            Personal Experience from a daily rider
            i bought this bike in 2023 i basically bought this bike for looks and performance, i'd say if you looking for a bike that fall under 1.50 lakhs, daily commute and for the looks i should recommended you go for this bike but if you want performance i'd say check others bikes this bike's performance is neither good nor bad, riding comfort i'd say for riding its good but not for pillion, mileage its good its giving me 51 kmpl but keep it in mind it having a common problem almost in all N160 is engine check light to remove engine check light you need to go to service centre and get done your sensor update and last thing the maintenance cost its also very budget friendly, if you ask should i buy this bike, definitely if you want mileage and looks.

            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.

            An attractive performer to attract the youth
            The KTM RC 125 may seem expensive if you look only at its bulging shape, but it has a great body and excellent underpinnings. These make it a great bike on the circuit, but you won't like it very quickly. My main dream is that it looks more attractive than other bikes and its versatility is an attractive performer to attract the youth.
