Pros Cons of KTM RC 125

Pros

  • Entry-level track tool
  • Manageable performance
  • Sharp design language

Cons

  • Pricey for its performance
  • Too stiff suspension
  • Dedicated riding position

Verdict

The KTM RC 125 makes a very strong case as an entry-level sport bike. It's got the looks to make heads turn, great dynamics to make a young adult get comfortable with a sport bike. It excels in its styling, easy accessibility and, unintimidating performance, making it the perfect companion to make a statement in college. And after about a year's ownership of the RC 125, you could think of graduating to something with more performance, perhaps the KTM RC 200 or even the KTM RC 390.

Pros Cons Honda Activa 5G

Pros

  • Refined Engine
  • Honda’s superior service network.
  • Low maintenance.

Cons

  • The front brake doesn’t offer enough bite.
  • Outdated suspensions.
  • The plastic quality is not very adequate.

Verdict

Based on the features, technology and design, the Honda Activa 5G  is one of the most reliable scooters in the market.

Honda Activa 5G offers a smooth ride, comfortable ergonomics, along with an extended mileage of 60 kmpl.

Its qualities combinedly make it an ideal scooter for long drives and daily use but at a competitive price.

There is no doubt that the 5G model is a much enhanced and refined variant of its predecessors. However, most Indian riders who buy a scooter over a bike do so because of the former’s utility and features. Missing out on essential elements like telescopic suspensions and disc brakes can affect the scooter’s popularity, especially when the competitors provide the parts at the same price.

However, with just a few tweaks, such as stronger brakes, telescopic suspension, and a few more functional enhancements, Honda can comfortably justify 5G’s price.
