Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 125 Duke 2021
Even in the Euro 5 version, the KTM Duke 125 is the motorbike to beat in the A1 class. Superior equipment, potent engine, good chassis, great display and fun Supermoto mode make not only the heart of 16-year-olds beat faster. The looks polarise, but let the observer clearly recognise the smallest Duke as such. The Duke 125 is not cheap, but it is worth the price.
SWM Varez 125 2020
The SWM Varez 125 is a sporty A1 motorbike with some strengths and some weaknesses. Its biggest disadvantage is probably its position in the 125cc market. With the Yamaha MT-125, KTM 125 Duke and Honda CB125R, it faces very strong competition. Because of its seat height, the SWM is more suited to taller A1 riders who don't want to go for the usual, ubiquitous brands, but are looking for something rarer. In addition to its rarity, the Varez 125 can also score points when it comes to eating up radii in the corner and in terms of fuel economy.
