JAWA 300 vs KTM 125 Duke Comparison

The Jawa Jawa or Jawa 300 is a modern classic roadster with design which is near identical to the original Jawa two-stroke 250 cc motorcycles from the 1960s and '70s, although the new Jawa comes with a four-stroke 300 cc engine. Even though it's not a performance-oriented motorcycle, the Jawa looks great, is built well, and has brilliant ride and handling, backed by the performance of an engine which doesn't really have too many negatives.

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.
