Over priced bike

Kokz
Buying experience after buying this bike is that I regret it because at this price I could have bought a better bike like MT or V3 or NS 200 or RS 200 what ever 125 Duke or RC, they should lower the price then only the 125cc ktm will sell a lot. If not the duke or RC125 wont be selling much because people will go for MT 15 or other bikes.

Low cc with high price. Duke and RC125 should lower the price for 200 and above. It's okay but for 125 cc its too much and also doesn't give the satisfaction.

The Baby duke- experience
3 years ago
Vaibhav Gupta
The journey started when i saw an ad on Bikewale stating, 95% financing available on duke 125. I visited the PR Motors, and enquired about the bike and scheme. I had a test drive for duke 125 as well as duke 200. I finalized the duke 125 because of lesser power but great braking and handling proportionately with respect to the latter. Also, for city traffic conditions, duke 125 was more than sufficient. Bought the bike same day 13 Oct 2019 and took it home. There was a huge problem with the registration because of dealer's response. It took 2 months to get RTO registration done that too when i was asked to buy a registration number to speed up the process. I was fed up by then and bought one fancy number. Anyways, I got my bike registered and then a wait for high security number plate started. Two weeks later, this baby duke hit the road officially and went for a 520 km ride to Ghaziabad from Lucknow. Met with an accident in Ghaziabad due to a speedbraker, (this went 50-0 kmph in seconds but an uncle enjoying tailgating couldn't control his splendor while riding Hero splendor) and crashed. Thankfully, several body parts of duke 125 broke but mine were intact and credit goes to designers who gave that thought to have softer parts which shall break with a sudden impact to save the bones of rider.Next day, I visited service center in Noida to get it repaired and ready for return journey to Lucknow. Parts were readily available, got it repaired and started my return journey. After 100 kms on Yamuna expressway, rear tyre damaged got puncture with a bolt which forced me to take an exit, ending getting a tube inserted for rest of the journey. Since it doesn't have provision for double stand, extracting rear tyre is a task in itself. However, I resumed my journey and had a mileage of around 55 km/l in that trip while cruising at 70-80 km/h.I use this bike for everyday life and weekend rides. It's fun to ride, great handling and balance. Great mileage on highways but 32-34 km/l in city. Engine oil has to be changed every 5,000 km and chain lube is required for every 500 km ride. It's upside strand for riding position is great for fun commute. Pure engineering, reliable parts and a product of design excellence. Hugely overpriced in it's segment and underpowered when compared to bikes in similar price group. Overall, a good companion for college students, weekend travellers and explorers.

Tips for other riders
Consider this bike If you are looking for comfort and luxury in this power segment, this is best available bike in country in terms of value for money. Your life is precious and this bike is an engineering marvel whether it's the body parts, power to brake ratio, handling, suspension or aerodynamics. Don't consider it if you're looking for just power primarily.

Low quality bike
3 years ago
Ravi
Bad engine quality, does not last for years. Particularly it can't withstand for small accidents and the chassis quality is so weak that it can't be used on worst terrains, and the roads with pot wholes. It's engine also will not last more than 40000 km. Initially one can enjoy it's ride, slowly one can understand it's inferior quality.

Ktm is amazing

Sarip Mia
Ktm is amazing company, they made some superb machines, I personally own a duke 125 and I am a fresher. The way showroom owner guided me is just amazing. Riding experience as a fresher rider I will say it's a perfect beginners bike. There are many more powerful machine but as a regular college student and weekly tourer this bike is a soul mate. As for servicing are pocket-friendly than royal enfield sure and very competitive to other rivals in this price range but require regular maintenance.

It is an awesome bike and it was something. In all roads it is so much better than all bike's. But this bike price is very much on the higher side. I promise this bike is best bike in the world

Over priced bike
3 years ago
Kokz
Buying experience after buying this bike is that I regret it because at this price I could have bought a better bike like MT or V3 or NS 200 or RS 200 what ever 125 Duke or RC, they should lower the price then only the 125cc ktm will sell a lot. If not the duke or RC125 wont be selling much because people will go for MT 15 or other bikes.

Low cc with high price. Duke and RC125 should lower the price for 200 and above. It's okay but for 125 cc its too much and also doesn't give the satisfaction.

The Baby duke- experience
3 years ago
Vaibhav Gupta
The journey started when i saw an ad on Bikewale stating, 95% financing available on duke 125. I visited the PR Motors, and enquired about the bike and scheme. I had a test drive for duke 125 as well as duke 200. I finalized the duke 125 because of lesser power but great braking and handling proportionately with respect to the latter. Also, for city traffic conditions, duke 125 was more than sufficient. Bought the bike same day 13 Oct 2019 and took it home. There was a huge problem with the registration because of dealer's response. It took 2 months to get RTO registration done that too when i was asked to buy a registration number to speed up the process. I was fed up by then and bought one fancy number. Anyways, I got my bike registered and then a wait for high security number plate started. Two weeks later, this baby duke hit the road officially and went for a 520 km ride to Ghaziabad from Lucknow. Met with an accident in Ghaziabad due to a speedbraker, (this went 50-0 kmph in seconds but an uncle enjoying tailgating couldn't control his splendor while riding Hero splendor) and crashed. Thankfully, several body parts of duke 125 broke but mine were intact and credit goes to designers who gave that thought to have softer parts which shall break with a sudden impact to save the bones of rider.Next day, I visited service center in Noida to get it repaired and ready for return journey to Lucknow. Parts were readily available, got it repaired and started my return journey. After 100 kms on Yamuna expressway, rear tyre damaged got puncture with a bolt which forced me to take an exit, ending getting a tube inserted for rest of the journey. Since it doesn't have provision for double stand, extracting rear tyre is a task in itself. However, I resumed my journey and had a mileage of around 55 km/l in that trip while cruising at 70-80 km/h.I use this bike for everyday life and weekend rides. It's fun to ride, great handling and balance. Great mileage on highways but 32-34 km/l in city. Engine oil has to be changed every 5,000 km and chain lube is required for every 500 km ride. It's upside strand for riding position is great for fun commute. Pure engineering, reliable parts and a product of design excellence. Hugely overpriced in it's segment and underpowered when compared to bikes in similar price group. Overall, a good companion for college students, weekend travellers and explorers.

Tips for other riders
Consider this bike If you are looking for comfort and luxury in this power segment, this is best available bike in country in terms of value for money. Your life is precious and this bike is an engineering marvel whether it's the body parts, power to brake ratio, handling, suspension or aerodynamics. Don't consider it if you're looking for just power primarily.

Low quality bike
3 years ago
Ravi
Bad engine quality, does not last for years. Particularly it can't withstand for small accidents and the chassis quality is so weak that it can't be used on worst terrains, and the roads with pot wholes. It's engine also will not last more than 40000 km. Initially one can enjoy it's ride, slowly one can understand it's inferior quality.

Ktm is amazing
3 years ago
Sarip Mia
Ktm is amazing company, they made some superb machines, I personally own a duke 125 and I am a fresher. The way showroom owner guided me is just amazing. Riding experience as a fresher rider I will say it's a perfect beginners bike. There are many more powerful machine but as a regular college student and weekly tourer this bike is a soul mate. As for servicing are pocket-friendly than royal enfield sure and very competitive to other rivals in this price range but require regular maintenance.
