The designers at KTM take every motorcycle they build very seriously – from
the small 50cc cross bikes for kids to the 1,190cc Superbike. That’s why
this 125 is no poor imitation that looks like a big bike, with chopstick-thin fork
tubes and tyres as narrow as cutting discs. The 125 Duke is a real KTM with
great road-holding, wide tyres and components that withstand even the
toughest of stunts. That’s what they say at KTM. We’ll take them at their word
and try it out for ourselves. Today is Sunday. We have the whole day to turn the
city into our own big 125 Duke skate park.
We are travelling on what is currently one of the best and quickest means of transport around town: the 125 Duke.
Today the city belongs to us.

12. On the outskirts of town, there’s a ramp. A wall ride is
possible, surely. Time for an “I dare you!”
This ramp is a reminder of every cliff when boarding: it
just has to be possible. We’ve been here so often already
and talked and talked and talked about it, that a wall
ride “has to be possible” here. But the talking is over
now, because Andreu has simply gone for it and com-
pleted the wall ride. According to the unwritten rules of
the group, this means that we all at least have to try it
ourselves.
Robert analyses it. Julien doesn’t dare. Robert is spurred
on by ambition. He approaches it at great speed and
almost jumps over the wall. Safely back on the ground,
he makes out that’s what he planned to do anyway –
intentional.
Then it’s Denise’s turn – and she nails the wall ride at
the first attempt. We all look at Julien. Julien looks at
his shoes as if they were highly interesting. Suddenly,
it clicks – you can almost hear it. He swings himself
onto his 125 Duke and rides at the wall even faster than
Robert ...
