OUR OPINION:

If you are willing to get your hands on a sharp handling motorcycle but the RC 200 and RC 390 is beyond your budjet, then the RC 125 is definitely a good option. It looks identicle to bigger RC motorcycles and also offers almost the same features and frame. However, if you compare the motorcycle with the latest Gixxer Sf 150, its is definitely a more praticle motorcycle that offers a comfortable ride and handling quality if you are using it for the daily commute.
