Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 125 Duke 2015

For 16-year-olds and B-111 owners, the KTM 125 Duke is a blessing because it is not a small moped brand, but a real motorbike brand with sporty prestige and a high coolness factor. Motorcyclists who have outgrown school age will miss performance and are more likely to use the smallest Duke for very short everyday trips, if at all. I would then rather prefer a scooter, which also has storage space.

extremely light

cool look

a real Duke

power parts for customisation

Modest performance

little comfort

KTM 390 Adventure 2022

The small 390 Adventurr can be seen as an absolute all-rounder in its class and a real value-for-money winner. The high-quality electronics package and the powerful single-cylinder make it a pure fun machine that does not overtax inexperienced on- and off-road riders, but supports them. The sporty but comfortable seating position and the decent wind protection make even longer tours possible. No matter what surface you ride it on, the 390 Adventure is a lot of fun - but most of all in tight corners!

Powerful engine

adjustable chassis

good wind protection

top price-performance ratio

high-quality electronics package including lean angle-dependent traction control and cornering ABS

optional Quickshifter+

real fun machine on any surface.

A little too compact for tall pilots
