Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched

One of the advantages of rc is dual projectors so can someone comment on spread and focus of lights.
I tested the bike in daytime but I'm curious about the quality of projectors.

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched


Yes ecu has been remaped for more top end and mid range power. The low end AKA initial power will be lower than duke. But top speed will increase. All else is same.

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched


At least they gave the option to fit abs on the rc200. Also this bike is meant for people who just have a genetic need to go fast. Such people care not for breaking man. Guys who ride heavier bikes are a diffrent breed who look for reliability not flikability. Solid grip not burnouts. Its a whole other segment bro.

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched

They had option for abs on duke 200 also right? And can we install abs on rc200 from showroom itself??

First of congrats bro. Do post picks upon delivery of your ride and welcome to ktm family you're gonna have so much fun.
Secondly. Check their checklist to see if they gave you everything.
Check odo to see how much its run and oil window to see if they put oil in it (believe me they forget).
Check for visible damage like scratches and loose panels.
Check overall function of each component from ignition key to turn indicators.
Then ride it to see if its running fine.
Then if satisfied sign for it. Post delivery checklist is on another thread in the ownership experience forum.

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched


Yes you can. And service guys will actually usually tell you about it without asking. Because there are more accident case 200s in the service centre than ones that have come for checkup.

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched


Spread is fine but not great. Focus is good. Daytime it serves no purpose other than to look pretty. But at night it is a bit better than duke's lights.

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched

Well.. I think we should drive more sensibly given the high power of the vehicle.. Not blame the company..
Hope it gives good lighting especially in places like where I live.. People driving with high beam hitting in your eyes are pretty much common.. Hopefully the low beam can tell me what I'm about to hit.. Coz it blinds the eye to see what's near..

LOL mate, you serious ? :O :|

instead of writing essays on braking's increasing importance (and the importance of required skill to brake sensitively) the faster one rides and how it's one of the most most important factors to pay attention in motorcycle engineering and in racing, let me just say that each and every professional racer and non-professional but skilled and serious road riders will be baffled by what you said about how people who have the need for speed dont need to care for braking. no offense but can't stop loling and getting baffled at your statement myself.

if braking is not cared for by people who have the genetic need for speed i wonder why in every sportriding schools around the world half the time is spent on teaching, learning and discussing the ultra-importance of correct braking skills on track as well as on the road and why brakes often form one of the primary deciding factors deciding the outcomes of a motogp race, why in the pro-reviews of any kind of bikes and in particular of sportbikes the bike's brakes are one of the main things talked about on which a major percentage of the bike's judgment is based, and so on and so on..not to forget sensitive technical/skilled braking is massively fun.

no offense but kindly refrain from spreading this kind of non-sensible, ideologically wrong/faulty and inexperienced ideas :-) people get injured and even killed because they or someone else were going way faster than they could properly brake..

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched

Duke headlights have decent visibility and spread in night much better than r15's dual lamps.
But I expected the rc projectors to perform much better than duke's reflector setup. So much for dual projector lamps.
Hope we could get some pics that would give us a clearer idea.

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched

Can u let.me know more of it?? About the cost and all

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched


AFAIK. ABS is not even an option for RC200 in India....

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched

May be it's because duke 200 sells in more volume and most people buy it as their first motorcycle and can't handle the power
Duke 200 brakes are real good and it doesn't need abs honestly. But its always good to have abs as feature.

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched

i really liked your helmet graphics.

Any chance you know about any good riding gear store in DELHI NCR, I want to buy some gear to go with RC390,but I am never sure about size/fitting until I could actually try it.Hence, a bit reluctant on ordering such stuff online.

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched


Driving sensibly means you're less likely to cause an accident. But most accidents with the duke happen because some idiot gets in your way. There is no honest way to prevent this.

Yes it should help. If not to create visibility but to blind the other loser who don't know about low beam. Lol😜
