    Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched

    Saw an RC390 near Race Course today ... I think we can expect "Motorcycle Ownership thread" soon for RC390... I hope someone also starts RC200 thread so that I can read about it before I take mine... Lets forget about HID/Halogens... Don't hurt people like me who have booked without much R&D ...

    PS : For the HID/Halogen issue... I could not see any bulbs because the headlight assy cover had convex lens like cover... So it was hard to see what was inside... But when I turned the headlights on RC390 it was bright and the highbeam with right lamp also "ON", it was really bright... It was about 12 noon... Whatever it maybe HID/Halogen it was really bright even in daylight...

      luckily the bike was cheaper :P
      though this is just the introduction price
      ...
      Yes! These are introductory prices.

      By the way, any idea after how much time were the prices of the Dukes increased?

        Ownership thread will take time for sure....!

        As of now, even the dealers have not got their first vehicle registered!

        Read my previous post about my conversation with Langford ktm today and mekhri circle ktm yesterday!

        None of them have got the go ahead from fhe RTO yet!

        And... Don't worry about the headlights!

        They are way more powerful, HID or no HID :-D

            It's even more for the straight line method!
            It comes almost 5k extra if I pay 1l DP and the rest in 18 months!

            Plus the 19k something interest!!

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.
              They work at the same time; you switch the high beam on - the low beam is still lit. So you get the "close proximity" light from the low beam and the high beam does it's job at lighting what's ahead. My only concern is, with the new design how good the dispersion of light will be. There is more danger lurking on the bushes/service lane than on the main road on Indian Highways.

              I doubt if this is true, the KTM guys took the bike to Horsely hills( Not Nandi hills I as mentioned earlier). So without the registration or RTO approval they wouldn't be able to do this.
              I have been told the TRs starts next week, have informed them to let me know so that I can do it asap ! :-)

                Don't know man! Different people of the same showroom saying different things!!

                It's so frustrating!!
                Langford guys told you that it's going to start from next month?

                  When I checked with them they said TR next week ( Last week of Sept), the first slot of bikes will be given by Oct 1st or 2nd week. The delivery schedule post that isn't confirmed yet, as they are not aware of how many bikes will be allotted to Bangalore. That being said, I'll keep this thread informed if I do get the message for the TR.

                  I would take this with a pinch of salt, a realistic timeline would be Oct 2nd week or 3rd week for getting the bikes. But you never know :-) The guys at the showroom play it safe, they give you an safer bet in terms of timelines.

                        With halogens, the headlight will be comparable to P220.

                        What do you mean by at that cost?

                        Rc390 is worth every penny that you will pay for this bike.

                        And I have seen them lighed up in showroom.They are quite powerful,not like any other projector halogen like u find in p220

                                That's a good news then. Finally a company had an understanding.
