125 DukeThe bike's lightweight frame and responsive handli
I had my KTM 125 Duke for about a year now and it has been quite the nimble companion on city streets. With its 125 cc engine that puts out 14.5 HP, it makes zipping through traffic a breeze. The bike's lightweight frame and responsive handling make it a joy to ride in the urban jungle. I also love the sharp, aggressive styling that turns heads wherever I go.However, it's not all smooth riding. The KTM 125 Duke struggles on highways. The engine feels strained above 80 km/h and long rides can become tiring due to the lack of power.

R15SFun to ride machine
I am a happy owner of Yamaha R15S. Although the race riding position intensifies the fun of the riding, on the flipside, it may be a bit hard on the longer ride, especially for a person like me who is procrastinator and who sometimes suffers from backache. Furthermore, while this sporty suspension setup gives the vehicle superior cornering, it also tends to compromise the ride quality, making bumps just a bit jarring to passengers. Furthermore, the smaller fuel tank size requires meticulous planning before embarking on extended rides to prevent fuel exhaustion in isolated areas.

While the small size of its 150cc engine may seem inadequate, the surprising fact is that it gives out a perfect combination of power and efficiency, making it an obvious choice of bike for users who appreciate both speed and utility purposes. Curved fairing design not just is only aerodynamic but also it add a racing faction to the streets.
