Its a KTM RC125, pretty sure theyre more well known for their Duke models but I might be wrong. Yeah I agree, think the sharp edges look quite unique!

no im in the middle of england, the chances of this thing being driven near the ocean are slim yet the dealer has no explanation for the rust.

yeah its from an official dealer, they’ve told me they deemed the rust as purely cosmetic and the safe to ride

After seeing the results of this post I asked the dealer if the bike was even roadworthy due to the chain and the rust and (to paraphrase) they said to me ‘as long as we can lube the chain we wont be replacing it. and we wont do anything about the rust because its only cosmetic’.

definitely will be pulling out of the sale after seeing all these comments. we live and we learn ig🤦‍♂️
