Should I buy the Yamaha MT-15 or the KTM Duke 125?
Kumaran Raje, Cuddalore

AAA We’ve only ridden the MT-15 on the track so far, but going solely by the spec sheet, the Yamaha looks like the better bike, considering the extra power. However, the MT-15 has been overpriced, so you need to question whether the unique style and R15 underpinnings are worth your money. If you can wait until we get the bike for a review on the street, we’ll be able to answer your question with certainty.

Falling over is normal in the ADV world...
