The KTM RC 125 fuel efficiency—what's the deal? Is it really that bad, like people say?

With mixed city and highway riding, I average about 38 km/l. Not great, but not terrible. But don't expect scooter-like efficiency.

Its engine is performance-oriented. If you are on the lookout for a bike that will save you fuel, well mate, you’ve come to the wrong place.

By avoiding sudden accelerations, keeping the RPMs low, and, by consequence, decreasing the amount of fuel consumed, I've been able to improve my mileage by about 10%. It requires some practice, but it can be done.

Fuel efficiency is just okay, but then again you have a high-performance 125cc engine. It's a trade-off between performance and efficiency.

Absolutely worth it! Beginners will find that the RC 125 is a perfect blend of style and manageable power. You won't be overwhelmed with the proper techniques.

And I would say go for something cheaper and more forgiving. New riders may find the RC 125's aggressive riding position uncomfortable, and parts are expensive.

It depends on your goals. The RC 125 is a great introduction to sport bikes and something to grow into if you’re into sport bikes and want to move up to more powerful machines. However, if you are just commuting, there are probably better options.

I began on RC 125 and enjoyed it. I learned a lot about cornering and handling on the bike. People will always ask when you're upgrading to a "real" bike, so you should just prepare yourself for that.

It's honestly a bit overpriced for what it is. For the same price, you could get a used 250cc or 300cc and have more room to grow as a rider.

The RC 125 is a good learner bike. For beginners it is forgiving enough, but it has enough performance to keep you entertained. It looks way cooler than most other 125cc bikes, plus.

If you are 100% sure you want a sports bike, I'd recommend it. The ergonomics will make you ready for bigger sport bikes in the future. It’s not the most comfortable for long rides, but just be aware of that.

The bike itself is great, but the maintenance costs can get to be a little much. Just make sure you take that into account in your decision.

I began on one, and it was perfect. There was enough power to be fun, but not enough power to get me into serious trouble while I was learning. The only bad thing was that I grew out of it pretty fast.

Consider your local roads. The more highways you have, the more the RC 125 may seem underpowered. It’s a blast for city riding and twisty back roads, though.
When will KTM release a street-legal version of the RC 8C?

KTM's CEO literally said they won't make any more supersports for the street, no way. Apparently it's too dangerous.

They must be working on it right now. Probably the RC 8C is just a test bed for a future street bike.
When will KTM release a street-legal version of the RC 8C?

If they don't make a street version, they'd be crazy. Definitely, there is a market for high-end sport bikes.

And even if they did, the bike would be so watered down to fit regulations that it wouldn't have been the same bike. Better to keep it track-only.

I hope they do! That level of performance would be awesome on a street-legal bike.

But they might release a tamer version based on the looks of the RC 8C, with a more street-friendly engine and ergonomics.
