe991 damn 🙁🙁 that's seriously too low for a 125cc bike but yeah its not a regular commuter, but still a man can dream 😂
@@Axe991 really, my last bike was a Duke 250, it gave me near 25/L, I heard the 125 is releasing soon here in India
No Its not possible , it must give around 35-40
125 mileage....... please
Three leagues per pint of fuel
So you gotta keep this machine pinned to the higher rpms otherwise you ain't getting far ahead than a vespa scooter... ☺️
Besides if not obviously from red lining a 125😅
nope. wrong answer ma f
Aravind Dileep this bike isnt ran in, when doing 1000km service it gets so much faster and better acceleration. Also it dosent redline as quickly. The sound also improves greatly when ran in.
The bike was ran in and had more than 1000km. Also, how does it redline slower but accelerate faster, it doesn’t make sense, mechanically speaking
Axe991 When its not done the first service (1000km) it starts blinking at 6000rpm or something. After the service it starts way later. I own a ktm duke 2019 and my dad owns a 300cc vespa. I have more top speed but he has better acceleration due to the motor being almost 3x as large. So if ur talking about a 125cc vespa, then you obv don’t know shit.
Ok, first of all calm down. Secondly, I wasn’t talking about any Vespa. Thirdly, the fact that it redlines lower before the service doesn’t mean you cannot go to higher revs, it just tells you not to. If you have watched the video you can see that I go well over 6k rpm. So you just said a bunch of bullshit 😂 PS: 300 is 2.4x 125, so it’s closer to 2 than 3.
Cost to much for the performance :\
It depends on how you measure performance: if you just consider power output and top speed, then yes; if you consider chassis, suspensions and brakes, then it's a fair price.
What is mileage?
