            Great Budget Bike with Ultra Performance
            It is a great budget bike for youngsters who like to ride fast. Because of its ABS it is completely safe. The onroad support from KTM will be really helpful. The mileage is around 30kmpl and the performance is really good. The pickup is good, that it reaches 100kmph speed in less than 15 seconds. It is very comfortable as well, I have never faced any discomfort while riding even for a long time. I would definitely recommend this bike for youngsters who are planning to buy a budget bike.

            My honest review
            I own this bike for last 6 months and I personally obtained a awesome ride experience and comfort on this duke 250 gen 3 edition. Mileage and maintenance cost are acceptable. I feel tha raw power on this motor cycle and the brakes gives more confidence to achieve the top end. I don't even feel any kind of wobbling issues at the low end and also in top end. The bike gives the butter smooth ride experience..

            Overall the performance of the KTM duke 250 is quite awesome and also comes with pretty loaded features the mileage will be quite low 28-30kmpl.The sudden pickup and all others compared to bs 4 here it is quite less but gives a good handy bike in the segment of 3 Lakhs worth the money, the ktm service is too good and supportive and quick.

            KTM RC 125 is only for the younger generation
            KTM RC 125 is giving a lot of issues and a very rough running sound is produced. It is very good looking bike. Its fuel cost is quite high. So most of the people especially those from the middle class have not purchased the bike. It’s not possible to ride this bike in muddy water in a village. It can carry only two persons. This bike is only for the younger generation in contemporary society.

            Elegant design and sporty appearance
            KTM RC 125 is an astonishing bike which provides lots of joy in riding. I have been using this bike for few months now and I must say I am impressed. The first thing that I was fascinated with was the elegant design and sporty appearance of the bike. The 125cc engine is like a tiger that roars with great acceleration and top speed ideal for commuting and long driving. The seat as well is nice and offers good comfort for long rides, thus, there is a limit to the distance one can ride using the bike.
