7. KSR Code X 125

The KSR Code X, like the KTM Duke, is an Austrian bike (despite being made in China) and offers a different approach to a commuter bike.

It’s big, chunky and stylish and, at £1,799 it is as cheap as they come in the segment. But don’t let that put you off; this is no bargain basement option in any aspect other than price.

It’s well-built and well put together with tough plastics and rubbers that you certainly wouldn’t expect of such an affordable bike.

The Code X is rider-friendly and, despite not setting the world alight around corners, it handles well and is easy to ride. It’s also fuel-efficient.
