Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha MT-07 2017

Even after three years, the Yamaha MT-07 is still a public favourite. No one else beats such a price-performance ratio. The two-cylinder engine is powerful, but can be dosed very gently at low revs. The display is also one of the best in this class, with good readability. Only the chassis is disappointing. In a sporty riding style, it is simply too soft, which can cause the MT-07 to sway.

great motor

easy to read display

low price

Chassis too soft

KTM 125 Duke 2016

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.

Extremely manoeuvrable

high-quality equipment

power parts for individualisation

little comfort

modest performance
