Modding is half the fun! Start with some protection bits and maybe a slip-on. It’s a good way to figure out your bike.

If you ask me, that’s wasting money. The 125 will soon be outgrown by you. Your cash is better spent on a 390 or bigger.

Depends on your goals. If you're restricted to a 125 and you can't upgrade, hell yeah, mod it; make it yours!

I say mod it. You’ll learn some skills that will always be valuable, and you’ll have more fun even if you move to a bigger bike later.

The 125 is honestly pretty good stock. I’d probably do some ergonomic mods for comfort but not go crazy with performance mods.

Why not both? Save for a bigger bike and mod the 125. Just tweak the small one and you'll appreciate the bigger bike more.

Modding is a slippery slope. Before you know it, you’ve blown enough to buy a 390. Ask me how I know...

I would focus on mods that you can transfer to your next bike (like good luggage systems or a good navigation setup). Best of both worlds.
How well does the KTM 125 Adventure do in the urban environment compared to regular 125cc bikes?

A bit too tall for city use, but it allows you to have a great view over traffic. It also soaks up potholes like a champ.

Commuting on it is more comfortable than my friend's CB125R. It has the upright position and wider bars, which make filtering a breeze.

To be honest, it's overkill for the city's use alone. You could probably get away with a standard 125 or even a scooter. But it sure looks cooler!

The Adventure excels when your commute is filled with some less civilized roads or when you have to hop a curb. It's an urban Swiss Army knife.

At first, I thought so too, but the light weight and tight turning circle make it surprisingly nimble turning around in the city. No regrets here.

I've tried some other 125s, and it's thirstier than them. However, that bigger front wheel and beefier construction all add weight. But it's not a dealbreaker.

It's not the best choice at all for pure city use. It’s hard to beat for a bike that can do city and weekend adventures.

It's great for city roads because of the extra suspension travel. Speed bumps make my mate wince on his street bike, but I laugh.
Is the KTM 125 Adventure a long-distance tourer?
15 January 2025 06:48
No way, man. The 125 is a great little thing to zip around town on, but it's going to struggle on long trips. On highways you’ll be revving the nuts off it just to keep up.

In fact, I have ridden around the Black Hills on my 125 Adventure on a couple of weekend tours. Managing expectations is all it’s about. No, it's not a speed demon, but it's comfortable and sips fuel like crazy. Perfect for budget touring!

I think that would depend on where you're touring. Backroads and scenic routes? Hell yeah! Interstate highways? You're going to have a bad time.

But, hey, any bike can tour if you want it enough. The 125 is not ideal, but having made a few mods to take some luggage as well as being in a relaxed attitude, it could be a fun challenge.
