    RC390 it will be, with subtle differences from D390 like different starter coil, plus the radiator fan of RC 390 would work only in 1 direction as opposed to Duke 390's, because the heat will blow out from the fairings.

    At least this is what a reliable source says here in Delhi.

    Cheers
    Akshay

    Saw an RC - matt black with no graphics/ branding but with orange rims in HSR, Bangalore. I did not see DRLs (or may be it was day time and hence un-noticeable, but then does not serve its purpose does it :P ). The bike sounded 'normal' - meaning unlike a duke (no offence). It appeared to be compact with the riding stance not be aggressive. Looking forward to this one!

    The distance from the handlebar to the rear portion of the seat seems pretty long. If one sits as far back as possible, it should provide a very aggressive posture I guess.
    In this angle it seems its designed and developed for racing in the track and not for on road. Camera angle could have been on error.

    I recently test drove a Duke 200 and when I asked about RC390 the KTM dealer in Chennai mentioned about a bike coming to each showroom in September and bookings around that time. Deliveries will take 2-3 months after September.

    RC 125 first ride review by Visordown

    And boy does the setup work. Our two-hour stint on a test track was perhaps the most telling of how capable the little RC really is. There’s no excessive fork dive under heavy braking or loss of composure over bumpy surfaces, instead the bike accurately slices into and out of corners just how you’d expect a 140kg lightweight to do.

    Despite - rather disappointingly - being fitted with Indian budget tyres, ‘MRF Revs’ to be precise, what impressed me no end was the level of feedback from the front end.
    The lack of engine braking you find in small engines always takes some getting used to but in this case highlighted perhaps the weakest link in the RC 125 chain - the braking setup. Despite sporting braided lines, large brake discs and a radial four-cylinder caliper at the front from Bybre, a sub-division of Brembo; the brakes had a hard time of keeping up with the rest of the bike.

    to be complete, it should mention rider height for which the above illustration is intended..i am about 5.7/8 in height and am more leaned forward on my R15v2 than what the above picture seems to show...rider height matters in these things.
