Suzuki Gixxer vs KTM 125 Duke Comparison

The Suzuki Gixxer may be a bit long in the tooth, having been around for close to a decade. When it was launched it immediately set new benchmarks for the segment, and even today, offers a very well-rounded package. The Gixxer is the near-perfect beginner motorcycle, which has decent power and performance from its 155 cc engine, impressive refinement and good ride and handling.

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.
