Purpose	A nimble entry-level naked built for city commuting, learning throttle and cornering skills, and fun back-road blasts.

Character	A sharp, playful single-cylinder streetfighter that punches above its 15 PS with aggressive KTM styling and eager, flickable handling.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders wanting highway speed, two-up touring, or off-road duty; the modest 125cc output limits sustained fast cruising.

At 830mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2018 KTM 125 Duke, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.
