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.
SWM Varez 125 2020
The SWM Varez 125 is a sporty A1 motorbike with some strengths and some weaknesses. Its biggest disadvantage is probably its position in the 125cc market. With the Yamaha MT-125, KTM 125 Duke and Honda CB125R, it faces very strong competition. Because of its seat height, the SWM is more suited to taller A1 riders who don't want to go for the usual, ubiquitous brands, but are looking for something rarer. In addition to its rarity, the Varez 125 can also score points when it comes to eating up radii in the corner and in terms of fuel economy.
