My first bike was a KTM 200 Duke. Quick, sporty, and a little bit of a troublemaker, I was hooked. Then a friend rolled up on his new RC 200, and I figured, “Same thing with some extra bodywork, how different could it be?”
Turns out, very. KTM had done more than just add a fairing, and that transformation was clear in their newest, smallest RC at the time — the RC 125.
