Now, that's what I'll call breaking news. The most anticipated sport motorcycle which we have been counting on for the past several months is finally making its track towards India. Get ready with your Tux to grab the KTM RC 200, as it is also coming along to accompany its big brother KTM RC 390 in the Indian market.
After having several test rides and various spied snap shots, the Bajaj has recently announced that KTM RC 200 will be coming along with RC 390 on the 9th September, 2014.The launching event of the upcoming motorcycles was being announced by the company in the second week of August and the manufacturer had already started accepting bookings for KTM RC 390 with a premium amount of Rs 30,000.
The cousin siblings of KTM Duke 200 and Duke 390 will be carrying the same machinery which was being used in the Duke Series. The KTM RC 390 will receive its power from a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with an engine displacement of 373.2cc. The power and torque figures are 42.9BHP and 35Nm, respectively. Similarly, the KTM RC 200 will be featuring a single-cylinder 200cc machine to generate 25BHP of power and 19Nm of torque. The engines of both the brothers are mated by a 6-speed gearbox to deliver power to the rear wheel.
Well, we can also say that the RC Series is a fully-faired version of the Duke Series. In designing terminology, the icing over the cake is the carved body, orange colored exposed tubular frame and the top cherry is the Twin-projector headlamps. The KTM RC 390 and RC 200 will get manufactured at the Bajaj's Chakan plant located in Pune. The upcoming sport motorcycles will be Rs 30,000 to Rs 40,000 pricier than the Duke Series motorcycles. The upcoming motorcycles from the RC Series will compete with the upcoming HX 250R and Mahindra Mojo 300.
