Pros
Cons
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.

The BMW S 1000 R is the litre-class naked that has everything going for it, power, performance, balance, handling and good road manners. Precise handling, great balance and performance makes it a very impressive litre-class naked.
