    Also guys anybody has any information on the sticker which we see in the pic for RC200 the sales guy told me it not yet launched !!!

    I don't know if it's only me,but both rc200 and 390 seem to be photoshopped ?

    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.

    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. 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. 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.

    Hmm I understand now, but at first glance i got about how you booked it online now and got delivery now. So now i get it, U booked it on 9th or 10th online and getting delivery now.

    Yeah I know we can book online, I booked it, they called me, told me to pay the money, then I rethought that it may get delayed online, server error that this and all, and went to showroom. So Now I know, KTM's servers are trust able.

    YOU LUCKy
    What the heck did I just read?
    Please refund 10 minutes of my life that you just snatched away.

    For your riding style ( the flicking, bending sudden braking and sudden acceleration), isn't the Duke a better choice than the RC?
    On the same note, you switch off your engine on slopes to save fuel ( not a good idea), yet to go for sudden acceleration and braking? Smart ;-)

    Now my favorite part of this saga : I honestly laughed at how you talked about filtering! It does require skills and b@lls of steel or just a disregard for safety, even more in Bangalore with our ricks, and the Volvo buses( that think can turn like crazy).! I can understand how it is fun, but trust me, one wrong move by you or anyone else on the road will not end well.
    Someday you will grow up and find out it's actually fun to ride the bike in a way you can keep riding for long.

    Cheers!

          Maybe you are right!

          But it is surely surprising to see race stickered rc390 and rc200 when people are unable to get hand on a single rc390

              It seems the colour scheme for Atom Orange has specifically been matched for rc390 and the designing sure does looks cool.

                  The helmet colour scheme matches really well with RazoR!!! Congrats

                  How does the helmet perform especially in terms of wind noise?
