on a sidenote heard akra slip on cans n even gpr cans on 390. it does turn the bike's sound up.

Re: KTM RC 390 Launch confirmed: xBhp News
it was really compact, more sleek than the CBR but, the seating position was more like the R15. i saw a pillion with him and tht was not comfortable.Originally posted by jackofsome View Postwas it compact? how was the seating position? how was the sound? so many questions in my mind!
please bajaj make the mechanicals reliable at least. pleasee
the sound was something that felt out of place like the headlight, but it still looked amazing... it is one of those bikes which will be eye catching and also fun to ride....

Re: KTM RC 390 Launch confirmed: xBhp News
Saw the RC 390 testing in pune on Saturday afternoon near the expressway, looked amazing and by the way the person was riding the aggressiveness of the duke 390 has been changed to the subtle sportiness. the seat looked more comfortable then the DUKE.
and true, the headlight looks stupid, kind of destroys the whole front look.
seeing the increased frequency of the testing, looks like the launch is very close....Leave a comment:

Re: KTM RC 390 Launch confirmed: xBhp News
I was really waiting for this Bike as i am bored riding my pulsar 220 dtsi (and it's flaws). And being marketed by Bajaj, it already has me thinking what noise that fairing would produce after 6 months. (Fairing Noise on my P220 persists till date - 5 years now)
After all my wait, the design has got me off. It's unique and sharp but it does not appeal my liking. I will still wait to see this bike in person and then probably take a decision.
I hope this bike comes with the same goodies, if not the same power of the 390.Leave a comment:

Re: KTM RC 390 Launched: xBhp News
Ha anyone got any information about the possible colour choices? I want something in black and they might launch at least one more colour like they did for duke 390. Personally I have zero issues with exhaust sound, somehow it has never been important, so that's one less heart ache for me.
If any one has any contacts in high places I would like to know if they plan on launching more than one colour.
As for the headlights I too thought they were an eyesore initially but the design is slowly growing on me. I think I am going to like the bike..Leave a comment:

Re: KTM RC 390 Launched: xBhp News
Exhaust sound in bikes matter more than it does in cars. It may be something non-functional but it is a very important aural character people identify bikes with. KTMs exhaust sound is muted ttrrrr.. which I don't like one bit but I will force myself to overlook this since there are third party add-ons. But I have read that even they don't make not much difference to KTMs, sigh..Leave a comment:

Re: KTM RC 390 Launched: xBhp News
I too agree that they screwed up the headlights in their quest for making something 'unique'. But I really don't care as the whole package is fantastic. In fact, I don't even care about the sound. The only thing that gets me worried about is its quality.Leave a comment:

Brilliant reply!Originally posted by xionite View Postbingo!
privileged?
it's manufactured in Pune, (it's practically a glorified Pulsar 
) so it's bound to be sold at "a friendly price". 
KTM is not doing anyone a favour. feeling privileged has nothing to do with anything.

yup. JUST the headlight. the two bike's are not being compared here.
just the design language of the headlight.
the rest of the RC390 design is top-notch.

Re: KTM RC 390 Launched: xBhp News
Is it because of the dual headlight? Compare the visor design (just the visor; the rest of the bike design is incomparable) of the two bikes. They're miles apart. The RC 390's visor is wrapped around the upper fairing. I think its modern and classy.Originally posted by nitrosatya View PostLeave a comment:

Re: KTM RC 390 Launched: xBhp News
n i think that looks hot n different in front of th ubiquitous twin headlamp sportbikes of today.everybody makes these.Originally posted by nitrosatya View Post
coming to the sound i would say it definitely has a character of its own. i mean every time a duke passes by you know its a duke and nothing else. yes you may not like the sound though personally.
