Got mileage of | 35 kmpl |
I saw a KTM bike in 2014 on the street and from then I had a dream to buy one. It was really a dream come true moment when bought it in 2019 as a gift for my brother. As a safety, I took KTM RC 125 and the expectations with the performance and looks were wonderful. Riding the bike feels so sporty especially when you ride it on the highway at the speed of 100+km/h.

Shitty bike I have ever own!

Pathetic experience in every situation! After my Pulsar F250, I also buy this for a sporty look and daily commute. Ooh, man!!! This bike gives me a 28-32 kmpl average in the city! But 50% bigger engine my Pulsar 250 gives me 33-38 kmpl in the city! (overtake city traffic is very difficult, so every time I drop a gear and full throttle helps me overtake the traffic it causes this bike to has very very low mileage! I regret my decision to purchase this bike. This bike has no purpose!!! Not a daily city commuter, not a fun-to-ride machine, not a top-end killer, not a value-for-money option, and no initial power to overtake the city (TVS raider has better acceleration in the city compared to this shit!).This is only for poor KTM lovers bike, who can't afford Duke 250 or rc200 or 390! But no sense to buy this bike. Also, this bike's resale value is very very pathetic!!! I recently sold a 5-month-old bike (4,600km ridden) for 1.4 lakh rupees only!! :(

In city traffic alwase use 1st and 2nd gear and full throttle in traffic for better overtaking (then milage will dropped to 26-30 kmpl) And use castrol power one engine oil, iridium spark plug and performance air filter for better acceleration.

Fresh oil helps maintain engine performance and longevity. So always change your oil after 3000 or 3500 km. Periodically check and clean the air filter.

The RC125 takes aeons to get to 100kmph though and clocked a time of 18.42 seconds in our test.

Mr Shahid Sayyad
The KTM RC125 managed to put a smile on my face when I rode it at Bajaj's test track near Pune, despite its coffee mug-sized engine. Of course, it runs KTM's genes and in this case, the fact that the bike is 'just' a 125cc motorcycle didn't matter too much since the bike uses a chassis and cycle parts that are usually seen on motorcycles powered by engines displacing twice, which helped the RC125 deliver the goods. But now, it's time to take the little RC out of its comfort zone and put it through the grind of commuting in traffic, to see how KTM's smallest sports bike takes on the drudgery.

Service your bike without missing. Always keep more then 1 liter fuel in fuel tank. Ride at normal speed in traffic and you can ride faster in highways. Clean chain for every 500 kms and lub it well. Always clean your bike and get check when you feel any bad. And finally don't give your bike to other more frequently, because the way of driving changes makes bike lose power early and gets some different problems

Instead of buying RC125, it's better to go for RC200, Suzuki Gixxer 150 or the best Yamaha R15. This bike is way too costly and the new Ferring seems a bit uncool. The pillion height has increased as well. Talking about mileage it's okay but won't be able to take this bike for a longer ride.

Ktm rc 125 best in all segment yes. Know why!
1 year ago
Abhi Pratap
I bought a KTM rc 125cc bike as my first sports bike. I find it worth investing in this brand. I loved sports bikes with aesthetic looks and good mileage. Under a 2lac budget, it's the best sports option for crowded cities, so I bought it.The pickup of the bike is so good, the seats and overall posture and driving experience of this bike while driving are more comfortable than other bikes in the same price segment I have driven.The looks and feel of the bike are great and it feels costlier than actually it is. The average mileage in my city is around 32-34kmpl which is very good for a daily user therefore it can be used for daily purposes as the running cost is less.Servicing is easy and affordable. But maintenance is somewhat hard as you need to go smoothly with the bike. Little things can put scratches on it. And it's a little bit heavy so the parking space should be even. So many service centers are easily available in the city.Talking overall you should buy this if you like sports bikes and have a budget of approx 2lac. You can use it as your primary option for daily use. As running cost is low and the bike is fast.But if you are into some rough job like field work then you need to think first because rough handling can cause damage to the bike and body. So maintenance is hard. But I loved my bike and I would say it's all in one. Good mileage, comfortable seating, easy servicing, under budget, low running cost. If you can do good care of it you should buy it.

I don't know why this bike is so pricey if you get 25000 more you will get a power 200 cc ktm, and the mileage is also the same as this bike, I fully recommend you to not buy this bike in any manner for 2.2 lakhs. You will get a powerful 250cc bike or u will get mt15 power and mileage in 2 lakh, the waste bike ever in India, for 2.2 lakh you can buy these bikes instead of ktm 1251. Mt152. Pulsar 220f3. Rs2004. Ns 2005. Dominor 250These are more powerful and more fuel-efficient bikes than this 125 cc ktm.

Way too Costly

Instead of buying RC125, it's better to go for RC200, Suzuki Gixxer 150 or the best Yamaha R15. This bike is way too costly and the new Ferring seems a bit uncool. The pillion height has increased as well. Talking about mileage it's okay but won't be able to take this bike for a longer ride.

Ktm rc 125 best in all segment yes. Know why!

Abhi Pratap
I bought a KTM rc 125cc bike as my first sports bike. I find it worth investing in this brand. I loved sports bikes with aesthetic looks and good mileage. Under a 2lac budget, it's the best sports option for crowded cities, so I bought it.The pickup of the bike is so good, the seats and overall posture and driving experience of this bike while driving are more comfortable than other bikes in the same price segment I have driven.The looks and feel of the bike are great and it feels costlier than actually it is. The average mileage in my city is around 32-34kmpl which is very good for a daily user therefore it can be used for daily purposes as the running cost is less.Servicing is easy and affordable. But maintenance is somewhat hard as you need to go smoothly with the bike. Little things can put scratches on it. And it's a little bit heavy so the parking space should be even. So many service centers are easily available in the city.Talking overall you should buy this if you like sports bikes and have a budget of approx 2lac. You can use it as your primary option for daily use. As running cost is low and the bike is fast.But if you are into some rough job like field work then you need to think first because rough handling can cause damage to the bike and body. So maintenance is hard. But I loved my bike and I would say it's all in one. Good mileage, comfortable seating, easy servicing, under budget, low running cost. If you can do good care of it you should buy it.

I don't know why this bike is so pricey if you get 25000 more you will get a power 200 cc ktm, and the mileage is also the same as this bike, I fully recommend you to not buy this bike in any manner for 2.2 lakhs. You will get a powerful 250cc bike or u will get mt15 power and mileage in 2 lakh, the waste bike ever in India, for 2.2 lakh you can buy these bikes instead of ktm 1251. Mt152. Pulsar 220f3. Rs2004. Ns 2005. Dominor 250These are more powerful and more fuel-efficient bikes than this 125 cc ktm.

Shitty bike I have ever own!
15 weeks ago
Nirmalya Saha
Pathetic experience in every situation! After my Pulsar F250, I also buy this for a sporty look and daily commute. Ooh, man!!! This bike gives me a 28-32 kmpl average in the city! But 50% bigger engine my Pulsar 250 gives me 33-38 kmpl in the city! (overtake city traffic is very difficult, so every time I drop a gear and full throttle helps me overtake the traffic it causes this bike to has very very low mileage! I regret my decision to purchase this bike. This bike has no purpose!!! Not a daily city commuter, not a fun-to-ride machine, not a top-end killer, not a value-for-money option, and no initial power to overtake the city (TVS raider has better acceleration in the city compared to this shit!).This is only for poor KTM lovers bike, who can't afford Duke 250 or rc200 or 390! But no sense to buy this bike. Also, this bike's resale value is very very pathetic!!! I recently sold a 5-month-old bike (4,600km ridden) for 1.4 lakh rupees only!! :(

In city traffic alwase use 1st and 2nd gear and full throttle in traffic for better overtaking (then milage will dropped to 26-30 kmpl) And use castrol power one engine oil, iridium spark plug and performance air filter for better acceleration.

Fresh oil helps maintain engine performance and longevity. So always change your oil after 3000 or 3500 km. Periodically check and clean the air filter. A clean filter enhances airflow, optimizing the engine's efficiency. Replace it if necessary, following the maintenance schedule. Always check the break and disc for your safety.

The RC125 takes aeons to get to 100kmph though and clocked a time of 18.42 seconds in our test.

Mr Shahid Sayyad
The KTM RC125 managed to put a smile on my face when I rode it at Bajaj's test track near Pune, despite its coffee mug-sized engine. Of course, it runs KTM's genes and in this case, the fact that the bike is 'just' a 125cc motorcycle didn't matter too much since the bike uses a chassis and cycle parts that are usually seen on motorcycles powered by engines displacing twice, which helped the RC125 deliver the goods. But now, it's time to take the little RC out of its comfort zone and put it through the grind of commuting in traffic, to see how KTM's smallest sports bike takes on the drudgery.

Tips for other riders
Service your bike without missing. Always keep more then 1 liter fuel in fuel tank. Ride at normal speed in traffic and you can ride faster in highways. Clean chain for every 500 kms and lub it well. Always clean your bike and get check when you feel any bad. And finally don't give your bike to other more frequently, because the way of driving changes makes bike lose power early and gets some different problems
