Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 125 Duke 2020

If you want an aggressive design, sporty and good handling as well as higher performance, especially in the upper rev range, you can't go wrong with the Duke. The attention to detail, for example in the form of the LED turn signals or the elaborate and multifunctional TFT display, are a KTM trademark. The only drawback is that it lacks a little power in the lower rev range.
BMW R 1250 GS 2019

The BMW R 1250 GS is the logical further development of the R 1200 GS - logical above all because one should not expect such a popular motorbike to be radically changed. Accordingly, the design has been changed cautiously, and the familiar options for the chassis and electronics have been retained. The new name R 1250 GS, however, promises a new engine - and it really is something! 136 hp at 7750 rpm and a whopping 143 Newton metres of maximum torque at 6250 rpm are an absolute blast! BMW has thus renovated the big GS almost perfectly: it remains clearly recognisable, has a little more electronics as standard, a still long list of surcharges (which customers like to tick from A to Z) and a now even better and more sovereign power plant - what more could you want?!
