    They have given the vehicle for approval, for that only they have kept that bungee clip looking thing on the right side.. The vehicle need to be approved by the vehicles department... Only after that they can use it on road. They said by this week it will be available for TD.

          Would you happen to know if those projectors house HIDs or Halogens?
          I'm guessing Halogens, aren't HIDs banned/illegal ? Or is it the other way around?

            Those are not halogens, rather some sort of high-end, energy-saving LEDs, as was told by the showroom guys!

              You can still talk to your ktm showroom guy to change your booking to rc390 without any other cost incurred,while their's still time...

                Can you point me to something which says these are Halogens & not LEDs, would help in clearing the confusion!

                      For the money they are asking, they should have provided HIDs.
                      With halogens, the headlight will be comparable to P220.

                        One thing amuses me is that there are many folks who were expecting this bike to be priced even cheaper.dont know whats their perspective on this.
                        Contrary to that, i was expecting the rc to be priced at around 2.6-2.7, with high quality parts and more exclusivity.

                            May I ask why? The p220 run on 55W(?), these run on 55+65w! Not that I have a problem with KTM giving HIDs, but still curious about your statement.

                            PS : Are HIDs legal ? I have been looking into this and I cant find a credible source that says it is. But the luxury segment cars are running on HIDs, so I'm a lil confused.

                              i expected it to be 2.65+
                              luckily the bike was cheaper :P
                              though this is just the introduction price

                              True that ! hid's without projectors are illegal but otherwise it is legal

                                I'm guessing both headlights aren't H4, meaning focus is in different directions. It would have been best if both had upper and dipper. Granted P220 has best in class headlights but when upper is turned on, dipper turns off & vice versa. I wished both could work at the same time. Take another example of R15, it has useless dipper and when you switch to upper, there is absolutely no light for nearby roads.

                                In other words, on all indian bikes,
                                When using upper at high speed, you can avoid crashing into some obstacles but you would never know what it really was.
                                When using dipper at high speed, you at least see clearly what you are crashing into.

                                I only wish there was something in between.

                                There are a lots of things that we do in our daily life are illegal. It all boils down what price you are willing to pay for your safety.
                                OEM HIDs are legal. Anything that's not RTO/ARAI approved is illegal. Even when you change the profiles of your tyres or you put Akrapovič, that's all illegal.

                                Like Rahul baba once said, legal & illegal are just a state of mind.
