Also, eagerly waiting waiting for your detailed review??

No one have got to ride the RC200 enough to write a review ???

Please let me know your feedback on the video. I got 11 dislikes on it. 11?? I don't know what bad thing I have shown there! I really don't know! But I got it anyways. I did get 32 likes as well. But people are telling me, it's a hater attack! Trolls!
Honestly guys, tell me, if I have made some grave error in the video. This kind of thing bothers me! I know I am holding back footage for the main video but still! This is too much. Really appreciate your feedback on it.
Likes on the video page to combat the trolls is also greatly appreciated!

I live in Kolkata. So I took it on Belghoria expressway. and then from there I continued on to NH-2 (Delhi Road) --- I went close to Burdwan. I also went a little off the highway to, take a few corners on some nice curves.

I watched the video for the it but did not see any cornering!!

Also, were you able to lay your hands on the RC200? Would like to know about what you have to say about that?

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched

Keeping the cornering for the final review... No RC 200 yet, but I have asked for it!

Maybe because it looks like a lengthy 6 min video that only shows a couple of fixed 1st person camera perspectives without any commentary and you can't see much of the bike, and the console too isn't visible clearly. Try fitting the camera on the 2nd bike or fix it on the side of the road if possible sometimes so that the rc390 can be seen better, and maybe add some commentary. I liked your video btw.

Killer, thanks for posting. How does the lap timings compare with Duke 390? Is the track focussed approach show up in timings?
What is your take on RC 390? can it be used in day to day riding without breaking back?

May be they were expecting more talk .
I loved the video and especially the sound when the cam is placed near exhaust .

Trollers will exist how much ever you perfect it just treat them as jobless people and do what you love .

For more likes try posting something like RC390 beats XXX in highway

i think if you are used to riding R15v2 or some other bike with fairly forward-leaned riding posture, then it shouldnt be a problem riding the RC390 on a day to day basis through traffic etc (despite the fact that according to most people the RC390 has higher leaned riding posture, but it's not a world of difference).

if one is not used to such a riding posture, then it will take a bunch of time but still should eventually be not much of a problem...

it's mostly dependent more on the rider itself whether he has kept his body unrelaxed and tight while riding and whether he can manage his pains from becoming strong while riding these aggressively postured bikes such as the RCs or R15v2 or whatever on a day to day basis...best thing is to adjust and move around or stretch and twist and untighten your body accordingly from time to time while riding (and not stopping on the side) these bikes if it's paining a lot...

Actually the difference of lean is a lot more from the R15 but, somehow the ergonomics work and it's manageable. More on it when I review it!

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

I have 95% more footage this is the just a preview video ahead of the real thing... here is a snap from an actual video...

While the video is ok I didn't feel you showcase anything other than a bike going fast on highway- no audio about whats being tried or even a good shot of the bike doing some speed or corners, its just miles after miles of biking with nothing happening in particular and this is probably what contributed to some dislikes. Your full review might have those details but in this video there is nothing intresting to watch IMO.

I agree .. I started seeing the video having higher hopes .. but it was just miles of road .. not even clear shot of the speedometer. Wanted to dislike it but refrained. If u want to build up excitement .. do it like this

Not like the boring vid.
