Ultimate Performance Bike
I am a bike enthusiast. This bike is better than Dominor 400. It is light weight and accelerates faster than any Bajaj Bike.It is a powerful and feature-packed motorcycle with a sleek design, smooth performance, and robust braking. If you are looking for a sporty all performance bike look no further. This one ticks all the boxes.

Long run with a BAJAJ Pulsar NS400Z
I'm here with a long run with this bike I brought it one month ago and it is performing pretty well I have tried both long ride and a city commute Fuel efficiency is pretty good in highway around 33-35kmpl but give average of only 20- 23 in city run. Coming to performance it is a beast , but breaking is not upto it's power Overall comparison with other bikes in the segment it is value for money machine

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.
