Not available in the US (afaik)

The early model concepts looked alot like a Buell blast. I had a blast. 'twas awesome.
>:( why are all the good bikes not in the US???
There is a FB link on the KTMUSA site that leads to the 125duke..... they are atleast willing to share the info...
Looks cool but would suck if you have to do anything at freeway speeds on your commute.
I Like it but i still want something more supermoto-ish. Maybe I'll find a used 125 dirt bike and make the conversion.

have fun at freeway speeds...... if you ever get there
too bad it's not a 2 stroke
I agree completely He Man. The minute I saw it on the web I went to the KTM dealer and told him I want first dibs and have deposit ready. He said he'll know more in late August but believes it may be this coming year. I can only hope.

Do you think that with the rising cost of gas that we might start to see more 125's or 250's here in the States?
I love the looks of that KTM, but I'm 50/50 on the rims.

Possibly down the road, who knows.
If you were able to get your hands on that bike (that one was a show bike) you could
change the wheels, but you might want a headlight as well. :D
swing and a miss
I too love the looks of the bike, me & a few of my friends are all ready to throw down a deposit if KTM brings them over. I have heard if it comes to the US it would get either a 250 or 300 engine.
put their 450 MX engine in it and I'd be very interested
for what i need freeway isnt that much of a concern. i just wont have the power to get away from cars. :( which is not cool, but i can change my riding style to suit.
