The KTM RC 125 is a great entry-level bike for those who crave the sporty aesthetics of a racing bike in a compact manageable package. Its aggressive design, sharp handling, and solid build quality make it ideal for young riders and city commuters looking to stand out. The RC 125 suits beginners and style enthusiasts who want an introduction to the KTM brand without diving into larger, more powerful models. However, the relatively high price for a 125cc engine and limited highway power may be drawbacks for some. Potential buyers should weigh the premium styling and brand appeal against practical needs like comfort on longer rides and servicing costs.

Overpriced Bike KTM 125
It is not value for money KTM 125 RC defeat with every single bike like Pulser RS, NS. It was burst racing experience. To solve this problem please less the price of bike or to increase the power of bike.
Best Features: There are not value for money very overpriced
Pros: -
Cons: This is very over priced and not beat any bike (i.e) RS, R15, Apache
Nice Bike
Nice bike my dream bike I love you KTM RC200. Only KTM RC200. Nice look. Coming soon my new bike KTM RC200 love You KTM company.
Best Features: Look Super Look
Pros: 200cc and Look

KTM RC390 Head Gasket Leakage
My bike completed only 2526kms and engine head gasket leaked. Service done by KTM authorized service center. I am very disappointed
Best Features: Only sound
Pros: Looks, power
Cons: My bike complete only 2526kms and engine head gasket leaked
Want performance and safety at the same? Yes you're right, this is it.
I ride this 300 cc monster each and every day in my life since I bought it, just local errands about 40 to 50 kms everyday, even though everyone talks about the riding posture and all that, for a person height above 6 feet and above... It's gonna be the most perfect bike for you. Even though it takes your energy, due to its race posture, you gotta learn how to hold the belly of the bike and ride, that way it becomes easy. As the cons I mentioned: little tank, vibration due to less engine refinement, flat seat, no slipper clutch (in 2014 models). It's the bike for anyone and everyone to ride and learn before you proceed to higher capacity vehicles, so that you know how to control your mind speed, and to ride responsibly. This is true, applause to KTM for bringing such an awesome bike as this to India.
Best Features: Strong motor, even though it's a single 373cc cylinder, you gotta ride one of these.
Pros: Performance, riding posture for those track days, informative digital console.
Cons: Riding posture in terms of versatility or DAILY use. Vibs like hell, you can even say it's a sporty royal Enfield. FUEL tank: I gotta full my tank every 2 days, just gets boring
