    ^^ yes, test vehicle but it was not covered from head to toe like usual, headlights and parts of main fairing were without cover.
    So, were you able to see the indicators? Seems like the Indian version is not getting integrated indicators.

    I really doubt if it can do 170 even on the gauge, agreed it has fairing but the engine is the same and it now has more weight and probably peaks out at 14k rpm (?)
    Hopefully with slightly higher cost they are going for quality components.

    same here, however the quality issues and complaints of fellow riders is pushing me away from KTM
    The initial few batches of every new bike has issues. Now with time, the issues are becoming less common.

    I was at the Probiking East Mumbai, as per them RC 390 bookings should open next month. Should be around 2.4L on road. A comparo- Duke 390 is 2.08L on road Mumbai.

    Also, by the year end we should expect a single cylinder 250 cc Ninja at around 3L on road.
    If that's true, the pricing is pretty steep

    As per the news circulating the first to be released is RC200 followed by RC390 a few months later, so the latter is more likely a 2015 launch.

    Well I didn't get to see any badging but going by the speeds it was doing I deduced it to be a 390. I was finding it hard to keep up with Thunderbird 500. Also it had orange rims and trellis frame. Could've been a 200 also but definitely a RC. The exhaust note was slightly deeper and not exactly same as Duke. But still you can make out that it's a KTM bike from the sound.
