    1. I found the handle of the 200 to be smaller than that of the 390. Not much but yes, significant enough to notice.
    2. The bit that extends out at both ends of the handle bar were missing in the 200. (check out the image)
    Too bad, I liked that sound!
    Which showroom did you go to ? Any word on the TRs?

      You are talking about the bar-end weights. The D200 do not have them but the 390 does. Same case with the corresponding RCs.
      The way you ride is the way you are..

        I went to Mekhri Circle KTM. The official word on the TRs is still the same.

        Keep your fingers crossed, you may have a TR report from me soon! oops!

        Yes, that's what I am talking about!

        And did you mean, "Same case with the corresponding dukes"?
        Can we get them added later?

          Not needed, because they are there on 390 to contain the vibes, which are almost non existent on the 200.you can though.those are pulsars barends, wont cost much

            Okay!

            One more thing I did not like in the RC the brake/clutch levers and the grip seemed to be from the Bajaj Discovers!!

              Levers agree.those will be the first things that go off the bike. Grips are good and ktm branded, if you notice closely.The dukes grips are straight lift from pulsars and dont look good apart from being poky.the rc grips are very comfy, have ridden bike close to 15kms.

                  In duke we can change the handle bar to 390s to add on the knuckle protector...
                  I guess we can change handle in rc too

                        Doesnt even look half as good as the 390, the white panel and sticering is fab.btw jfyi, in ktm, bikes with black and orange are less powerful, and those with white orange and black(and usually orange frame) are more powerful.

                            The grips on RCs are of good quality compared to the ones on Dukes... They have KTM branding on them...
                            but agree about the levers...very average quality...
                            planning to get the grips for my D200...

                              Whaat?? Really? I find the 200 livery far more attractive. It has a mean streak to it. The 390 though good, doesn't look so fab. To each his own !!
