Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 125 Duke 2019

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.

Yamaha NMAX 125 2017

The Yamaha NMAX 125 is a very simple scooter that works great. Just get on and ride. Without much thinking. Thanks to its low weight, it remains very nimble when cornering, and manoeuvring in the city is child's play. The NMAX also scores full points for looks, making it one of the prettiest 125 scooters.
