Yes!! But cleaning it from the inside might be cumbersome. Though like the duke, it might turn out to be sexier when dirtier.Originally posted by rohit.dhawan View PostVery very interesting transparent fairing ... very innovative

I have a feeling that a lot many of us who are very excited by the RC series will be put off by the riding position after test ride. The most sporty position in Indian market. Pure track bike. No means to do touring since I doubt it will have luggage carrying capabilities with that tail. But the best, sexy and beast looking bike in the Indian market. Looks will attarct more people to this. Mind over matter :-)

Already feeling difficult to use 200NS and now RC with even more higher seatOriginally posted by payeng View PostShort guys would be disappointed with the seat height of the RC 200/390.

p
When another member told that he is less than 5'5 and manages to ride an R1 (high seat height ) and I got relieved after that
Touring will be done in RC too.If a naked street bike is being tamed by Indian bikers (D390) on the highway so this can be too.Originally posted by whencut86 View PostI series will be put off by the riding position after test ride.

Re: KTM RC 200 & 390 Launch, on 9 September, 2014, deliveries from October: xBhp News
After yesterday's international launch here are some small snippets that i found from the press kit answered by Sebastian Sekira (Head of KTM Street Development) about the top speed.
IS THE RC 390 FASTER THAN THE 390 DUKE?
The top speed of the RC 390 is higher due to an clearly improved aerodynamic.
WHAT IS THE TOP SPEED OF THE RC 390?--
I'd rather be riding my motorcycle thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my motorcycle.
2012 - Honda Unicorn
2013 - Duke 390 (Booked - Cancelled)
2014 - RC 390 (Waiting)
Comment














I think 175 is low for RC 390 I hope it could do at least 185 - 190 Km speed
