KTM RC200 and RC390 Now Launched in India

[Dezire]

That the KTM RC series is almost at our doorsteps is a highly known fact, it has become for sure that the upcoming models have already entered the production stage at BAL-KTM’s manufacturing facility. While one of these images show the KTM RC125, the other image is of the big brother RC390.

Akin to the Duke series, the new KTM RC125, while being manufactured in India, won’t go on sale here in our country. However, the RC390 and the RC200 are indeed coming to us and could be launched anytime soon.

KTM RC200

•Expected Launch Date- Mid 2014
•Expected Price- INR 1,40,000- 1,55,000
•Engine- 200 cc
•Power- 26 PS

The excitement around the launch of the upcoming KTM RC200 is fast building up and it is being said that the RC200’s global launch will shortly be followed by its launch in India, which will of course happen this year. Powering the KTM RC200 will be a retuned version of the Duke’s DOHC single cylinder 200cc engine that is likely to have a max power output of 26 PS. The bike looks sharp and racy and could have a price tag of INR 1,40,000-1,55,000. The KTM RC200 is easily among the most awaited motorcycles in the biking fraternity of our country.

KTM RC390

•Expected Launch Date- mid 2014
•Expected Price- INR 2.2 lakhs
•Engine- 375 cc
•Power- 46 Bhp

Also coming our way is the bigger KTM RC390, which would be to the RC200 what the Duke 390 is to the Duke 200. Very similar to RC200 in terms of looks, the KTM RC390, which boasts of considerably more power than the RC200, is also expected to be launched in mid 2014. As we’ve been saying, the RC390 will become one of the sportiest middle weight performance bikes in India and will offer a sportier performance than the Duke 390. Also, it would ask for a slight premium over the Duke sibling and could have a price tag of INR 2.2 lakhs. Powering the RC390 is a 375 cc engine with an expected max power of 46 BHP.

It will indeed be interesting to see which of the two models, RC 200 and RC 390, would become the more popular of the two models.

The RC390 will beat the Ninjas and the GT250Rs up and down in all factors !
Be it price or engine or weight or features or safety, the RC390 has everything !

 

[bharathbigb]

Yeah,RSVB That's for sure.The price is mouthwatering for a Standard ABS,Water cooled,Fuel injected 375cc bike and with Metzellers,where one only used to get a 250cc bike.But One thing is against the RC Dukes and it is the looks.I don't think everyone will like it as it ain't everyone's forte'.For me also the looks doesn't appeal and IMHO,I feel the Hyosung Comet R GT 250R V-Twin looks the better than any 250cc bike here in India.It uses the BIG IS BOSS ! Mantra whereas the RC 390 is SLIM BEAUTY Mantra.Thank you

 

[RVSB]

IMHO,I feel the Hyosung Comet R GT 250R V-Twin looks the better than any 250cc bike here in India.

Do you mean the naked kinetic version or the full faired one ?

 

[bharathbigb]

I meant the New latest version which is the Fully faired version.Ofcourse it looks a bit dated but I love it bro.Thank you

 

[RVSB]

Did you compare it with Ninja 250R???
See the comparsion with our three well known quarter liter bikes!(see attachment)

 

[bharathbigb]

Defenitly the Hyosung GT 250R will be my pick.Ninja will be a Wise Guy's Pick but I love to take risk.I will take the So-called "Korean Cheap Non-reliable product" and Try to prove you all How reliable it is.I am saying this strongly because there are Many Ol' Comet Rs Chugging along merrily for Nearly 10 years.Thank you

 

[RVSB]

Bro, Don't get serious bro!
I didn't say that Hyosung is ugly or cheap or non reliable or anyother things.
Each bike is unique in its own category. Example Honda in touring, Ninja in performance and I dont know about the Hyosung's nature.
What I was trying to say is people prefer to have Ninja as the best looking in their list.
And do you know? Many people doesn't know a bike called GT250R and even the brand Hyosung in Chennai

 

[TheMotorRomeo]

The KTM RC390 looks mean.
It is smashing.

Yeah, probably meant for the "fit" crowd because the sitting ergonomics will induce back ache/palm ache if the rider is not fit.

Nevertheless, for its price, it is true vfm.
