Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched

[QUOTE=k007sam;I was waiting for a bike which suited my riding style, Flicking, Bending, sudden Breaking and sudden Acceleration etc(though sounds childish, it involves precision beyond your imagination, not to mention the adrenaline), SO the moment I saw the RC, I knew this was the one. Duke really had me going, but the looks didn't reach to my needs, BUT WITH this RC 200, I believe its a "Monster DIO", SLEEK, SMOOTH AND SHARP looking, A perfect upgrade from dio. Does anyone else feel this way? Even the sound is so near to Dio with filter cap removed, mostly better than that only! Its THE Windows XP to Windows 7 upgrade. ALL THAT VISTA(DUKE? LOL) in between is not my up of tea!

Also, another sidenote, a few years back, I saw the Duke riders were riding so weekly, SO SAFE and Silent. [/QUOTE]

So you are that rider who pisses off everyone on the road? Others must brake so you can "bend, stop and accelerate". The precision you are talking about is less likely to be your skills and more the braking of other cars and bikes on the road. Not because they care for you but more because they don't want to deal with the headache of a biker splattered on their windscreen...

Go to a race track and you will know how much of precision you really have, learn a lot and have fun as well too.. Depending on others to keep you safe can hardly be called your riding skills. And did you seriously ridicule a Duke rider for being safe? So he must ride how you feel he should ride?

And switching off bike on slope for mileage? That's really smart, if you get sarcasm.

I really hope you are 18-19, that means there is hope you will mature with time (not years, but miles and riding experience). And I seriously hope you are properly geared for your bending and twisting etc..

One more thing, please work a little on your language and typing in upper case. Your excitement is evident and that is a good thing, but it gets difficult to read.

Enjoy your machines and ride safe. Not slow, Safe..

@k007sam : Honestly kid, you are nothing but a menace for road and road users.
I have read your posts and thread where you actually boasted about your "skills" with dio and trust me when I say, people like you should stick to cycles rather than motorcycles. Its because of kids like you that we face the wrath of society , and not to forget the law too.

Mods : sorry for being blunt and going OT but it was needed.

cool.. the thing is these langford guys are not saying anything solid they tell one thing to person A and another thing to person B, but seriously if deliveries dont start in this week it will be very tough to control emotions, i dont understand arent the KTM guys doing anything about this rather than playing the waiting game.

Just saw a post on KTM Rc Bangalore FB page (THIS IS PAGE IS MANAGED BY LANGFORD KTM) that " orange days are comig "... does this mean any good news about the RTO clearance...

Some comments from my side as well:

Originally posted by k007sam View Post

I don't personally have any close duke friends, but i heard it give hardly 25-30 when ripping and 40-45 when riding casually. I believe this is true, for a 200 cc bike. But in the case of RC, we have added weight, so i might think that the mileage will decrease, but also, the aerodynamics makes the bike slice through air, making it smoother, burning less (almost equal to counter weight increase) fuel and giving more mileage. Moreover this is my first bike(before that DIO 3 years) and I believe I'll be switching off in all the slopes. I don't why others won't ride like that.. doesn't that save fuel? Not all slopes, whenever and wherever possible.

Wow! Let us know what quantity were you able to save? Provided you didn't have to spend elsewhere.
Remember - The transmission must always be engaged on slopes, any direction of the gradient that maybe!

Also, on a entirely different note, ANY DIO RIDERS HERE? If any Honda Dio riders are upgrading to RC 200, (not 390), then I'll tell u exactly what I have in mind. Dio is like a baby RC, (trust me) in other words, any of the RIDERS(RASHEST RIDERS) will see this bike as a god send. I was waiting for a bike which suited my riding style, Flicking, Bending, sudden Breaking and sudden Acceleration etc(though sounds childish, it involves precision beyond your imagination, not to mention the adrenaline), SO the moment I saw the RC, I knew this was the one.

Did you just say that Dukes are slow? Ok, that teenage rush! I get it.
Take this from me; learn to respect the law and fellow road users. Many regret this later.

Also, another sidenote, a few years back, I saw the Duke riders were riding so weekly, SO SAFE and Silent. But now, after their practice session, I see crazy riders, and also, much more daring and braveness. I believe the Duke IS THIS GENERATION's RX. All it took was KTM +(Street Concept) + a few 100 CCs = 200/375 CC of BLLAAAAAST. The next Gen Yamaha RX is the Duke. It has what it takes.

Few years back? How many years back?
Plus, I loved the way you summed up KTMs formula : KTM +(Street Concept) + a few 100 CCs = 200/375 CC of BLLAAAAAST. Why haven't other auto majors understood this?

Sir, we forum members request you to
1. Not be a danger on the road
2. Vent your anger/enthusiasm in a race track (a proper one that is, not an empty road/field) and check your skills to the hilt.

Re: KTM RC 200 & RC 390 Launched

Back to the topic folk!

KTM, Mekhri circle BLR has 4 RCs lined up for delivery. I saw 2 200s at least.
Moreover, I think I saw an RC390 while coming to office. (Sadly, he had no helmet.)

Seems like so!

Edit - lots of OTs and flaming posts here. Request members to remove their posts or I'll do it once my meeting is over here.

The "sightings" are inline with date that KTM Langford said RTO clearance will be done!
Has anyone talked to KTM dealers in Bangalore ?

I think that is incorrect. Somewhere in this thread, there is news of RC delivery in Belgaum
