Pros

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

Cons

  • Pricey for its performance

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.
