          Deliveries should start in Diwali.

          The RC is every bit a sportsbike! Big bikes have this big block of engine between your legs. This doesn't! It's light and agile. It changes direction quickly.The gearing on this particular bike was shorter. You have to rev it hard to get a punch. Just like a race bike where everything happens in the high revs. The position from torso to handlebars is 100% supersports. Shorter riders might find this bike a little inconvenient. Seat height is definitely high. It is quite narrower than R15. But taller and longer than it. There are 3-4 different configurations of this bike being tested. Don't know which one was on that bike. I was thinking of this bike as my daily commuter. But the power is too low for me[RC 200]. Maybe that's because I ride a Z800 Don't know yet, might buy it next year. Lets wait for the quality reports.

          But for the people who are wanting a supersports, just go for it! It is definitely a level up on R15 and much racier than CBR 250.

              damn, the single cyl 200 puts out 25HP at 10000 with a wet weight about 9-10kgs more than the R15v2 !! this one's gonna rip...considering that, i am wondering why the single cyl 390 gives "only" (:P) 43HP at 9000 and not about 47/48 HP :P oh right, it weighs about 10kgs more than the 200...

              either way, with a wet weight of about 156-158 kgs, the RC390 has the kind of weight that was more or less expected of it...would have been even more kickass (power-wise) if it was a twin cyl churning out over 50HP or so :-D

              i just hope it reviews great over the years..all eyes and ears on reviews of its actual performance/handling and reliability/durability over rough (as in frequent ripping) usage..gotta be like the R15v2 at that, if not better.

              btw @nitrosatya - any chance you looking to donate your Z800 ?

                        Loved that video, especially the last scene. Would love to take that bike to beautiful, curvy roads like that. Thanks for posting.
