KTM 125 Duke preview pics

The KTM 125 Duke will have its official presentation today at the 2010 Intermot show, and here we can see preview pics of the production version of the KTM 125 prototype for 16-year-olds.
Envious? We certainly are – to be 16 again! The new 125 Duke is the fruit of collaboration between KTM and Bajaj and the bike should appear right across Asia, South America and Europe.

It could be a little saviour in a time of crisis, particularly on the European market.
The 125 Duke style is impeccable – modern and perfectly in proportion for a 125cc bike.
The chassis is a tubular trellis housing a single cylinder engine which will be available in larger versions in the future, up to 350cc.
The front of the bike would seem to come in two different versions and leaves us a little confused, although its designed to distinguish the sports Duke from the standard one.
The sports Duke in fact has lower handle bars and a seat for one.
Another unusual design element is the choice of colours – black, green and purple – which seem more fitting for a 1990’s Honda than a 2011 125cc KTM naked.

It looks like the company’s got the urban-enduro mix down pat though, and so we’ll wait for more high-res pics from today’s Intermot show.
