Pros and Cons in comparison

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
