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.

Friends of real supersports bikes listen up, because the Yamaha YZF-R125 could be just the right bike for you in the A1 class. The Yamaha focuses entirely on a sporty appearance, which is not only evident in the R6-like look, but can also be felt in the seating position. The load on the wrists is super-sporty and the knee angle is sharp - perhaps too sharp for tall riders. In return, the YZF-R125 rewards not only with a cool appearance, but also with a very potent engine and a confidence-inspiring chassis that invites high cornering speeds.
