    Uhh ya my post was a bit funny Sorry for that. But what i said was from the perspective of power output & NOT VFM. Just think about it. A bike nearly 100cc less than the p220 is producing a power nearly equivalent it (read the post i had quoted). Although the pricing might be high it wont be affecting the sales. This is proven by R15, fazer,etc .

    BTW i didnt said that the bike would eat into the sales of p220. Competition doesnt only mean in terms of sales figures.

        Yet to be launched Indian version of the bike comes with a facility to replace engine with a higher capacity and powerful one, this is an added advantage if you are not satisfied with the power of the bike.

          It won't and you can mark my words for that. The 125cc, 15ps is specifically made for European markets because of the regulation present there.

                i think the permissible limit for a 125 is 15 bhp. this ktm will definitely be no competition for an r15. if it is made available at 1000k. then my opinion would be to go for the r15. this bike wont be hitting 140s for sure. right?
                superbikes are the biggest blunders on indian roads.

                  Just eager to know who has set the limit of 15bhp for 125cc ?

                      Just a useless FYI, the KaTooMs were never about the BHP it makes, its about the torque that it generates in the low RPMs which gives it a mad-mad-mad rush! Having ridden the bike for a short while in singapore (lol without a license) I can vouch most of us will lack the balls to try and take it its topspeed, thanks to the kind of power delivery it has.. Its only us who are so obsessed with BHPee!

                        The lawmakers in a few European countries (where the KTM 125 Duke is targetted at).

                        Actually its 15Ps for a 125 cc.

                          Just a correction in the info above. its 33 bhps restriction for leaners riding 125 cc bikes/mopeds in UK. A 21+ can take a DAS (Direct Access Scheme) test on a <46.6 bhp bike and if he passes he can ride any kind of bikes.

                          Addition info:

                          And from 2013, whole EU will have single driving licensing system.

                              Correct me if I am wrong but according to what I know:


                              1. Most European Countries have motorcycle laws which restrict riders from the age of 16-18 to ride motorcycles with maximum of 125 cc engine capacity and producing not more than 11 Kw/14.75 bhp/15PS (Like the Yamaha YZF R125)

                              2. Anyone who has a 4 wheeler driving license can ride a 125 cc motorcycle without a motorcycle riding license.

                              3. For a motorcycle rider between the age of 18-21 there is no restriction in engine cc but restricted to ride a bike not producing not more than 25 Kw or 33.5 bhp (Kawasaki Ninja's territory).

                              4. Above 21 years old, a rider can ride motorcycles of any capacity and power but have to undergo a practical test by riding a bike at least 33.5 bhp or above.

                              Pulsater, any info on what would be the rules of this unified EU driving licensing (from 2013)?


                              By the way, what happened to NowBikers.Com?
