KTM CONCEPT 125 SUPERMOTO RACERS

ROUNDUP

2009 Milan Motorcycle Show

Hot-rod small-bore pavement burners

Oh, to be a teenager! At the Milan Show, the Austrian company unveiled a pair of beautifully turned-out and very high-spec mini-supermoto concept bikes powered by 15-horsepower, 125cc four-stroke Singles. The machines are dubbed, simply, “KTM125.”

Concept bikes, yes, but these 125s—one in racing trim, the other in street-legal form—appear ready for production any time KTM’s top management gives the green light. The bikes were built with the intention of offering the younger generation the opportunity to discover the fun of closed-course racing.
