Pros

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.
Pros
Cons
Verdict
The TVS Apache RTR 180 offers a comfortable riding position for daily commutes, and in terms of design, has a sporty appeal. However, it could do better with an updated instrument cluster and better brakes. As far as performance is concerned, the RTR 180 offers enjoyable performance for intra-city riding, handles well and has a comfortable ride too. Plus, it is easy to maintain, with economical running costs.
