I think that the biggest issue with these MT125 is the existence of a new KTM DUKE 125 2024. My previous KTM Duke 125 2018 heroically died from engine failure (50k+ kms), so I’ve got a new one and, KTM reliability aside 😅 (though mine didn’t have any problems until the engine failure ) it’s packed with features: 1) Amazing TFT screen (my previous KTM had a pretty nice one, but the knew one is just gorgeous) / you can see who’s calling, accept/cancel calls / turn by turn navigation 2) Cornering ABS (doesn’t have traction control though) 3) 320mm front breaks disc / braided lines 4) ride-by-wire and assist/slipper clutch + for ~220 eur you can unlock quick shifter+ And I believe in UK there is also a discount for these bikes as here in Spain I was able to grab one for less than 5k EUR
Mine is Mt09 2017 and Mt15 2022, I love motorbike, I bought 2 mt series and not a single complain, before MT15 I took new KTM duke 250 not that fun ride and having a problem at the beginning when it just came from the dealer. The MT125 is also great, I would like to have that one too if only they sell in my country. You already have a good choice on that one, Mt series famously with agile, good looking with strong character, speedy and easy maintenance that is the most important.
i prefer the voge 125r due to the airbox roar and it easily hits 75mph but comes stock with a 55tooth rear sprocket so can easily go faster with a smaller rear sprocket.
@TE_53349 Actually I am struggling to decide between the MT 125 and the Voge R125 at the moment. Going to buy one of them. The voge seems to have a great motor as well but I wonder how acceleration compares between these two. Have you tried both?
@@known8172 yes i have. both feel really really similiar to be honest. only difference is whether you want to brag about having a ktm or have a well put together bike for cheap
@@TE_53349 Thanks for answering. To be honest, I prefer the voge even in terms of looks. For me, acceleration is very important for having fun riding a 125. I´m happy when the voge is pretty close to the MT125. I dont need traction control or anti-hopping clutch in a 125. The MT is nice and all but it is really expensive..
huh only difference between mt 125 and mt 15 ( i used to ride it ) is the dash, prefer this one looks cleaner. Its nice to ride smaller CCs from time to time.
I’m stuck to smaller CCs atm 😂 love my little MT and the dash too is amazing can connect my phone and it’ll tell me what I need to do for maintenance etc it’s very helpful
I have the 2024 ktm duke and the TFT it tells me who is calling me and i can answer the phone or reject the call obviously i have a headset i can connect my music to it aswell so i can play or pause or skip tracks the TFT is great on the dukes
Totally confirm, the duke has probably the best display and features by far. And I really like the optic of it. Unfortunately they made the engine worse in the 2024 model without talking much about it. Acceleration is way slower now. It lost nearly 2 seconds from 0-80 km/h which is around 20% less then 2020-2023 models. But I guess you could do a lot if you adjust the gear ratio if you prefere it with a faster acceleration. Amazing bike in total anyways, have fun with it!
Absolutely whole point of the mt series are to be versatile they aren’t slammed to the bottom of the ground but are a super comfortable ride for all riders I’d say, thanks for stopping by man!
Depends on your situation, if you want speed and have money to spare I hear that the 2 stroke aprilla is the fastest, but 2t will have a higher chance of blowing than a 4t OR, if you just want something to run and save money then getting a used Yamaha is a good way (make sure they have service log books etc) ORRRR if you have the money to spare and want to keep your bike in top condition, get a brand new cheaper one as it’ll have warranty so if anything goes wrong you’ll have free fixes etc and you’ll know everything with what’s happened to the bike!
I would love a Yamaha but I worry if I get a used one even service it could have problems so this is why I’m think I’m just gonna get a cheaper brand just trying to figure out what is the best cheaper brand as it will come with all the warranty
@@Unstoople 😮 wow that’s awesome i been looking at the KTM 125 duke but I have heard the KTM struggles to hit 70 mph think I might buy the MT instead thanks for the fast response 👍 your video has helped me make my decision cheers mate
@@djsmitch the MT has both great torque low range and top speed high range all down to the VVA (variable valve adjustment) which allows for the bike to keep the torque low end and when in the high rpm make it more efficient for top speed! The MT is a masterpiece of a bike! And thank you for stopping by, interactions with the community, such as you, is why I make these videos!!
@@Unstoople sounds like a great way around the limitations of a 125 cc bike and new emissions coming into force get the best of both worlds low down torque and top end speed just come across your channel tonight so I will be subscribing look forward to watching your videos on a regular basis keep up the good work 👍
@@Unstoople thanks, feels bad but it will force me to get out of my safety shell and get a fully manual licence. For now I have learner licence, if I'm happy with 125cc I won't change the bike ever. I live in Europe and they have so many rules and restrictions to get A2 licence. And the top speed you are allowed in our roads is 100khms and police might ignore if 115khms(those are only highway speeds) not sure if this bike will be struggling in highway or small road trips. Need to watch more videos. Sorry for making an essay, my biggest worry is the acceleration speed from 0 - 100, hopefully there is a way to improve it without wrecking the engine 😅
@@constantinosmarinou5605 I know some exhausts can help increase performance of engine because of little things I’m not sure but it can help a little bit, I love my 125 and as fun as big bikes are it’s more than enough for city riding a 125!

@@gegegenogekitaro9048 honestly such a blast to ride and extremely comforting, that’s my favourite part about the MT how comfortable it is!!
love this video basically sold me on this bike pal
Ayyy glad to hear, such a good bike I hope you enjoy 🙌🙌
Thought I was about to see myself at 9:49 but then it skipped. I was just over that bridge the other day 😂
Yea I wasn’t talking then so I took the section out might see me another time though I’m up there frequently getting videos soooo keep an eye out 👀👀
👀😎
Me: *again only realises after you’ve passed me* “DANG IT” 😂
In the next few weeks I’m doing a cbt and I should really be getting a ktm duke but I’m 💯 gonna get one of these
Love that bro, you will absolutely love the MT, I tried a duke and the MT is so torquey compared to the duke. Can’t wait for you!!
I have the 2024 ktm duke 125 and ive had it at 75mph
i prefer the voge 125r due to the airbox roar and it easily hits 75mph but comes stock with a 55tooth rear sprocket so can easily go faster with a smaller rear sprocket.
Ooo, sounds like a very nice bike! I mainly got the MT because I’ve always liked the looks of them!

My mt125 2024 has showed the check engine light a few times too
Hope it’s just a fluke for these bikes… 🤞🤞

great video bro 😎 do you think this is a good bike for shorter riders? thanks man

@@Unstoople i appreciate it man thank you 🙏
I just did 150 miles on mine and still have half a tank left. I think you can do closer to 250-300 on a tank?
Dayum, that’s amazing, maybe it’s 120 miles full throttle! Thanks for the info really appreciate it!
What do you think is a best getting a used named Bike Yamaha Honda Aprilla or getting a brand-new cheaper bike that will come with all the warranty

@@cbates2410 you can always get used bikes with the remaining warranty on, most dealerships will sell used bikes and offer warranty with them
Great video i didint have time to watch all of it but how mamy kilomiters per hours dose it goes? If u said?( how fast is it)
@@JolleDAman roughly 80mph so maybe 100-110kph? Sorry for late reply, didn’t get notification
@@Unstoople no worried thank you for awnsering tho. Alot of kontent creators dont bother to awnser their viewers
@@JolleDAman I get my best to answer as soon as possible, I must of missed the notification, thanks allot for stopping by bro, means allot :)
Can you do your CBT on auto moped and ride 125 bikes?
Yes! That’s what I done :)
What is the top speed can it hit 70 mph?
Hi, I’ve hit 79mph as my max speed currently!!

hello im 6 feet. Will I stay small on it?
There are options to lower or heighten the bike, ask a dealer and they’ll give you info but I reckon you’ll fit perfectly fine!
@@Unstoople thank youu
I’m 6’1 and I have ridden a stock MT-125 a few times, no issues whatsoever
Do they make automatic ones?
They don’t only manual :)
