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 Yamaha FZ 25

Pros

  • Most affordable in the segment
  • Reliable 
  • Decent fuel efficiency

Cons

  • Engine vibrations
  • Cranky gearbox
  • Better brakes

Verdict

The Yamaha FZ 25 is the most affordable motorycle in the segment and is well-known for its reliability and overall performance. The Yamaha guarantee of speed and safety is aptly combined in this motorcycle and the high fuel efficiency figures makes it a compelling prospect. Overall, as a value for money product in the 250 cc motorcycle segment, the FZ 25 makes for a compelling case, but is let down by lack of entertaining performance and exciting design.
