- First ride back with the KTM RC 125 after not riding for 4 months. Haven't even unleashed its full potential yet as I'm still running it in but I'm already impressed.
Shout out to Craigs Motorcycles, as they were really helpful with the whole process of buying, check them out on facebook here:

My left ear enjoyed this very much !
+brannmansam2 haha oh no please don't start that, I know it took me like a few months to realise that my mic just records in the left channel, so at this point I didn't balance the levels. I've only got computer speakers so you can't really tell :/
+brannmansam2 Pro Tip: If you're using 3.5mm headset, just pull it slightly out and it will balance between left and right ;)
Almost 1000 views! 🙋thanks guys :)
1,102 now ;) and an extra sub ;) , nice video , cant wait to get this bike , roll on september!!!
Rageous Biker haha thanks man, and yeah not riding for 4 months almost killed me, I thought about the day of me getting this bike every single night!
NICE!, i know te pain of not ridin man
Hi I'm going to collect the exact same bike from Craig's in July. I will have only passed my cbt the day before. What's the ride like back to Manchester. Would it be suicidal for me to attempt this? Or will It be fine. The way I figure it they are just a roads or is there some real twisty hairy turns
There aren't any sharp bends or anything, I just remember it being super windy when I was coming over the tops of the hills
Legend for the video bro didn’t even know they had a motorbike shop in dewsbury I’m from Huddersfield so going to go down sometime through week and have a look “ looking for a ktm rc 125 “ myself it saves me going down to keighley or Manchester for one ! How’s the bike ownership been so far
Oh didn’t realise the video was so long ago 😂🤦🏻♂️
Yeahh unfortunately the bike was stolen shortly after I got it so the few videos you see of it are the only times I really rode it.
@@DanTheTwoWheeler argh yeah bro I saw the video , you still doing your other UA-cam channel danthefourwheeler ? Also I went to Craig’s motorbikes but unfortunately they sold out on the RC125 2023 model as they were only RRP £3699 but they have the new 2024 model in and weirdly it’s RRP is £6000 😳 mental … so gonna try look at other dealers and try find one , hope your doing okay bro !
Just how I was in the first couple miles on my RC125 last week. I definitely forgot to cancel my indicator a few times ;)
if you don't mind me asking how much was it? only asking as the 2017 model is £4300
+mark hill Erm I think it was £4500
DanTheTwoWheeler would you recommend one then?
DanTheTwoWheeler what year is the ktm?
I dont have the decals or akra pipe on my rc but to be honest I like it stock. Turns many heads especially in town haha. Enjoy the rc its a beautiful bike to look at and ride!
Initially I liked the look of the stock version but then the decals grew on me after seeing them in real life and no way man how can you not have that Akra, I dunno what I'd do without it. The sound when you get towards 7500-9000 rpm is just phew spine tingling especially through tunnels. Plus people actually move out the way now because they hear me coming :)
DanTheTwoWheeler im saving for a Scorpion pipe haha. I perfer it as its smaller than arka and I think it sounds better. My mum thinks 400 for it is a waste of cash but I love the way it sounds so I gotta have it soon haha! I will defo be taking the L plate off the front of mine when I get it back. After seeing ures without it it looks the business!
Yeah scorpion pipes sound goooood, I got this Akra for free in the deal I got so I'm pretty happy with it and yeah trust me the way this bike looks police don't even bat an eye lid if you haven't got l plates on cos it looks like a much bigger bike.
DanTheTwoWheeler we gunna have to meet up at some point this summer, have a meet for the 125's! 2 RC's and some R125's haha
Yeah defo, we'll try and sort something out :)

can you not ride this bike on a cbt as its a 15bhp... cbt is 14.7 right?
No CBT is up to 15 so you should be fine :)
the breathing is real!!!
Sweet ride buddy mate sure you lock her down good
Thanks and yeah will do :)

Hi! What can you say about the maneuverability of this bike?
MrRundas It's agile in terms of how responsive it is to counter steering and the feedback from the front end, but the turning circle isn't great (you wouldn't expect a supersport to have a good turning circle) so all in all it's not bad, I go through traffic every day, its fine at filtering but maybe not the best and getting through tight gaps where you'd have to turn to go through them. If you check out my full review video in the handling section (see description) you'll see me talk about it a bit more :)
DanTheTwoWheeler Thanks a lot, I'll see your review. I asked the question because I am undecided between this and the duke.
MrRundas Yeah quite a few people are :/
And what do you suggest about it?
MrRundas it really depends on the individual and what you'll be using it for, the Duke is properly better in terms of going in and out of traffic and maybe for wheelies and stuff ;) but personally I prefer the supersport look of the rc plus it's more aerodynamic and better in the corners due to the chassis and the smaller wheelbase etc
my mates had an error code come up on his 6 month old bike.. JY_1.3.1 any ideas anyone?
how is your cm?
cool bike, how much did you pay for it?
Got it on finance :) but I think it retails for around 4 and a half Gs
DanTheTwoWheeler Yea it costs 4.595 Euros :D I m gonna get this bike in a year ! !!!!!
seliXo good stuff man, I'm still running it in but I can already tell it's a great bike.
DanTheTwoWheeler And the look of it is just amazing! :D
seliXo Me too dude, when I turn 16 ;)
Top Speed?
Duoho I've heard its 84mph but I personally haven't had the chance to try it out :)
Okey
Thx ;)
Buying mine from craigs motorcycles this month, they are only 2999 now! :D
+Daz Turner Wow really, nice!
When will it come in India??
I'm sure it's already out?
Means??
big baby
🍼
This boots Richa?
They're black waterproof boots
Don't bother with Richa mine feel apart in a couple of monthes
how tall are you?
Just under 6ft
+DanTheTwoWheeler ok, thanks. cuz I'm about 6ft4 and today when I got to sit on the rc I felt like I was too tall. I really want to have a supersport, but looking at my height it probably will be a supermoto, like the Yamaha wr 125 x.
+Dricofficial yeah just get what feels most comfortable then :)
02:59 I thought I recognised Dewsbury
noo, i'm italian and this is a fantastic bike!!! i want it but i'm 14 :'(
me too... ehm.. anche io
ma a te sarà la tua prima moto?
Nic....Bike.....
