Re: Ktm rc 200 vs cbr 250r

RC series hasn't been launched yet and we don't have any concrete info on when it will be launched. So the whole point if this query become invalid.
[MENTION=23793]mod[/MENTION]s.. You guys should not approve such queries. Many 'What Bike' queries are already there which are filled with the same discussion.

Re: Ktm rc 200 vs cbr 250r

I have talked with the ktm showroom guys and they said it's going to be launched on September 9th. And as far as your reply is concerned you can tell me if there's another bike which suits my needs. If you don't know then kindly refrain from replying. Please read the entire post. Cheers

Whoa whoa whoa! You sure got arrogance for a guy who's just 3 posts old.
Cool your heels off, kid. Nobody's your slave here.


And returning to your query, get a used ninja 250.

Re: Ktm rc 200 vs cbr 250r

Lol, was that arrogance? and yeah I'm 3 posts old. But I don't think I've offended anyone here. If I've I'm sorry. I wanted a proper reply . Kid? Seriously? Anyways I don't want to fight. Thanks for your reply. How much would a used ninja cost? And what about the maintenance and fuel economy?

Re: Ktm rc 200 vs cbr 250r

As for used ninja, go check OLX
And for costs, check ninja ownership thread.

You sure want everything spoon fed, dont you?

Re: Ktm rc 200 vs cbr 250r

Re: Ktm rc 200 vs cbr 250r

Cool down there. There is no need to get aggressive.. Nothing Bout the RC200 or RC390 is confirmed. We dont even know which bike is coming on the 9th sept. Some sources say the 200. Some say 390.. some say both.. so nothing is known..

People here have patience and inrequest you to reply patiently. He said that hecause there are many wannabes who join just to ask about a bike which hasnt been launched yet and its been a pain in the ARSE when they keep asking about price and specs blah blah..

What are your requirements?? They are both completely different segments... note down your requirements and then decide.. cbr is a good tourer..

Re: Ktm rc 200 vs cbr 250r

Hmmm I agree didn't mean to be rude, yes I agree they're of different segments. Rc isn't a tourer. Do you think cbr with c abs is worth the extra money or should I go for the non abs as budget is limited.

Chill and peace!!!
Manu it might be that you did not intend to offend anyone knowingly but your words are suggesting otherwise(may be unintentional). The people who have replied to your query are senior members and certainly know a thing or two about biking. So, please read out some similar 'What Bike' threads.
You will only find some speculations on RC200 as it is not launched yet - so, no ownership reviews or positives and negatives. CBR250 is a capable tourer with proven engine and performance. Go through the ownership thread to find out the pros and cons. Suits your budget and expected FE too. If you don't have any urgency, you can wait for the launch of RC200 and at least 2-3 months to get the initial feedback of the same.
Otherwise, go for the new Karizma. Proven performer with some new additions. Though top-end will not differ much, still addition of 45 ccs can be considered a good upgrade. Also, within city, you'll barely get to utilize the full power band of a 225cc. Proven tourer like CBR250. You will be able to save good amount of money and with that, can add some good riding gears to your arsenal.
Choice is yours. Best of luck!

Re: Ktm rc 200 vs cbr 250r

4 years ago, the question was P220 vs RTR 180. Now replace P220 with CBR250 and RTR with RC200. Now do your math and decide what you want.
A Solid Tourer with much better Top end and Comfort(CBR) or a better Handling, Short stroke, Nimble, light weight, brilliant revving Machine(RC).

Re: Ktm rc 200 vs cbr 250r

Beautifully put up and answered sir , I think manu shouldn't go any further or quarrel with anyone ; this post might turn out to be a perfect answer . Nuff said.......

Re: Ktm rc 200 vs cbr 250r

ABS any time mate.. the RC comes with ABS as standard I believe.. non ABS is also a good option if the budget is limited.. but the chances of those extra 30000 in saving your life is more..

give it a thought.. ride both the ABS and Non ABS models and see which you like in terms of braking.. if you are comfortable with non ABS, go for it with no doubt..

P.S. don't go for a newly launched bike as there might be some niggles that the manufacturers will sort out in the later models.. as in, don't go for RC 200 immediately after launch.. wait for it to reach the market and go through ownership reviews for any issues (remember, it is your parents hard earned money (if they are getting it for you)).. besides, the waiting period might be long as they might not be producing many number of bikes unless and until there are requirements.. all this in case you decide to go with the RC200...

Re: Ktm rc 200 vs cbr 250r


Not the 200.

Only the RC 390 comes with ABS.

Dude, getting the CBR at this point in time doesnt make sense, unless you get a substantial discount.

Why dont you wait for the 300R
