Which one is best: KTM RC 200 or RC 390? Can I defeat RC 200 with RC390?

02 January 2023 06:38

The RC390 is definitely better. It is a mighty powerful motorcycle. It derives power from a 373cc engine pumping out 43 BHP and 35 NM of torque. Now compare this to RC200's 199 cc engine which produces 24.6 bhp and 19.2 NM of torque. Clearly, the RC390 is leagues ahead of the RC200. So rest assured, you can defintely defeat RC200 with RC390. Also, the RC390 can hit a top speed of 179 KMPH compared to RC200's 140 KMPH.

Launch Date of KTM RC 390 (2016 upgraded model)?

02 January 2023 06:37

The 2016 KTM RC390 has been launched in India on 10 February, 2016. The bike gets a new slipper clutch, and an always “on” headlight. However, it has missed out on some features available in the European market such as a bigger front disc, a ride-by-wire system and a canister exhaust. The bike's price has remained unchanged at INR 2,13,504 (ex-showroom, Delhi). Coming to comfort, the bike isn't ideal for daily driving. Firstly because city drives crowded with traffic jams, and the RC390 absolutely hates this, it heats up like crazy. Secondly, the riding position is very aggressive, and the pillion seat is a little uncomfortable. The RC390 is a machine built for the tracks, so unless you're completely mad about the bike, don't use it as a daily commuter.

What is the price of KTM RC 125 in India?

02 January 2023 06:36

KTM RC125 has no launch plans for the country as KTM will not be able to price the bike properly due to 95 percent part sharing with the elder cousins from the RC family. The RC200 is priced around INR 1,69,000 whereas it’s INR 2,14,000 for the RC390. The INR 45,000 gap between the both is justified by bigger engine, premium tyres, dual channel ABS and a slipper clutch. On the other hand, by providing no such difference, KTM cannot price the bike with another INR 45,000 drop and even if done, the INR 1,24,000 price tag would not justify the 125 cc character of the bike.

Which one should I buy: KTM RC 125 or Suzuki Gixxer SF Moto GP Edition?

02 January 2023 06:36

You can only buy Suzuki Gixxer SF Moto GP edition as KTM RC 125 is not available for sale in India. The Gixxer is a great performer with a 154.9 cc engine producing 14.6 BHP and 14 NM of torque. It comes with an excellent aerodynamic design, returning a mileage of more than 40 kmpl. It comes with a price tag of INR 84,939 for the Moto GP edition.

What is the actual price of KTM RC 125 in Kalyan?

02 January 2023 06:35

KTM RC125 is currently not available in India and the most possible alternate for the same in the country is RC200. The RC series currently sells RC200 and RC390 in the Indian market. RC125 has more chances of launch then all the other 125cc performance motorcycles like Yamaha R125 and Honda CBR125R. The reason behind the same is that KTM do not offer any 150cc motorcycle, which would alter the pricing affair of the 125cc offering whereas other two have a 150cc cousin at an affordable price. Pricing the RC125 around INR 1,25,000 would make the KTM supersport feel more closer than the current generation RC200 priced at INR 1,69,000. The RC125 comes with a 124.7 cc engine producing 14.8 BHP and 12 NM of torque.

Which bike should I buy between KTM RC200 and Bajaj Pulsar RS200 ABS?

02 January 2023 06:35

The KTM RC 200 is a performance oriented machine producing 24.65 BHP and 19.2 NM of torque. The gearbox is a 6-speed claw unit and the bike weighs 154 kg. It comes with USD front telescopic forks and a very aggressive seating position. On the other hand, the Pulsar RS 200 comes with the same engine producing 24.2 BHP and 18.6 NM of torque. The gearbox here is also a 6-speed unit and the bike weighs 165 kg. The 11 kg difference and the use of more performance oriented parts make the KTM RC 200 an expensive option at INR 1.69 lakh whereas the RS200 comes with a relatively relaxed price tag of INR 1,32,000 for the ABS version. For regular riding, RS 200 is best whereas if you wish to ride on a track and love high performance, the RC 200 is the best option.

Can KTM RC 390 hit a top speed of 210 kmph after making some modifications?

02 January 2023 06:34

The KTM RC390 can hit a top speed of 210 kmph with the modifications related to its weight reduction and track oriented part exchanges. Firstly, the bike needs to shed some weight, which is done by removing all the additional parts required for a road legal motorcycle. This includes rear foot rests, mirrors, headlights, mudguards and many of the parts are replaced with lighter carbon fiber parts. The heavy exhaust system is also replaced with a free flow exhaust and rest is done through modifications of the ECU, increasing some red-line limit if possible. These modifications are not possible on a real life road as many parts are illegal and track based only.

Please suggest me, which one is good – Bajaj Pulsar RS200, KTM RC 200 or KTM 200 Duke?

02 January 2023 06:34

KTM 200 Duke is the best bike from the three above selected bikes. RC200 is an excellent example of a lightweight sport bike but lacks the comfort of everyday riding with its aggressive seat position. The RS200 is again using the same engine but seems to be lesser refined than its KTM competitors. The 200 Duke presents a perfect combination of power and comfort as it gets a raised handlebar with upright seating position. The things get more better when the 199.5 cc engine produces a max of 24.6 BHP and 19.2 NM of torque. It gets USD forks for better suspension and an attractive price tag of INR 1,38,000.

Why the mileage of KTM RC 200 is better than Bajaj Pulsar 220F?

02 January 2023 06:33

KTM RC200 has a better mileage because it comes with better technologies than the Pulsar 220 DTS-i. RC200 comes with a 199.5 cc, liquid cooled and fuel injected engine producing 24.65 BHP and 19.2 NM of torque. The engine is very responsive and when driven at consistent speeds, it delivers a very good mileage figure also. The Pulsar uses carburetor as its fuel system, making it lesser refined and thereby reducing the mileage figure.

Is Kawasaki Ninja 300 better than KTM RC 390?

02 January 2023 06:33

The KTM RC390 is a much better option than Kawasaki Ninja 300. It gets a 373.2 cc, 1-cylinder, liquid cooled and fuel injected motor, producing 43 BHP @ 9,000 rpm and 35 NM @ 7,000 rpm. The gearbox on the motorcycle is a 6-speed unit with slipper clutch. It gets more power and torque when compared to the Ninja 300, making it better in terms of performance. When it comes to braking, the KTM again wins with its ABS enabled front and rear disc brakes. It can sprint from 0-100 kmph in just 5.70 seconds and returns a fuel efficiency of 30 kmpl. It gets a small fuel tank measuring 9.5 liter only and retails for INR 2,14,000 which is also nearly INR 1.5 lakh lower than the price of Ninja 300.

Which one should I buy – Bajaj Pulsar RS200 or KTM RC 390?

02 January 2023 06:33

I will buy KTM RC 390 because it has a good engine that is 375 cc with ABS and it has many specifications...I thought that KTM RC 390 is the best bike..

I am waiting for the KTM RC 250, when will KTM launch it in India?

02 January 2023 06:31

KTM has announced that the RC 250 and 250 Duke would not be a part of Indian lineup of KTM bikes, making it nearly impossible to launch by the next year. However, if the manufacturer plans to discontinue the RC200 from is stable,the addition of the bigger RC is possible at an increase in price. The bike comes with a powerful 249 cc engine producing 30.87 BHP and 24 NM of torque. It is one of the most aggressively preforming 250 cc bike, with standard 2 channel ABS for enhanced safety. The 6-speed transmission is flawless and the bike gets an ultra light 37.2 kg engine. It would have been priced around INR 1,90,000-1,95,000 if ever launched in India.

I want to buy KTM RC 250, as I have heard it will be not launched in India then how can I buy it in India from dealers or other places?

02 January 2023 06:31

Hi Rishav,

Don't bother about RC250. Go ahead with RC390 if you really want a hard core affordable racer bike. Just check if now RC390 has come in with Slipper Clutch or not. Duke 390 already is now coming with Slipper Clutch. If you are not too particular about buying a faired motorcycle, then buy Duke 390. It is the best value for money in the segment.

Features given by KTM are absolutely far ahead of the competition while the price is much lower. Duke 390 is around 2.2 - 2.3 lakhs on road and it is faster than much costlier bikes like Yamaha YZF-R3, Kawasaki Ninja 300 and even Benelli 300.

People keep talking of quality etc. - I own KTM Duke 200 for last 3.5 years and it is totally trouble free motorcycle giving excellent performance for its price. The shine of its colour/plastic parts is intact, no rattling sounds, no rusted bolts or silencer etc. parts...No reduction in pick up and average....

Just be aware - you will be moving to a relatively expensive segment and maintaining it requires some care. But it will still be cheaper to maintain than Japanese brands in that segment. Duke 200 and Duke 390 are the best bikes you can buy in their segment and you can go ahead without too much thinking.

Beware - Duke/RC are much focussed on high performance and handling. So they have stiff suspension and it takes some effort to adjust with it. Relatively Yamaha R3, Ninja 300 and Benelli TNT 300 will all be far more comfortable. Benelli is very comfortable. But performance of Duke/RC will blow you away compared to all of them. Also KTM Duke/RC (200-390) are very lightweight bikes and hence cutting through traffic is very easy on them. Duke 390 is most practical thing you can buy.

I want to buy KTM RC 250, as I have heard it will be not launched in India then how can I buy it in India from dealers or other places?

02 January 2023 06:31

KTM RC250 would not be launched in India. The bike is manufactured here but will not be available for sale at any of the outlet. You have to go for the KTM RC200 or the bigger KTM RC390 only. The 250 cc RC is loaded with more features than the 200, making it a good value for money product. It gets ABS, which is missing form the younger RC and produces a much more power value of 30.87 BHP and 24 NM from its liquid cooled and fuel injected motor. The bike was expected with a price tag of INR 1,95,000 but won't launch till the RC200 gets discontinued in India.

Which bike do girls find more attractive - KTM Duke 200 or KTM RC 200?

Which bike do girls find more attractive - KTM Duke 200 or KTM RC 200?

02 January 2023 06:31

It's definitely the RC series from KTM which gets more attention from everyone. The Duke 200 gets black alloy wheels and black underpinnings, making it look a bit decent whereas the RC200 gets Orange wheels and underpinnings, making it more attractive to the eye. Also, the fully faired bikes are considered as superbikes in India whereas even a 1000 cc bike without fairing gets ignored many a times. You should definitely go for RC200 as it would serve your purpose the best way whereas others in the segment look much common and lesser attractive.

Yamaha YZF-R3 vs. KTM RC 390?

02 January 2023 06:30

Considering all the aspects of motorbiking, the KTM RC390 would be a better option than Yamaha R3. The strongest factor for this would be the price tag, which sees a difference of INR 1.10 lakh in both the bikes. KTM RC390 produces more power from its single cylinder 373.2 cc motor, making out 43 BHP and 35 NM of torque. It comes with ABS for both wheels and dual projector headlamps, making it a better choice than the R3. Also, it comes with USD forks instead on conventional ones on the R3. On the other hand, R3 has a twin cylinder motor, making it good for long rides and comes with a bigger fuel tank also. I would suggest KTM RC390 as your new bike.

What is the exact top speed of KTM RC 200?

02 January 2023 06:30

The KTM RC200 comes with a top speed of 140 kmph. The bike is powered by a 199.5 cc, 1-cylinder liquid cooled and fuel injected engine. It produces 24.6 BHP and 19.2 NM of torque. The bike comes with excellent running dynamics and shares its design with the elder RC390. It comes with a 6-speed manual transmission and would not win if raced against RS400. The basic reason is that both the bike belong to a different category. RC is a 200 cc bike whereas the RS400 is 373.2 cc bike. It can reach a top speed of 170+ kmph and would make it more fast to reach 100 kmph. The RC200 comes with a price tag of INR 1,67,000 and the price of Pulsar 400 is yet to be announced.

Which bike has better top speed – KTM RC 200 or Honda CBR250R?

02 January 2023 06:30

The CBR250R gets a high top speed figure of around 150 kmph whereas the RC200 gets a 140 kmph top speed. The 249 cc engine of the CBR250R is powerful enough to take the 167 kg bike from 0-100 kmph in 9 seconds. It produces 26 BHP @ 8500 rpm and 22.9 NM @ 7000 rpm. The 6-speed gearbox is smooth and flawless on the Honda CBR250R. The CBR also comes first when it comes to braking. It comes loaded with ABS and gets a price range of INR 1,58,362-1,87,998. The CBR250R is offered in 4 different shades and also had a limited Repsol edition in the past.
