    KTM RC 200 & 390 Launch, on 9 September, 2014, deliveries from October: xBhp News

    KTM RC 390 launch has been confirmed by KTM CEO Stefen Pierer for 2014.


    KTM CEO Stefen Pierer confirmed that the RC390 would be launched in 2014 world over. The RC390 built across the KTM Duke 390 engine platform would meet a big demand for affordable, quality sport bikes for the lower displacement class he said.

    The confirmation came in the advent of the ADAC Junior Cup, sponsored by KTM at the German MOTO GP.

    Every Motorcycle has a tale to be told and there is no greater privilage in the life of a rider than to have truly understood what his Motorcycle stands to tell. Some of the greatest stories in the world are not written, they are experienced.

    One of the many reasons they say, "Four Wheels Move the Body, Two Wheels Move the Soul"

    Yes, they share same trellis frame, suspension, exhaust, brakes and everything.

    RC390 will be worth the wait in more than one way .

      ^ Not bad! Did you use P200NS as a base?

      This is how the RC390 might look like.

              This is a great news for the moto enthusiasts. I just hope that, at least the fully-faired version of the 390cc would yield a better top end.

                    With so much going on in the internet, FB & likes, I was waiting for an official news & viola.. A super-duper good news!! This marks another turning point/milestone of biking in India. I am soo confused at "which bike" options now! aaah, if only I had enough moolah for every friggin' machine that comes out in the market..

                      Re: KTM RC 390 launch confirmed for 2014

                      Umm... why does it make 6 less horsepower than the naked 390 duke?

                      And I have no idea how does this bike manage to be nearly 15kg lighter than the 390 duke despite being fully faired. The Duke doesn't have any extra bulk to begin with.

                      Also, this is enough time for Bajaj to wrap up and discontinue CBU/CKD Ninja 300 sales in India. They would be lucky to sell 100 units per year after RC390 is launched.

                        The bike does look cool. However, I am still skeptical whether people will opt for a motorbike with no pillion seat. However, the 2 Dukes in the market have a decent pillion ride.

                          Ninja is a class apart bro.. if I was given a choice between these 2.. i would definitely go for the Ninja 300.. the bike sports a sexy design and the build quality is just fantastic..

                          and I just love that Lime Green color of the Ninja.. besides.. Kawasaki is a Kawasaki Owning a Ninja is like owning a Merc/BMW

                          Duke on the other hand is like owning a Honda.. see the difference..

                            This is a race bike, not meant for street riding. The street version will be launched in 2014. Don't expect the same specs .

                            Power reduction could be either because of race stipulations or something

                              The production bike would have some changes done. i.e Headlight, side indicators, rear view mirrors and a pillion seat would be added. And the bike wont be as light the race spec bike shown above. KTM is changing the biking scenario at a high rate in India
