For this race, there are two YouTubers shooting this video for their respective channels.

However, the Bullet began to develop a short lead from the RC125, which is quite interesting. Then, for the longest time, the KTM was not able to catch hold of the retro cruiser. It is only after around 120 km/h speed, that the RC125 was able to overtake the Bullet.
