Honda CB125R vs 2021 KTM Duke 125 (Quick Comparison)

Honda CB125R vs 2021 KTM Duke 125: The 125cc model of Duke is the most-affordable KTM bike you can buy in India. It is also one of the most successful and best-selling KTM models in the country.

This means that the chances of Honda considering CB125R for the Indian markets are all-time high as the buyers in India are now willing to spend money on a premium low-displacement motorcycle.

In terms of looks, the 125cc engine, an under-belly exhaust system, and the sharp tank panels are the only three differences between the Honda CB300R and CB125R. KTM Duke 125 features USD forks, wide tyres, and an all-digital instrument console. All three features are also true for the Honda CB125R.

The CB125R can help Honda eliminate the need for any other premium motorcycle in the 150cc segment as changing times are pushing more buyers towards the environment-friendly 125cc premium bikes. Here is a quick comparison between the new Honda CB125R and the KTM Duke 125.
