KTM Duke are the best budget performance bikes present in country today. The Austrian manufacturer has unveiled the RC 200 and RC 390 motorcycles at Italy Motorshow. The RC 200 and RC 390 are the faired versions of the Duke 200 and Duke 390. This Austrian firm is known for its budget performance bikes. Like the Duke 390 has the best acceleration in its segment, its 0-100kmph whack in just 5 seconds. The Super Duke 1200 has set the records on fire, with a time chase of 7 seconds for reaching 200kmph from standstill.
Let us just come to the point, there have been many sets of pictures of RC 390 doing round on net, spotted while testing. The latest seen RC model was the 200 with a tyre hugger at the rear, which resembles to the production model. So now KTM is just set to launch one of its motorcycle from its stable which would either be RC 200 or the RC 390 in August. Yes, we are warning you to save money and have one underneath you, coz if you allow these bikes to over-rule you then you’ll surely be resting next day on a bed !!!
These RC models have the same engines as the Duke duos, so the power outputs are also the same. The difference would be the track oriented ergonomics, handling and looks of the bikes. Yes the motorcycles are lookers from each and every angle. The RC 200 produces the 25 Bhp at an un-revealed rpm range and weighs at just 137.5 kgs with seat height of 820mm. the RC 390 produces 43 Bhp and tips the scale at 147 kgs. Both the bikes have very high attention to detailed designing and outstanding performance.
Yes!!! they are worth a wait and we really need to wait to discover what exactly KTM has done to snatch the market share from Yamaha R15 and Honda CBR250R.
