Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z 400 2019

The Kawasaki Z400 is definitely a great evolution of its predecessor, the Z300. More power, less weight - all around, simply an even better bike. Above all, the linear power delivery and excellent handling make the Z400 an ideal entry-level bike. The ease of clutch operation and good chassis set-up are also in this vein, which is why the Z400 can be recommended to novice riders without hesitation.

Great, very controllable power delivery

Low weight

Good seating position

Great sound

Very suitable for novice riders.

Non-adjustable clutch and brake levers

Limited adjustable chassis

KTM 125 Duke 2024

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.

lively engine

super-agile handling

Supermoto mode as standard

mature chassis

top brakes

sharp TFT display

connectivity (optional)

Optics not to everyone's taste

price high for a 125cc bike
