Bajaj is more established brand then KTM. KTM is good but not best like Bajaj in India. Bajaj had launched its first fully fairing sporty look bike with outstanding features like single channel ABS in the front wheel. Its 200cc with top speed of 141 km/h...It gives us feel of some 300cc bike because of his bulky looks..

Pulsar RS 200 beats KTM RC 200 and YAMAHA R15 in looks and Style...I don't know why to spend 50-60 thousand more on KTM RC200? Pulsar RS200 gonna be the fastest bike yet in India in this price range...Moreover Pulsar has more brand value in the market...

The front of Pulsar is more attractive and broad than KTM..The LED tail lights look fantastic...nowadays, I'm riding Yamaha R15 and completely satisfied with it...But now I want to change my bike... I was really waiting for any new sporty bike between 1-1.5 lacs..

So I'm going to buy this powerful machine so be careful KTM, Yamaha and Honda...Bajaj had comeback in Indian market to rule once again...all the best RS200 I know RS200 is the winner today because it's powerful, comfortable and stylish...now KTM please rest in Peace...

The two bikes are same.

Both the bikes are excellent upto their part and the decision depends on the type of ride you wish to have in your everyday journey. Both the bikes have the 199.5 cc, 1-cylinder motor, producing 24.6 BHP and 19.2 NM of torque. Even the power is achieved at the same rpm's, with the same 6-speed gearbox on the bikes. The difference comes in the way you like to drive. You prefer going off-road, on some long stretches, you should choose the 200 Duke as it comes with lower seat height and higher ground clearance. You like to race around on highways and avoid off-road, you can go for the RC200, with excellent racing position for riding. The price difference between the both is INR 24,000. RC200 is aerodynamically more efficient and reaches a higher top speed, therefore making it expensive. In short, 200 Duke is practical, RC200 is typical.

KTM 200 Duke - A Powerful Appearance

The R6 is a 599cc beast, produces 122bhp of raw power and an amazing ride. But yet, it has nothing in front of the 1190 cc, produces huge 173 bhp through its amazing V-twin engine, clocks around 300kph and one of the most extreme road legals. R6 is a much better day to day and a track day quite so often, and the RC8 is a track beast, with the most mean look ever.

KTM RC8

KTM RC8 is the faster model when compared to Yamaha R6. Both the bikes belong to different categories as the 600 cc middle weight racer lacks far behind from the huge 1200 cc KTM beast. The RC8 R is powered by a 1195 cc engine, producing 173 BHP @ 10250 rpm and 123 NM @ 8000 rpm. The values are huge when compared to the R6. The KTM RC8 R comes with a top speed of 287 kmph with stock components. It has a 16.5 liter of fuel tank, returning only 10-12 kmpl on normal riding. It comes with an adjustable seat height of 805-825 mm and comes with nearly the double price of R6. It is expected in India with a price tag of INR 20,00,000.

All You Need to Know about KTM 1190 RC8 R

Yamaha R6 is 599cc & RC8 is 1195, almost twice, hope that answers your query.

Power, aerodynamic design, maintenance, all these are best in CBR250R when compared to RC....initial alone RC duke will be good....where RC will reach 0-60 in 3.3 sec and CBR in 3.7...after that RC can’t reach anymore in CBR...CBR max speed 144 even on that speed it will glued to road...where RC max speed only 133 with more windblast

The upcoming 2015 Honda CBR250R is a better option over the KTM RC200. The new CBR is packed with a better performance, producing 28.6 BHP @ 9000 rpm and 23 NM @ 7500 rpm. The values are much more than that of the KTM RC200's 24.65 BHP, 199.5 cc engine. The new CBR250R will have its new design from the senior CBR members of the family, with a twin headlight structure and a much sharp looking design. The CBR250R comes with optional ABS, making it a safer ride than the RC200, which lacks the ABS. The new design also includes a new chrome plated exhaust, looking perfect on the light weight racer. The price of the 250 cc CBR is INR 1,60,000 which inturn is better than the INR 1,66,000 for the KTM RC200.

Quick Facts - 2015 Honda CBR250R

Always CBR is better...

If you are into race, super quick and can compensate on long rides then go for RC. RC 390 is hard to drive in city traffic. Whereas CBR250R is a complete package for City riding and touring with ease and comfort. Wait for new updated CBR250R, I am waiting for it too.

The KTM RC 390 is the best bike out of all the above. It comes with the most powerful engine, producing 43 BHP @ 9000 rpm and 35 NM @ 7000 rpm from its 373.2 cc. single cylinder liquid cooled, fuel injected motor. It comes with the most comfortable race position, making it a good choice to enjoy medium and high speed riding. It even comes superb handling and a very good built quality when compared to all the other bikes in the segment. The only field where it lags behind is mileage, but when such a big boost of power is delivered mileage is surely going to get down from a comfortable value. It return a 25 kmpl mileage, making it the best above all. It comes with a price tag of INR 2,12,000.

KTM RC 390 - Racing Genes

KTM RC 200 is double seater bike, with its rear end painted in such away that it seems to be single seater only. The black portion above the white body panel seems to be a piece of plastic from its first look, but in actual is a rubberized seat with no holding support. The RC 390 also has the same logic for its rear seat. The bike is an impressive performer with its 199.5 cc engine, producing 24.65 BHP and 19.2 NM. It comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox performing the best possible a 200 cc machine can perform. It comes with a price of INR 1,66,000.

The braking power and efficiency of the KTM RC200 is excellent when compared to other bikes in the segment. The front disc measure 280 mm and the rear one measures 230 mm. The braking lacks ABS, making it unsafe in extreme conditions, but the overall braking power and superb handling makes it a winner from all the competitors. The bike comes with a 200 cc engine producing 24.65 BHP.

KTM RC 200 - City Performance

The KTM RC200 is good for track use and even feels very good to race on highways, but when it comes to city riding and dynamics, the bike seems to annoy the rider. The position is not so comfortable for the city traffic as controlling the bike in high traffic zones feels miserable. The pillion rider has the least comfort even on highway as the seat has no grips for holding at high speeds and instant braking badly affects the pillion and in turn affects the rider as it is the only support for the pillion.

KTM RC 200 - City Performance

The KTM RC200 does not have an engine Immobilizer and the option does not come with the 200 cc series of KTM. The RC 200 also lacks ABS which is present in the 390 cc model. The RC 200 is powered by a 199.5 cc engine, which generates a max of 24.65 BHP. You can even call your nearest Bajaj showroom as they deal with the matters related to KTM RC and Duke series.

KTM RC 200 - City Performance

I think KTM 200 is much better than bajaj because bajaj is just trying to copying KTM features in his new series of 200 like ns, rs and other, not doing anything new, none self technology and for CBR I will say the machine is good but overall it does not make much sound than to KTM. so i will suggest you to go for KTM 200 even in features, specification and performance KTM is better than both these bikes.

You should go for the KTM RC 200 as it has the best quality of material used and the best performance for its segment. It has an attractive design with a 199.5 cc engine, delivering 30-35 kmpl. The CBR lacks in mileage whereas the RS200 lacks the same built quality as the RC200. If you go with the value for money stuff, the RC 200 again proves to be the best.

KTM RC 200 - City Performance

I believe, RS 200 is an ugly bike with nothing new to offer. RC200 even though does not have an ABS still is an excellently built machine, but it is more sports oriented and not practical because of hard suspension setup, dedicated sports riding positioning, and harder seats. Honda is a complete package....reliable engine, comfortable seating position for longer rides, better mileage, softer suspension. Even though RC has an X-Factor, Honda is a more realistic sports machine till date.
