Picked mine up 4 days ago. To anyone thinking of getting it.... Do it. Beautiful little ride. So smooth.
That’s me had my RC125 for a month now, and I absolutely love it. Can’t fault a thing.
Amazing video man! I'm 16 and in about 2 months I am gonna buy the same bike, and was you that encourage me to buy one of this bikes, it was by seeing your amazing videos! Thanks dude! Really appreciated!
Hey thanks for watching man, and wow that's really nice to hear hope you manage to get it and everything works out :)
Awesome man! I had been looking forward to this from you :D
Haha well here it is, all 18 minutes of it ;)
Nice review man, I really wanted this bike man but at the time think it was 4 400 and that's 800 quid dearer than my cbr125 which is also 2015 plate. Tbh I should of saved for another 2 months and got this cos they dropped the price to 4k the bastards lol but it was too late. Most people that do these reviews bore the shit out of me and I turn them off after 3 minutes lol, so well done for keeping my attention for 18 minutes. Stay safe mate.
Hey man, thanks so much for actually watching it, that was my main concern when I finished the video and saw it was 18 minutes I was like oh no, but I couldn't cut anymore out of it so hope you found it useful and enjoy ur new bike :)
"why am I sitting in this traffic" loved that 😂 when you realise you are on a bike
You can buy upper cowl fairings which in my opinion make it The best looking 125 however the one I saw was £800! although it was carbon, hopefully there is a plastic version
Handling is a lot better than a 7.5! An 8.5 at least!
I'm currently on a rs125 and I'm looking go get an rc. I think the main thing I'll miss is the smell of the two stroke oil!
Nice review mate! Still didn't do the Akra any justice though ;). Cant wait to get mine back!
118himan Thanks and I knowww, when you go through tunnels especially it sounds so good but the mic doesn't pick it up, like I said I might make a video soon just of the exhaust sound with a better mic.
Hi, nice videos!! What bike would you recommend to the fist 125cc bike? The mechanics of the ktm rc 125 is good? The bike give problems? machanics problems? Sorry for the bad english
+Kevin van den Heuvel KTM rc is the best bang for buck 125 in my opinion, it's performance is brilliant i've taken down a few yzf's now. So far i've had no problems at all, testing it everyday and it never lets me down. Their abs system is also top notch
got a dilema. Currently got a yzf 15, abs. Got in an accident, and im getting a payout. Do i got for this, or for another yzf?
I've had a yzf and a rs4 aprilia and I just bought one of theses n there well better pop a Austin racing exhaust on and sounds well better
@@chrisgage834 how's the build quality tho heard some bits are badly fitted espesically the pillion seat
@@markhill8590 there ok not the best but for a 125 there only good if its just u on the bike the pillion some times comes lose with passenger
@@chrisgage834 that sounds like they are badly fitted, think I'll give the bike a miss, thanks for the reply
@@markhill8590 no proboem m8
Good review!!! I might get this bike..not sure yet. Really like the ktm duke 125 also! ;)
Thanks, and yeah they're both top bikes :)
Can you tell me which countries Rc 125 and Duke 125 are available
Which Edition of the KTM Rc 125 is it? Important question, it looks really nice!
+Jana H.-S. The standard one?!?
+DanTheTwoWheeler For sure not! Look up in the internet for KTM Rc 125, you can see some different ones...
+Jana H.-S. There is a race edition, but it's purely aesthetic. Only 125 I know to have a variant is yamaha that offers a race performance track only yzf
hey it was a great review can you do a short comparison between this and rc 200. I am little confused between the two in regular road conditions and traffic thnx..
Perfect video for me. I'm going to start my theory then cbt asap and then getting this as my first bike. Oh and we live in the same city so that made the video even more enjoyable. We were both lost at the same point hah.
mrNOuploads You dont need a theory for a CBT mate. Do your theory when you plan to move up as the theory test only lasts for 2 years so you will need to retake it if you don't pass your full test.
Dan what bike is better in your opinion for a 16 year old? (As a first bike) ktm RC 125 or Yamaha yzf R125
+Max B Both amazing bikes, refer to my comparison video for more info
A Grom.
nice video! i have got the power part seat on mine, i haven't had a chance to do any long rides yet but i will probably do it next weekend. the difference is the thickness of it, its more soft and i haven't been riding it without it but i have sit on them both and the power part one is much more comfy i would say :D you should totally consider buying it, if you haven't bought it until next weekend i will give you some feedback :) cheers
Ah cool man, by the sound of it, it sounds like a worthwhile investment, but let me know how you find it anyway.
i will man :) ride safe
DanTheTwoWheeler hey i was riding for a little over an hour yesterday without any stops and it felt like i could go for more hours(talking about the ergo seat) so you should maybe think about buying it :) also is it okay to ride the bike at 60 mph while its almost brand new? i only have about 60 miles in total on the bike. and when i ride it at 50 mph its on around 7k rpm. :)
Yeah I might defo consider getting that seat then, and well I've just completed my first 600 mile 'break in' period and you're supposed to keep it under 7500rpm. Although it's important to remember that it's not just a fixed rule such that as soon as you get your first service done you just redline it. Its just about slowly wearing the engine in and so you can progressively take it to higher rpm the more miles you do. I took it to 8000-8500 rpm a few times as I was coming towards about 500 miles on the clock :)
DanTheTwoWheeler okay thanks man, and today i was riding for about 6 and a half hours with some little breaks. but at the most i was riding 2 hours+ without stop and the seat was good! i can't wait till i can go on higher rpms, i now have about 250 miles in total on the bike:) and the bike is a dream on twisty roads! :D
I seriously can't make my mind up between this and the 2015 zyf!
yzf r 125 is prettier in my opinion, in performance they are both 125 so you cant expect much diference , wich one did you pick?
How is the comfort? I am searching for a ''spotlike'' looking beginner bike that is comfortable too, it Looks like the seet is fuckin hard as shit. Any recommendations?
Dantareon yeah it is hard but many says its good
you also can buy a better seat that isnt so hard
looking at changing from car to bike as don't use the car enough to need it plus bike is cheaper to run. Never been on a bike before though. Great video
Thanks and I hope it works out for you :)
Would you say this is better than the Yamaha yzf r125 ABS
JazekTV I haven't tried the abs version of the r125 but refer to my comparison video between the KTM RC 125 and the standard Yamaha r125, you might find the answer there :)
i love this bike but the only thing that gets me about it is the headlights on it -_-
+Rhys yeah they don't look great but tbh they were so much better than my r125 headlights, could see more further and they lit up the road much more
They are the best thing about it!
@@bve7397 ahaha do you wanna know whats funny? i actually did end up getting the bike! and i also got a yzf r125 and they're both amazing bikes
@@rhys6472 The RC front is sexy af, getting one ones I got my a1
@@bve7397 in my opinion the A1 test is useless... i just did a CBT and then 2 years ago i did my A2 and can do my full A soon
What editing software do you use?
Haha you asked me the same question 3 weeks ago, Adobe After Effects
Haha so I did, I ask loads of youtubers who have nice editing
just ordered one

Alphawizord ok :)
How much is a service on one of these and how often
Mileage of RC125?
Nice one mate
What is milage of this bike
cbr 125 ws rc 125 which one? (Along with Money)
Beko old shape cbr 125 is the quickest 4t 125
@@9mmArts it doesnt matter al 125
what about the milage bro...
You need to get your head down to get the top speed, wind is a bitch give it a go
Speaking as someone that owns two bikes from 1985 still my daily drivers, all that plastic is going to degrade from UV, scratch, and break over time. And there is a lot of plastic on that bike. When I buy a bike I want the least possible use of plastic and the most possible use of alluminum, chrome, and glass. Go in any junk yard and you see the materials that rust or crumble or rot. The ones from 100 years ago still looking good are alluminum, chrome, and glass. Plastic aint going to last 30 years...
+CHOPPERGIRL AIRWAR We live in a disposable society. Nobody expcts it to last 30years unfortunately
+Callum Owen Lol I do. I expect my bikes to last another 30 years :-). Consumers, stop buying pretty crap.
i think bikes are made of plastic so that they can withstand a fall, because the plastic bends but doesnt break, and then comes back to shape , while aluminium bends and doesnt come back, i think thats why
who rides 125 for 30 years ???
Cg125 was the last motorbike built to last. Maybe the varadero. Now such thing as a long term 125 anymore.
I don't know why but you somehow sound really German.
nice im from manchester, im getting a duke tomorrow
Woah really
yeah man :) got it now beautiful bike
I saw this bike in manchester on 1st May
Wher do u put ur mic?
+Symbolic Automotive Inside the helmet, cheek pad area
+DanTheTwoWheeler oh nice. thnx for the reply. good exterior sound considering its in ur helmet
fuel consumption please
i reallyy want one
Recorded 6months ago ;)
Haha gotta protect myself ;)
wow, it nearly sounds like a 50 cc
GamingHazard audio in this vid is fucked, check a vid with just sound ;)
Older model R125 or This bike ??
Hmm both really good bikes in their own way. I did another video doing a comparison of them you could watch 👍🏼
@@DanTheTwoWheeler Thank you
hey it was a great review can you do a short comparison between this and rc 200. I am little confused between the two in regular road conditions and traffic thnx..
We don't have the rc200 here in the UK so I can't really do a proper comparison. I would imagine they are exactly the same except the rc200 has got a little bit more power
hmm k thnx what do u think will be better for a normal road ride do I need that bit more extra power or the abs ?
+Santanu Das the abs is useful, especially in the wet but I wouldn't say necessary. if you're a good enough rider and you know the bike well, you'll be able to stop in the fastest time possible. the extra power however could do some good :)
I am more of a beginner so idk what to do and thnx for the responses really appreciate it thnx
No worries :)
