KTM 390 Duke 2018

The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.

China or not - the Brixton BX 125 is a real motorbike that can be proudly presented in front of any ice cream parlour or at a motorbike meeting. The power is below the A1 limit of 15 hp, but in the saddle of the retro naked bike this does not bother at any time. It gives a feeling of relaxation and is just the right A1 bike if you want to slow down and simply enjoy life. But all that glitters is not gold. For example, you notice the low price in the workmanship of the controls and the brake could also be more powerful. However, the latter is a general problem of the A1 class.
