        With LED, headlight looks good. But glass to cover the projector is not present, it will make bad aerodynamics.

              White and black fairing are the two options since it was announced. The black looks Hot!
              I'm just holding my breath for the launch dates.

                The black bike looks like a total beast from the side. Totally digging the exhaust as I previously mentioned. The beak section still not growing on me. Disappointed that the gear ratios are officially still the same.

                    I also just noticed it. It will be good if they can launch this colour here too.

                        Yeah. I hope the RC390 also gets a black colour option.

                          Very innovative what they have done with the pillion seat. Foam seat made to look like a cowl.
                          RC125 is estimated to priced at €4,500 in Europe.

                              In the above video KTM official says that the RC125 is to be priced at 4,500 euros which is 30% higher than D125. So, going by the same percentage hike I guess the RC390 would be priced around Rs.2.65L here which is still competitive IMO.

                                As far as I know, Duke 125 sells at about 4200 euros, by no means they are asking a 30% premium, it's hardly 10% over it's naked sibling, which is certainly a good deal. To compare Yamaha YZF R125 sells at about 4350 euros. Compared to Yamaha, KTM is considered as premium brand in Europe. They were not into small street bikes until they teamed with Bajaj to come up with Duke 125. So, the pricing is absolutely spot on for a small KTM, considering the fact that all these small KTMs now come with ABS as standard.
