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 JAWA Forty Two

Pros

  • Refined performance
  • Comfortable riding position
  • Sorted ride and handling

Cons

  • Low ground clearance
  • Low cornering clearance
  • Welding quality not up to the mark

Verdict

The Jawa Forty-Two 2.1 certainly makes for a more appealing package, particularly with the new updates, which are not just skin deep. The tubeless tyres will offer peace of mind to riders, the seat will offer a more comfortable perch, the exhaust note has become throatier, and the ride quality is supple, and firm.Overall, the new Jawa 42 is a nicely put together bike, except for cornering clearance, and a few glaring welds on the frame and on the back of the forks.
