Glance at this motorcycle and you’ll understand two things -

1) It looks like an exact interpretation of a dirt biker’s dream.
2) It won’t be cheap.

This is the KTM-Bajaj 125cc motorcycle that’s heading to the Auto Expo in Delhi next year. Developed by the same team which did the Duke 690, this yet to be named 125cc bike isn’t anywhere near your 125cc commutes on any aspect.

Equipped with Brembo disc brakes, the bikes will use a single cylinder 125cc engine good for 15hp. The engine will be a four valve DOHC (Double Over Head Camshafts) type with liquid cooling and fuel injection, so we don’t expect the cost to be under a lakh of rupees.

Bajaj Auto is planning to introduce Austrian bike manufacturer KTM’s range of products in India in the next two months or probably during the Auto Expo.

Bajaj seems to be very active in this budget performance motorcycle segment. By tying up with Kawasaki and introducing the Kawasaki Ninja 250R, it is getting ready to launch KTM bikes in India.

This should be an encouraging sign for other bike makers to enter India and sell performance motorcycles. Enthusiasts as usual will be delighted to sit and feel these motorcycles from their saddles.

KTM is planning to launch its Duke 690 model which will be followed by models like 990 Superduke and 690 Supermoto. These bikes are expected to be displayed at the 2010 Auto Expo. Apart from launching their bikes in India, KTM is also planning to bring their entire range of bike accessories and riding gear in the country. KTM is also planning to organize motorcycle tours in India which will be a boost to the biking culture in our country.
