Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
Yamaha MT-125 2019
Model change done right! Yamaha has taken the cake with the new MT-125. The magnificent single-cylinder coupled with the sporty chassis brings unbelievable riding fun that knows no age limits. Whether young or old - with such driving qualities, the competition has to dress warmly! Due to its sporty design, everyday comfort may have to suffer, but as soon as the roads get twisty, the MT-125 is forgiven for its harshness. A motorbike you can own with a lot of pride!
