Sir, this is by far the most informative and intelligent review I have watched. Well done on a fantastic review.
I have a KTM RC 125 2019 and its a very beautiful bike its visually appealing and a lovely ride
How is everything on it now? Still running sound with normal maintenance? And about 75 moh?

@@tamaki9334on avrage roads its around 65-70 but if you lean down you would get to 70-80 but it will cut out at 82 because its restricted and the seat is very comfy but its classes as a sports bike so the insurance is very high for me because I'm 19 with 1 years noclaim
@@shaunlafferty1781how much is your insurance on it bro, monthly ?
On my first year I was 330 a month lol but now I'm 215 a month remember its still classed as a super bike even tho its a 125
Just reserved a brand new one for 3499. Cant wait!
good deal bro
How you getting on with your KTM?
@@JackkClarke yeah all good so far mate, cant really complain on the whole, it feels and rides lovely (if not massively quick but its a modern day 125 so it is what it is) looks amazing, seems to run on air alone as the fuel lasts forever lol, started first time every time, some minor niggles like condensation in the TFT display, few squeaks etc but nothing really. I havent been able to ride it as much as i would of liked due to weather/time but summer is coming soon! Would recommend but cant comment on its capabilities vs the Aprilia rs125 or Yamaha R125 as ive not rode them and dont know anyone who has had the contemporary 4 stroke versions im afraid.
Really want to do my full test this year but money is tight, dont know if i can justify it!
@@JackkClarke if you can get it for the same price id go for it. Have to factor in the service costs aswell so it does work out slightly more. Premier bikes in abingdon service is usually £180 a time. Unsure of Fowlers/Blades etc servicing costs
Thanks!@@simonh1791 So far the cheapest I can get it for is £3,499 + £200 OTR fee (£3699) so still cheaper than a MT125 or R125 but the insurance is throwing me off! £1300/yr! I've seen a few comments and videos about condensation in the display but not seen any major damage caused by it. Wont be a heavy ride just to/from work daily so 20 miles a week roughly.
Having a hard time finding my first 125cc haha. decisions decisions...
The SINNIS GPX 125 was my other choice for £2300K + £706/yr insurance.
I always loved the looks of ktm bikes so much
They finally thought practical and made the rear subframe a bolt on rather than one whole piece like the older models - thats good for crashes, less likely to write off a bike
With the brakes side, you'll probably find it was down to ABS, nothing wrong with ABS, but on a 125 it adds a couple KG in weight, they are better off with CBS (combined braking system) it keeps weight down and better feel in the lever
And you forgot to mention the Aprilia RS 125... 😳 We need to have words about that 😂
Which is better, the RC or the RS?
@@oscardominguez1680 I'm completely biased, but I also know them well, I prefer the Aprilia over the KTM
@@rpcorseltd5289 yea old aprilia.. aka 2 stroke 125s. New ones shit
@@bve7397 yup I completely agree, but given all 17yr olds who are new to biking won't know what the 2 stroke is, my first choice on the 4 strokes will always be the RS4 125, the frame from that is the same as the old 1999 RS50
@@rpcorseltd5289 the 2 stroke 125 engine is legemdary
I just bought the 2023 model yesterday at fowlers for £5200 , Got to wait till 13th april for delivery im so excited it looks awesome.
What colour scheme did you go for
@@markhill8590 all orange on the body work and black wheels
@@escootersfpvrides2723 nice whats the orange and black look like in colour?
@@markhill8590 Looks great mate, there are some videos on youtube if you search
@@escootersfpvrides2723 0-100 km/h at what time??
Do you think this is a good bike for a 16 year old? I am just getting into the bike scene and wanted to find a good first bike
You’d have to be 17 to ride this since it’s a 125. This is 3699 rn so I’m gonna cop it in the morning
ktm will replace the dash under warranty as its a known issue. That is why they updated them on the new season models
Tbh , all the 125 4t are mostly the same
Bro ur hair 💀
Bros a true American 💀💀
@@decoroustate he's British lol
BRO. dont want to see your face bro, show the bike more
imagine having a pink hedge running through ya head at the age of 55
