It’s a quiet morning in Southern California. The air is still, the sun has just risen and all is right with the world. Nothing could make it better—except for one thing— the sound of a 125 two-stroke at full scream. MXA test rider Brian Medeiros breaks the silence of the idyllic scene on a KTM 125SX two-stroke. At first the sound is faint, but as he gets closer, it begins to crackle and grow into what can best be described as a shriek. It’s just another day of testing at MXA, but on this day it’s a chance to see who can hold it on the longest, hit the whoops the hardest and fly the farthest…and, by being the first bike out on an empty track, the KTM 125SX gets to play morning reveille. Enjoy the sound by cranking up those speakers.
