With its attractive price point of approximately €2912, the RT 125 D offers an enticing blend of style, functionality, and affordability, making it a compelling choice in the competitive lightweight motorcycle market. At the heart of the RT 125 D is a single-cylinder, four-stroke engine boasting a displacement of 124.50 cc.

Built on a robust steel frame, the motorcycle features a front telescopic suspension and a rear monoshock setup that provides a comfortable ride, whether you're navigating city streets or taking on twisty country roads. Stopping power is delivered by a single disc brake with a 2-piston caliper at the front, paired with a reliable drum brake at the rear. The bike's dimensions are compact, with a seat height of 790 mm, making it accessible for riders of various heights.
