OUR OPINION :
If we compare both the motorcycles on the basis of their styling then the RC 125 definitely looks more agressive and sporty than its rival the Yamaha R15 V3 . If we talk about their engine, the R15 obviously has a bigger displacement and also produces more piwer and torque than its rival but the RC 125 is definitely the most powerful 125 cc faired motorcycle available in the country.
If you're after pure performance, the KTM RC 125 should be the choice and if you want more praticality as well as riding fun, the R15 V3 is the right one for you.
