Dt170 vs ktm exc 125

@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

Well this is an interesting video;

Husqvarna Husaberg TM 125 they will a piss all over a DTR, The fastest 125 trail bike I have come across by far is the Honda CRM that makes a DTR seem like a 50 lol with or without a 170 kit or a WR200 engine the CRM will piss all over a DTR200 or WR200 once derestricted.
-
They bought my TSR aswell, also better than a DTR in my opinion, handle better 10 times better brakes and suspension but cant touch the CRM lol
-
@scrimsmustang Lol. I believe it coming from you. If anyone else said it I'd have thought they were just bashing the DTR lol.
It's not as pretty as the DTR or honda though.
-
@scrimsmustang don't think it will win over a wr200 but you're right, they are powerful. I Wonder how Honda manages to squeeze out 30 bhp and how Yamaha only ~20 bhp. Seems odd.
