                  I guess they look slick coz of the poor resolution. From what I heard, they will carry the same set of metzeler tyres as on the duke 390.

                    Launching the bike with slicks is impractical as they are strictly for track use. They wont even last a few days on Indian roads! The tyres here appear slick cuz of the poor resolution or because the bike has been ridden crazy causing those metzelers to wear off!

                    Absolutely right. Infact the only obvious visual diffrentiation between RC200 and RC390 is the set of tyres.

                            Haha.. Same thing is being said for Yamaha for really long now and now look people are drooling over their new product. So no 'potential' customers has been lost.
                            Its really good that KTM is taking their time in testing the bike in Indian conditions (its for our own good).
                            Wait patiently till then.

                            Ride safe and have fun.

                                It will come soon. Most spy shots we see show a complete bike and looks like only testing is left (and hopefully will be completed soon).
                                Keep the money ready and bang !! Rev the rc
