KTM 125 Duke 2017
It's really fantastic how much equipment you can buy in the 125cc class these days. The KTM 125 Duke is not only convincing with plenty of power and quick turn-in behaviour, its appearance is also very classy. Thanks to the aggressive look and the ultra-modern TFT display, the 125 Duke looks like a shrunken 1290 Super Duke R. A whole lot of motorbike in a small package.
Yamaha R125 2019
The Yamaha YZF-R125 in the 2019 version makes journalists' lives difficult. You search and search for a fault, but can't find one - simply frustrating! Because the 15 hp single-cylinder with variable valve timing (VVA) performs excellently and is undoubtedly one of the best power units in the 125cc class. The handling is convincing in everyday life as well as on the racetrack, even if the chassis shows its sporty side on bumps. But we are on a super sports bike, so that is not a serious point of criticism. Maybe I need to ride the R125 for a few weeks to find its Achilles heel after all....
