    The side exhaust spec RC 390s are export models. I dont know what you mean by "different" tail section. Its the same when I compared the 2015 version with the 2016

    Saree guard is also the same. Even if the design of the Saree guard is different, I dont see how that is a 'change' so to speak.

      Oh okay maybe the side exhaust is for the export model, but i saw them on road with a TC number so i won't say much on that.
      By different tail section i meant the number plate holder where the number plate is put. One of the bike had the normal 2014/15 type number plate holder with no mudguard and the other one had the holder like the ones you find on the cbr.



      See how the mudguard in both the bikes differs from each other.

      And the saree guard design was changed in style.


      Kind of like the hornet 160, fat and beefy.

        I see. Well I did not notice any difference. RC never had a mud guard. Only a tire hugger.

        THe saree guard is really just a formality. Only KTM owners will remove it as soon as they get the bike. Its a stupid law if you ask me.

          Msgd them on facebook. 1850/- & 3600/- for front and rear... inclu courier.

          Will it make a huge difference between only front vs front & rear ?

                        Not really! Just curious, at times when he battery is weak, etc, we avoid using the light, etc. Or in future if we want to go to HIDs, Bi-Xenon's, won't the absence of the headlight on/off switch make some difference?

                                Congrats Rakshit. Can you post some photos of the engine left/right sides, front brake rotor and rear and overall snaps of the bike, top view of the handlebar, etc, it'd help 2016 buyers to get an pretty good insight. [MENTION=24497]Veeral[/MENTION], I'd personally suggest you to get them front brake pads.
                                Cheers!

                                Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
                                The girl said, 'NO!'


                                And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


                                THE END
