    I so wish they increase that limit to 150 atleast!!

    Well KTM is seriously working hard to iron out all the issues that the former batches experienced!!! Really a good thing for potential buyers!!
    Any major difference in RC390 engine department or just mapping difference from D390??

    What's the top attainable speed on 200!?

    RC390, indicated top speed 179km/h. Hits rev limiter in 6th gear.
    Not sure if the exhuast is stock/Akra, but it seems to accelerate better than Duke at speed>140 (as expected).


    PS On hearing closely, I think it is the stock exhaust.

    Of course they are. Bigger one is a powerpart accessory.

    I dont think it covers the headlight. Its a higher windshield . Nothing else. The first bike in the pic is race model without headlights. You can see higher windscreen on the second bike as well.

    Where in India would you guys ride at 185+ speeds :/

    But the bike looks sexy..
    Even 170 is plenty in my opinion.

    But a higher top speed helps us to cruise with the engine relatively unstressed.

    As per motorbeam, the KTM RC 200 will be priced at Rs. 1.72 lakhs (approx) while the RC 390 will be priced at Rs. 2.40 lakhs (approx) (all prices on-road, Delhi).

    Meanwhile the Duke 200 is priced at Rs. 1.52 lakhs while the Duke 390 is priced at Rs. 1.96 lakhs.
    The price difference between the Duke 200 and RC 200 is Rs. 20,000/- but the price difference between the Duke 390 and RC 390 is Rs. 44,000/-.
