KTM 125 Duke 2018

KTM 125 Duke 2018

Even in its second generation, the KTM 125 Duke is still the highest-quality overall package in the 125cc naked bike class. Its looks stand out and its equipment is similar to that of larger and significantly more expensive KTM models. As is typical for KTM, the handling comes from the supermoto league, which makes the 125 Duke a real fun machine in tight corners. However, the Orange from Mattighofen should not relax too long on their laurels, because the competition is strong and is already beginning to overtake the ever-popular KTM 125 Duke in some aspects.

The Honda PCX is a typical Honda scooter: quality and workmanship are right, the design looks modern and the compact scooter gets decent acceleration from a standstill from less than 12 hp. Even the most modern technologies are not neglected: the "Idling Stop" system switches off the engine when the scooter is stationary and saves fuel - very little, but the green idea alone is the right step. Only the unharmonious chassis spoils the ride comfort a little, but the luggage compartment comes up trumps again with practical values by swallowing a full-face helmet. The price of just under 3,000 euros in Germany and just over 3,000 euros in Austria is therefore quite acceptable.
