Our take on this /// Verdict
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.

KTM RC 490
I am loving the power and performance –the engine growls in a way that makes my heart race. But the fuel efficiency is disappointing but I feel like I am at the pump too often. And that seat height? Not for the faint-hearted! If you are shorter, you might find it tough to manage.
