Q. Is Duke 125cc can beat 150cc and 160cc bikes?

It would be unfair to give a verdict here as it would depend on the various factors such as power output, performance numbers, underpinnings of the bike, power to weight ratio, gearing specifications, etc. The 125 Duke serves as the perfect stepping stone to performance-oriented motorcycles. With 14.5PS of power on tap, it’s more at par with 150cc motorcycles such as the Bajaj Pulsar 150 and Suzuki Gixxer. But the torque is much lower here - just 12Nm. You do get a minor surge in torque at around the 7000rpm mark, and the bike pulls cleanly till its redline of a little over 10,000rpm. But don’t think that you’ll be winning any drag races here, unless you’re going up against bikes in the same cubic capacity bracket.
