    Lets say it would come with 43bhp which in my limited knowledge will be the configuration, it should go better than the Ninja (I really don't care about the extra vibes which is almost non existent in N300).

    I actually wanted to book a Ninja and i stopped because of this as i can wait to save a cool ~1.5 lacs and go better(in all probabilities).
    But seriously it hints towards a seriously fast weekend ride with supersports riding position, aerodynamics and wind protection.

        Yes you are right my friend I want a ride for the weekends. In weekdays I'm not leaving my car(formals and high powered bikes and sweaty underarms don't match in my opinion).
        So my priorities are more inclined towards what supersport bikes has to offer, heck i even searched for rearset pegs and stiffening up the suspension to the highest setting if i would have bought a N300.
        So I would love to give my back a little of a tough time in the weekends in quest of some good cornering and speed.
        P.S.- I just hope they retain the supersport posture of the race bike shown and not dilute it to make it a 'jack of all trade' one.

          One should not wait for a bike today more than a 6 months...Because today india is growing and many models are lined up to be launched...

          So it won't be a dead end anytime to choose anything ahead...Choose something and enjoy it ...ride it happily...

              Hi nitrosatya, just curious to know why you didn't go for GT250R. It too has a proper racing style seating position and handle bars and size too! Decently powered. But yeah, it's expensive for what it offers. Or were you looking for more power?

                Korean Hyosung quality is definitely not like the Japanese or European! Hope that will answer it.

                This KTM RC390 might be my commuter in future.

                This December or March next year I will be getting myself a proper 4 cylinder super-sportsbike! The GT250R was never in the equation!

                  Yeah!
                  Actually very very few people in this country echo the same thoughts which i have. Sadly everybody wants an all-rounder at the end of the day, which makes manufacturers go the softening out way.
                  Baja.. Get down and out with the RC390 NOW!

                    I am one of you guys. I want the RC390 for its race spec nature, nothing else. I own a daily ride(D200) and a drag spec monster(P250) now I need a proper track bike just for the weekends or even the weekdays ( anytime I want it actually :P ).

                        ^Hmm. Not so sure about the angel light LEDs. I will do a cleanup of this image. Will post it asap.

                          Honestly speaking with this kind of a bodywork profile nothing else comes up except for a dual projector stacked one over the other.Its too slim for dual side by side headlights.
                          Il try put some on the cleaned up image you posted.Would you mind editing the wheels to black? It should be cool with just the orange trellis!

                            The headlight would be similar to the RC8, the 390 wont have projectors side by side neither one above the other. the Headlight carries similar design throughout the KTM bike range, from the duke 200 to the RC8. Same with the console.

                              Ya its obvious it will take cues from the rc8 but i would love to see a blacked out two projector(dare i say 220 like) setup. It would give a very mean streak to the bike

                                What would happen if it gets the headlight same as that of the big RC8?
