7 years since the first RC review came out? Wow. Time flies. Cant believe its been that long already. I still remember that review and many lines from it. It was what made me buy the RC 390 and at that time it cost me around 2.25 to 2.3 lakh on-road in Pune. Coming to the new gen RC 200, I think the biggest improvements they have done over the years is fine tuning the niggles of the past and on reliability of the machine. As far as looks goes, I will leave it to personal preference.
Regression in sportiness both in looks and functionality in favour of bit more comfort and better ergonomics. Now its one of the sporty looking fully faired motorcycles instead of being pure, absolute sportsbike like before. Also doesnt the fairing and tank remind you of CBR250R or 1000RR, especially with the straight-down cut slit in the fairing?
The front put me off at first, But I think I have grown on it, It looks ok now. But they could have changed the front still on an otherwise fantastic bike.
@@varunpainter6964 But you know what?, I think KTM added the Duke 390's headlight and slapped a visor over it or May be it's just me. BTW, you replied to my comment and made my day. I am a huge fan of you. Keep up the good work bro.
So adding better rubber on gixxer sf250 will be a better option.....got it Although i do think the new rc is objectively a better motorcycle to live with
Ok ok we can grow opinion abt its looks, bt wt abt the performance? Speed limit issue? Even a 150cc can give tuff competion while the wind is less on dat day.
The new KTM RC200 is a much better improved motorcycle than the previous gen. In terms of looks the old one was compact but it doesn't has that big bike feel. With this new design its looks and feels like a bigger bike to Ride. Ok the front looks more is functional but may be a little weird. However from the side it looks like proper sports. Then the engine performance absolutely superb. What also good its refined and smooth to. It also gets good features like an LCD screen, all LED lighting , dual channel ABS but it Misses out on a slipper clutch. The best part is after all these changes its still weighs the exact same wow 😮. Overall the new RC200 is more of a proper road bike that can be used for track day capability as well rather being a full fledged track machine like the previous RC. I realy like new RC200. The review was good 😍😍 guys. What do you guys think about Doing a comparison between the new RC200, Yamaha r15 and bajaj pulsar RS 200 😉.
If it had a lower seat height i might have considered it. Damn, being short is no fun when new bikes are launching left and right and youre limited by your height
@@rrqrazor344 that is true for the older discontinued 200. For the new gen, 250 is better since the chassis and other components are the same on 200 and 250.
As a stand-alone bike, the new rc200 definitely makes sense. But that never was the purpose of the original RC series. It was for you to train your self for something bigger,Faster and more visceral. For someone serious about that aspect, the learning curve will be a bit more when they step up.
@@varunpainter6964 I hope it still does. Wasn't gonna risk it though and got my previous gen rc390 when the images of the new RC leaked. It is just not something I'll get down after a long ride to just ogle at it for a few minutes before heading upstairs.

Hello sir ek bada important question ha mere liya i am about to buy a bike i am confused cause of Baja pulsar rs200 cause of 200 cc engine and ktm 200 and r15v4 u all are way more expert please please help me
It's not that this bike looks bad or that I don't like it, I really do. But the last one was so much better, the sharpness the angry front the massive side fairings to art out on. This feels like a downgrade design wise
I own Rc200 Bs6 model the last model with the initial design of headlights. And trust me I'm in love with this bike❤ You can also see the bike in my profile picture.
Remember the old review. It was truly hilarious. Ten as the all wise father was goofy. I miss the main protagonist of that video, I used to watch his RUclips years back. I hope he is doing alright. And for Varun, we all know where he is.

@@sahilkaushal9359 being an ex RE owner... Just don't do it. It is not worth the pain. Even if the newer RE with the new engine is better than the ones in 2016.. I would not recommend it. It may have that retro look towards it which many people like, but that is all what it has. Lazy chasis and the weak brakes!! RE fans love it for many reasons and I respect it but if u r a guy who likes to drive sporty and love to carve corners and do power pulls once in a while RE is not the bike for you at all. It is just Ok to cruise in between 60-80kph. That's it.. Decide based on your driving styles and what you want. Such expensive purchases should be fully justified to ourselves. Buyers remorse is too hard..when we spend our money on something that we waited for long but it turned out to be not to our liking and suiting for us. Check out the Husqvarna twins as well... definitely not as comfortable as Gixxer 250SF but has a better street presence. Hope this helps

Yes gixxer sf250

Thank you! What about the other two KTMs?
