Webike's Opinion

Here is a "KTM 125 DUKE" custom by Webike community user "TAKI". This is the owner’s third DUKE. Having previously ridden the 690 DUKE and 250 DUKE, the reason he chose yet another DUKE is the strikingly unique KISKA design. KISKA is an Austrian product design company that, in addition to KTMs, is responsible for the design of a wide range of products, from Husqvarna Motorcycles to everyday items, and even industrial machinery. KTM has partnered with KISKA and entrusted them with its branding. Due to certain circumstances, the owner needed to switch to a bike with an engine displacement of 125cc or less, and he chose the 125 DUKE as the best option among the available choices, thanks to its outstanding design.

The aggressively styled bike is further enhanced by the compact and sporty YOSHIMURA Slip-On R-11 Cyclone Exhaust, originally designed for the CBR250RR. The silencer end is made of lightweight, high-strength dry carbon, giving it a premium feel. The exhaust also delivers a deep, powerful sound that boosts the rider’s experience. For mirrors, the owner selected the highly functional TANAX Shark Mirror 4, which reduces glare from intense lights, making night riding more comfortable. The wide-angle mirror design also offers a broad field of view, making it easier to check behind.

At the rear of the motorcycle, a ZETA Protection License Plate Holder was installed to protect the license plate from vibrations and impacts. True to ZETA’s reputation for off-road products, the holder includes rubber washers on the nuts to prevent vibration and loosening, adding to its appeal. The owner also added a KTM POWER PARTS Graphic Kit, giving the bike an exterior that fits his personal style.

A year after the purchase, he confidently calls the DUKE the ultimate bike. It’s clear that riding a bike with a design he truly loves plays a major role in his daily happiness.
