KTM 125 Duke 2015

Para os jovens de 16 anos e os proprietários de B-111, a KTM 125 Duke é uma bênção porque não é uma pequena marca de ciclomotores, mas uma verdadeira marca de motos com prestígio desportivo e um elevado fator de frescura. Os motociclistas que já ultrapassaram a idade escolar sentirão falta do desempenho e é mais provável que utilizem a Duke mais pequena para viagens diárias muito curtas, se é que o fazem. Prefiro então uma scooter, que também tem espaço de arrumação.

O comportamento e a posição do assento são desportivos, uma streetfighter para a cidade. É aqui que a pequena moto japonesa se sente mais em casa. Com o seu baixo peso, consegue deslocar-se no trânsito da cidade e os percursos curtos por terra não são problema. Apenas a falta de espaço de arrumação e o preço relativamente elevado deprimem a impressão geral muito positiva da mota A1.
