Great analogy bro. But i think thats what they need to do when they try to make it more sensible for normal people. Although i would always wnt everything focussed if m gng fr a vehicle lyk an rc. But to each their own
I saw the bike at Showroom and it looks superb, And it's a more easier bike to ride in city , I think KTM had nailed it as how comfortable and sportier and easy this bike is to ride in city
For the first time I think Yamaha has done a better job than KTM. Top speed, price , looks, console, service cost, refined engine ,mileage ; everthing is better on R15M.
Same here bro. Frst spy shots were rilly disappointing. But nw it seems a bit more sensible. Especialy since they havent made much changes to the pricing. Will want to see it in showrooms
RC series was sharp, mean and fun now they took away first two factors and added bit more comfort. I think KTM is trying out a new game here but I personally didn't like the new looks 🥴
Lol, you are wrong. Everything on the new model is for sharper handling, faster acceleration which means more fun. Did you hear what the guy was talking about?
@@vishnujmohan5089 first, they are not saying about what they feel like, they are telling us about what they think after riding the motorcycle. Second, the changes are made to make the motorcycle faster and better handling. These are the top requirements for sports motorcycles. KTM has provided with more adjustability in new RC series. Looks are subjective but when the older series were launched, people called it ugly and didn't like the design. Same crap now, lol. I guess most of the people are herd mentality.
Personally I still prefer the old design.. My 2015 RC 390 still manage to turn heads till date.. but I see KTM has taken effort to extract more performance keeping the engine same… its more comfortable may be.. but when you ride RC’s you assume they ain’t made for comfort they are meant for racing bike feel and handling. Is this a right step for KTM, only time will tell!
there's no more performance improvement if you have BS4, they added the weight themselves and now they reduced the weight themselves whilst asking for 80k more. Enjoy your bs4.
I'm sure you're gonna change your mind. Cause if you look properly the shape of the front head which everybody is hating on now is very much similar to what ktm bikes look in motogp. Everybody is hating it now cause its very new and different. But sooner or later everybody will love it cause its so different and new
From the initial spy shots to now the design has definatly grown on me. And that weigh reduction where it matters ( wheels epsecially) is just going to make it a better track day proposition. Metzeler M5 should have been optional.
@@karthikreddy920 To each their own opinions. The old design was sharper but it wasn't as aerodynamic. I've come to a point where I don't care about the front design as the rest of the bikes is great and is better in performance. I didn't like it before but it was just a disappointment and no hate. Now I just glance over it.
I saw the bike in the showroom.. To be honest the new rc200 looks fantastic... Eventually everyone will like this design.. In 2021 the rc series become more practical..
Right bro The older one had sme good things. Lets see how ot performs in the city. Rc 200 is more focused towards the city so i think that vl play a big role in decision making. For now, the older gen seems better
To people , hating it's looks, First it looks gorgeous, It's aerodynamic Look at the indicators its not popping out the entire bike is more streamlined and nothing in that body is poking out , it looks like an arrow. It also has better brakes and more performance along with a better fuel tank which leads to less anxiety. It's a brilliantly made motorcycle.
I felt Shumi riding this made this bike look 10 times better ... Also we got the RC review ahead of R15's 😅...Still waiting. Also also this vs the R15 would be a nice video
The sharp design with amazingly executed panel breaks throughout the bike overpowers the not so great front facia of the bike. Although, it seems to be growing on me, I'm waiting for the day someone takes the 2022 RC to the track and fully covers up the front lights and puts on a race number, unleasing the real MotoGP bike aesthetic.
Loved this PD army!! This bike looks more mature and sporty. Was never a fan of the old RC, but this definitely looks a lot cool, oozing the old RC8 1190R vibes. That was one of my fav!! Hope this comes in black!!
@@jawad0sharif but no problem let’s educate you.. KTM is making motorcycles for mass market (90%) who are riding it in roads and which can also opt for aggressive track days (10%).. now they have added a height adjustable clip-ons too.. just grow up before telling ur thoughts.. kid..
bhai old is gold but this one is diamond..just a lit.......with new features,seat,height,rear mirror,braking system..aerodyanamics..design except headlight design
I really had mixed opinions on the design initially,but ktm just nailed it man After watching the reviews or watching for more & more time I really got used to it & I really love this design & fairing is way better than its predecessor...I really love the design , it would be more appealing in live than to witness it on the screen 👍
I'm always happy to see Shumi in all leathers. Grew up reading his stuff and ogling at those amazing photos back in the days of BSM. Everytime I see his videos on this channel, I feel so proud for the whole team because PD has basically grown up the same way too. So to see him as part of the same team is the equivalent of seeing Bale getting to act with Jackman in The Prestige.
Hey plz make a vidoe comparing the middle weight sports tourer because in today's market there is a overwhelming amount of new bikes and its very confusing...
It's not photogenic, that's for sure. But while riding, you won't see the front of your bike or if you peek at it at parking lot, most of the time we'll be looking at the rear of the bike. So while it doesn't look as exciting as the previous version, it's not really a big deal considering upgrades in other areas.
The front fairing of the bike looks like it has been taken out of a bigger bike and slapped on to it. May be as you say if we look at the bike in person would be different, let's see..
I am owner of the older sharper RC200 and also Yamaha R15 V2 and being a fan of sportsbikes am trying to get myself to like this new model but it's kinda hard... My height : 174cms (5 ft 9inch) My weight : 63_65 kgs I possess the exact average physique of a MotoGP rider so the agressive riding positions of any sportsbikes feels natural to me so i have no problems with my KTM RC200 ergonomics. 1.The HID projector headlights of the older spec model is the best in class and lights up the road, don't know how well this model can match up. 2. Absolutely love the front visor and sharp nose fairing of the older model, the new model seems to offer more aerodynamic drag resistance but that wouldn't be of much use in a 200cc engine, would make more scene if they had given this design to the RC390 alone where 150+kmph speeds can be comfortably reached and wind protection is a necessity. 3. My older model RC200 has a 9.5 l tank capacity but i never ride with more than 4 litres in the tank in city cause the weight is pretty prominent on a full tank of fuel due to the battery also placed right on top of the fuel tank so personally I don't see the need for bigger 13.7 fuel tank in a sportsbike, makes sense on tourers, cruisers, adventure bikes. 4. The new lighter rims are one of positives of the new model, it will definitely improve unsprung mass, but owners of older RC model can just get the rims alone than upgrade to the new bike complete. 5.The new tail and rear seat are very good but the old design of the intergreted seat and holders is an absolute masterpiece. 6.The new instrument cluster is definitely an upgrade from the outdated display on the older spec model, but personally the display is the least of my preferences when I'm riding, i need sharp handling performance rather than a smartphone display. Overall it's okay, it's definitely nice can't say it's bad but personally will stick to the older spec and will wait for the new RC390 to show up, with it's adjustable suspension and other perks in the international market let's see what the Indian model gets.
Still many youngsters dream.! Perfect for Indian traffic conditions , I mean not to get killed by speed unlike 390 , Just enough power to fine tune the riding skill. And have fun too. Best of both world.
I like the new styling but I feel it would have been better if they had simply taken inspiration from their moto gp bike . Kind of like the Rc8c . Apart from that , the motor has not changed so how is the refinement ? Is it better? . Comparing it to the R15m , i think R15 has done a better styling job . I would love to see a track battle between the R15v4 and the rc .
Dear powerdrift I love the way u show the presentation, but for ktm rc 390 please do review in streets atleast for quarterly video, because 99% who is seeing this video rides there rc in streets or highway not in tracks , thank you
For a street commited vehicle ot is perfect with reduced weight and better ergonomics. But is it good for short touring?? Most indians buys a performance motorcycle for touring.

To people , hating it's looks,
First it looks gorgeous,
It's aerodynamic
Look at the indicators its not popping out the entire bike is more streamlined and nothing in that body is poking out , it looks like an arrow.
It also has better brakes and more performance along with a better fuel tank which leads to less anxiety.
It's a brilliantly made motorcycle.

A lesson in inflation. 😝
I wouldn't mind if it remained old. Jesus what have they made, now RR300 really is the best
Nope this looks better more refined professional and track focused MotoGP style old one was boring and was only inspired by chapris
It depends. I like the design.
Old rc design looks 🔥🔥 better but new generation rc look's not attractive.
