KTM expands into Malaysia with the 200 Duke
KTM’s Duke-based world domination plans continue apace. Marked by the attendance of the Malaysian Prime Minister, the Austrian brand just launched a new-model Duke in Kuala Lumpur. The KTM 200 Duke will be priced lower than the Kawasaki Ninja 250 and Honda CBR250R in that market and develops 22bhp, a marked upgrade from the 125’s 15bhp. Like the KTM 125 Duke, the 200 uses a fairly advanced s...

KTM gets customization
Check out these LED light strips that integrate neatly into the KTM 125 Duke’s fuel tank. They’re not just some random product in an inches-thick, generic accessories catalog, they’re available in KTM showrooms alongside the motorcycle they’re meant to go on. Since that bike is targeted at restricted license European teenagers, these should work wonders at prying a few extra Euro out of pa...

KTM quietly faces the ugly truth about bikes
KTM is utterly desperate for the youth market. So desperate, in fact, that KTM Nightlight Session is a two minute video that has almost nothing to do with the KTM 125 Duke that the video is supposed to be promoting. If it wasn't for the beginning credits, nobody would guess it's even a KTM project since all of the visible branding in the first half of the video is for pinkpark and Scott. Neither ...

25 high-res action photos of the KTM 125 Duke
While every other bike maker is frightened someone might realize the products they push are fast and dangerous, it looks like KTM is busy embracing the fact that motorcycles are exciting. The 125 Duke is KTM’s attempt to bring Europe’s teenagers into their brand. Creative projects like this one that bring motorcycles together with the skate/action sports aesthetic in an exciting way make a ton...

Motorcycling’s small, foreign future
“The goal will be churning out more than 60,000 bikes a year,” Ducati boss Claudio Domenicali said in an interview with MotoSprint yesterday. “To do this we need to increase our sales in Brazil and India, therefore we will build two factories, one in Brazil and one in Thailand.” Sound familiar? It should. KTM is doing something similar with the 125 Duke and other future models and that’...

KTM plans 250 Duke
According to KTM president Stefan Pierer, the company is developing a 250 or 300cc version of the new KTM 125 Duke and says it should be ready in about 18 months. “We’re working on a 250cc up to 300cc single-cylinder engine, also four valves with twin overhead camshafts,” Pierer told Alan Cathcart. “This has more or less the same external dimensions so we can install it in the existing 125...

Entire 2011 KTM model line up leaks
Oh hey, it’s all the 2011 KTMs, leaked a few days ahead of their official debut at EICMA. There’s only one significant new model, the KTM 350 EXC-F Factory, which is basically a motocross racer with lights that they’ll be dominating enduro with next year, but there’s new colors and minor tweaks for bikes like the 2011 KTM RC8 R too. Like most such things you read on Hell For Leather, we’...

KTM 125 Duke: underage sex
Featuring incredibly strong styling and sexy components like a radial brake caliper and an aluminum swingarm with exposed webbing, the KTM 125 Duke looks more upmarket than most middleweight nakeds available in Europe. It’s not, it’s a learner-legal four-stroke 125 that’ll be restricted to 15bhp, but if you’re 17 and that’s all you can legally ride, then this is the two wheeled equivalen...

KTM 125 Stunt and Race concepts in detail
Two of the biggest surprises at EICMA were these small capacity KTM concepts. We're used to seeing 125s built down to a bargain basement cost, which means they typically look more like Chinese-made toys than they do motorcycles, but these two KTMs eschew cheapness in favor of vibrant colors, strong steel trellis frames and beefy swingarms. We particularly like the contrast between the white fork t...

KTM 125 Stunt and Race concepts preview learner legal performance
Adapting the KTM 690 Stunt concept design language to a European learner legal 125cc package, these two KTMs look seriously appealing for only having 15bhp (the legal limit for L plates). No other info right now, but we hope this means we'll see similar production bikes in the near future, maybe even with big boy engines. You can see the World Premiere at th...

KTM+Bajaj to unveil 2011 125cc streetbikes at EICMA, Dehli motor shows
Photo: KTM Slated as 2011 models to be manufactured in 2010, little is known about the first two small-capacity bikes from the joint venture between KTM and Bajaj Auto LTD. We know both will be liquid-cooled single-cylinder 4-strokes, with the Euro-spec machine to be unveiled at EICMA this coming November and the South Asian-spec bike to be unveiled the following January at the Dehli Motor Show. ...
