          This pricing has just killed whatever competition this motorcycle could have had...

            A big question mark over quality and reliability. People were expecting and in a way ready to pay a premium over the naked version anticipating better quality parts. Hope the niggles and issues have been sorted out.

            For 2.05 lac its a loot.

              Neat! I might very well buy one of these within the next 6 months.

              Well, the RC390 has been compared to a two-stroke in terms of feel/fun/acceleration.

              The CBR300 will still have it's place and customer base.
              So will the Ninja 300.

              Three very different bikes. Priced differently too. But I don't see any killing of the competition.

              Unless you count the Mojo. Then yeah... this kicks Mojo butt. (sic)

                Since Ktm has been testing the Rc twins for so long I think quality and reliability will be worth the effort.

                  though they are launching very good bikes at a very good price,but buyers like me who live in odisha cant purchase it cause we dont have enough service centres or showrooms here.Just like nearby service centre is 250kms from my home town.Ktm dont have showroom here where big guns like Royal enfields and other have,

                      Little OT
                      2L pricing for 390 and 1.6 L for 200 revives the hope for pulsar SS.
                      May be for the same 1.6L pulsar 400 SS can be expected.

                      RC series will kill the competition for sure .
                      Hope they maintain quality and provide good service .

                        The only so called competition (in terms of Price Range) is the CBR250R.. numbers of which are actually not that great.
                        The other would be the RE 500 models.. but then RE's appeal to a different set of customers


                        As for me: I want the Pulsar CS 400 at 1.70 Lakhs next..!!!

                            ABS should have been given at least as on option on RC 200 :banghead:

                              Does the 200 comes with ABS as an option?? If yes, then CBR250 is DEAD.
