This is the best looking bike I have ever seen for a 125cc bike. It definitely going to stay away from the rest. Common Bajaj launch it in India !!

The KTM 125 Duke is another piece of naked beauty one can admire for hours.<br /><br />@Benny, lets pray that Bajaj also sells these bikes in countries where it is present.. including Indonesia.<br /><br />@Athul, the Mojo will have it real tough as there is also a rumoured Honda 250 cc about to be launched in India. The KTM on the other hand completely stands apart from the rest of the crowd and will have its own fan following.Payenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904144587086282411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167798941970247934.post-38443836720219388152010-10-06T10:05:26.547+05:302010-10-06T10:05:26.547+05:30if its in 1lakh i will sure buy it. if its above 1...if its in 1lakh i will sure buy it. if its above 1lakh i will go for mahindra mojo if its onroad price in 2.2lakh.ATHULhttp://www.hotbike.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167798941970247934.post-2384426240232593702010-10-06T09:39:00.313+05:302010-10-06T09:39:00.313+05:30nice...does Bajaj will produce it in Indonesia?

Compare the rake angle, for example, KTM 125 Duke has a lesser rake angle.<br /><br />Also, it sports under slung exhaust (I commented that the Mojo also should have had the under slung exhaust instead of the 1*2 setup in XBhp), which would help it's torque figures immensely by cleaning up the gases much quicker.<br /><br />Above all... look at the proportions!! Looks like a warrior chick in essentials ;)Sajalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008600027091504649noreply@blogger.com
