The Race Competition series full-fairing street legal supersports machine, KTM RC125, has been launched in its homegrown Linz, Austria.
It is based from the Duke 125 which is a popular entry level beginner bike in Europe and some parts of the world.
It got all the sweet parts including the WP-Suspension 43mm USD front fork derived from RC8 R, ByBre 300mm brake system and iconic orange lightweight Trellis frame.
Producing 15hp, it can be said to be one of the powerful 4-stroke DOHC engine for a single-cylinder production bike. Compared to the 2-stroke Y125Z at 17hp, this RC125 is only 2hp less. But to compare 2-stroke and 4-stroke is silly since the have different characteristic and riding style.
Bearing dry weight of 135kg, this can make it a great track bike and at the same time can be ride for a long distances since it carries 10 liter of fuel.
The riders in Malaysia will not see this bike coming, but we will get the KTM RC200 and RC390 this October. That’s good.
