Pros Cons of Honda CBR650R

Pros

  • Solid performance
  • Focussed motorcycle
  • Good features

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Only available in BigWing dealerships
  • Committed riding position

Verdict

The Honda CBR650R is well-balanced with entertaining performance and with an agility that is quite likeable. However, it's still an expensive motorcycle and fails to convince for the steep price tag it commands.

Pros Cons KTM 125 Duke

Pros

  • Sharp Styling
  • Premium components and build
  • Dynamic handling

Cons

  • Pricey for its performance
  • Stiff suspension
  • Rivals offer better value

Verdict

The 125 Duke offers similar road presence, fantastic road manners and a suitably entertaining personality for young riders to hone their skills to graduate to bigger and more performance oriented bikes. And being a 125 cc, it may well be passed off as a relatively 'safe' option, at least while convincing the parent. Considering the KTM 200 Duke is at least ₹ 30,000 more expensive, the 125 Duke certainly offers a relatively affordable and accessible entry into the KTM family.
