KTM 125 Duke 2019

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.

Yamaha MT-07 2018

The MT-07 is an incredible fun machine that is extremely sporty to ride. The brakes pack a punch, the handling is superb and the engine is currently by far the most agile power unit in this class - and even above. The light handling fits in perfectly and the aggressive design with its many corners and edges is also appealing. Only the chassis makes the typically good compromise between comfort and sport and should probably remind you that the affordable MT-07 also has a lot to offer beginners.
