Sooooooooooooooooooooo let's broaden the spectrum a little bit.....................................
A KTM EXC Vs an Aprilia MX 125, which one is quicker ???
And we'll level the playing field with the EXC converted to SuMo trim, both with the same gearing, which one will win ???

to be honest there all 125's chuck a can of beans down your throat and fart to the finish
if your after speed and acceleration get a bigger bike I personally am not a fan of picking a bike based on numbers especially when there only gonna be like 2 mph difference it's not about what the bike can do its what you can do -
@ninja Yeah it's a tad unfair. Again, the Aprilia is a production road bike. The EXC is a competition bike.
Although the Aprilia does use the Competition Rotax 122 engine. It is a Go Kart engine. And it is brilliant, just not that brilliant in stock trim. 26 ponies derestricted I believe.

@ninja There are other factors that determine this for me.
Mint cojdition MX 1800 pounds. Mint condition exc....considerably more.
For the extra dough you could have a much more unique, tractable bike if you went with the Aprilia.
Numbers aren't everything, but if you play top trumps I think the aprilia has more going for tit. Availability of parts, the tuning potential. The room for improvement, the list goes on.
If I wasn't interested in tuning, and had the money, I would get an exc. But I am and I don't so the aprilia gets my vote.

@ninja Surely the Aprilia has better top end. A drag race hardly seems fair.
To be fair, way back when, I was out with my brother.
I was on my DT, my brother was on his RS.
We came across a KTM and he absolutely decimated it. But there's nothing to say that the KTM wasn't about to give up the ghost.

@ninja said in Dt170 vs ktm exc 125:
this one is a crap comparison the RS with no rave valve feels like it has no balls till its going I like the DT pinned but the RS pinned nooo way its crap

@calum I would prefer the controller to be honest but I when my blade broke I pinned mine it lasted a few days before I was fed up with it like that and released it closed again I would rather be stuck to 80mph than put up with a gutless bike
