KTM 125 Duke 2017

KTM 125 Duke 2017

It's really fantastic how much equipment you can buy in the 125cc class these days. The KTM 125 Duke is not only convincing with plenty of power and quick turn-in behaviour, its appearance is also very classy. Thanks to the aggressive look and the ultra-modern TFT display, the 125 Duke looks like a shrunken 1290 Super Duke R. A whole lot of motorbike in a small package.

Yamaha MT-03 2017

Yamaha MT-03 2017

The MT-03 remains Yamaha's most accessible and pragmatic Hyper Naked in the segment. It scores with its low seat height, the easily controllable power of the two-cylinder and at the same time offers enough comfort for commuters. What it may lack in sportiness, it makes up for in comfort, making it perfect for people looking for a well-functioning motorbike with a brutal look. However, you shouldn't be too big, and you shouldn't aspire to keep up with the other models in the MT range at the angle - because that's not what it was designed for. The 2020 model year is thus a coherent update that is sure to make its buyers happy.

Well controllable power

Low seat height

Easy to ride

Low consumption

Easy to read LC display

Aggressive look

Sharp knee angle for tall people

Soft chassis compared to other Yamaha MT models

Not the most emotional motorbike
