I am a 16 year old student and I am thinking about getting a bike. I have been thinking about getting a Kawasaki Ninja 500 or a KTM 125 Duke. Could I have some opinions about which is better or if there is a better option. Thanks

At 16, you are only permitted to ride a moped…..these 2 bikes are limited to 17/19 year olds.

So what would you recommend for me?

Wait until you’re 17, then go to a dealer and try lots of 125’s for size and comfort….test ride the most comfortable and get yourself some decent wet weather gear and a full face helmet.

You can't ride a 500cc bike until you are 21 years old and suitably licensed.

Always wear protection for your spine, your joints, and your hands. Falling off at even 30 mph can lead to major injuries if you are not wearing protective clothing.
