No matter what others say ktm genuinely did major improvements although the older ktm rc 200 was aggressive while the new one some might hate it I feel looks dashing and bulky and the rear seating comfort adds to its charm Well Done ktm ❤️
Finally some one said it, yeah it's ktm they do know how to design a bike. All the changes are done for improving the bike. People who are saying that old look was better just don't realise the importance of the new design. This is a new bike and there is no point in comparing it with the old one. If people want the old design why wait for this bike then? This bike practicality where the old one didn't had and lose a lot of customers now it's more in to the ktm DNA and it's sport bikes, people just don't realise it. The look is good in my opinion and it's for a purpose. Never only look at the design people.
I think the new headlamp makes it more apparent that this is just a Duke with a fairing clipped on. In my opinion the older headlamp design did give the RC range some individuality of its own.
I still didn't like the front look despite seeing it in front of me. I think if you're someone who goes for performance and don't care much about the looks which is subjected and depends on personal taste then this would be a better choice to buy. I was expecting KTM would make the RC even more angrier and sharper but they totally pull a stunt by not doing that.
Absolutely right bro, I was also expecting some thing ground breaking like in duke 390 older version vs newer version, as I have rc 390 so one of my friend was thinking to buy one but he postponed the plan
In 2019 and 20 I was impressed by the design of rc 390 and had a thought in mind to purchase it ..but trust me looking at this model I will only have it if somebody give it to me for freee....not worth at all
This design is eventually growing in my mind. I guess they tried to setup MotoGP design aspect Yes, we do miss the old RC touch though but I feel the improved dynamics overall.
The thing is, even if you able to switch wheels from domi to rc, I don't think the wheels of domi suit rc, domi has many chrome and shiny elements which is suited alone for tht bike, also take suggestions from a mechanic✌️
Going to buy duke 250 2nd hand . Mods to it : Rc200 alloy wheels which are lighter. Also replace the disc because old will not fit . Replace to new information meter if its plug and play . Replace the tyres with Road 5 in both end . Replace the master cylinder and brake pad. Replace rare sprocket ⚙️ with 2 or 4 more teeth i am more of a tourer with love for twistiest. Replace seat with hard cushion.
Most people get these bikes for their looks and charm not for racing and outright performance( like RC 125) so bikes like r15m sales will be sky rockated now for sure.... I was thinking to get Rc 200 but now R15 M is the go to choice.
Me smiling through watching the whole video of new version R15 and here I'm just thinking, ayyyy what a disaster 😳 Front, side fairing, pillion seat...seems like they've added different parts and panels from different bikes. Why this bike doesn't have a single flow design like V4 or Old RC?? I think HERO designers designed this bike.
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.
One question to KTM , cornering ABS on this but not on 250 duke ( console needs to be updated on 250 duke )or 250 ADV (LED headlights missing here also ) .
Everything is fine. But there is just one thing that it badly needs. It's exposed under belly parts doesn't look so good. There should be a covering like old bs3 & bs4 RCs.
Personally I went to KTM showroom today and watched this new Rc,, Everything is amazing but the front design is weird and it's very wide bad looking. From far, it is very attractive anyway, but the thing is when u go near to this New RC you'll definitely don't like the front design
I know I'm nitpicking but some segments of the video have totally washed out colors where as some of them have good punchy colors. I've noticed this in some past videos as well but the Orange color of KTM makes the difference more noticeable.
I am a 2018 rc390 owner and i really loved the new design if they priced it same as before..mhan then it will be a superbike on budget..As a ktm owner this front and tank design is much much better than the outdated old one.
The Old RC's design was more aggressive and eye-catching than this one
Agree with you. Old is gold
Yes
This time the front side makes it look a bit like karizma
No this looks cool and different
No matter what others say ktm genuinely did major improvements although the older ktm rc 200 was aggressive while the new one some might hate it I feel looks dashing and bulky and the rear seating comfort adds to its charm Well Done ktm ❤️

Hi
Tohar Maiya ke improvement hua hai
Me too its really looks good❤️❤️
Any fans of old design
I bought a used BS3 200 2 months ago
Here
@@JH09SUMIT niceee
I was lucky to get the 2017 model. After 2017 looks deteriorated.
Old is the best
Honestly, I don't like this design previous one was better
Totally agreed, they've ruined it totally
Yes
Total Agreed, Yup 👍
0.46 The older design looks so much better.
I think the new headlamp makes it more apparent that this is just a Duke with a fairing clipped on. In my opinion the older headlamp design did give the RC range some individuality of its own.
R15 sales will go brrrr.. front end looks absolutely disgusting on the rc.. I prefer the older look which was more striking and it was waay sharper
Yes horrible. Looks like dominar version of RC
New Still looks Good to me, for now as I have seen for quite a time
I still like the aggressive look of the old RC series.
Ur a joke
❤️
U r a noob then
Im also brother ❤️❤️
Same
The Front design was better in older versions. Disappointed with the front of the 2021 version.
Am I the only one who loves the new look too?

@@ShresthaYT It's a personal taste ✌🏻

Mere chennel pe old KTM rc ka status video hai plz check it out
R15 is improving but… rc series are getting dumbfounded
Yes.. both r worked in designing same headlight setup in naked nd faired one...bt results were different
Hwotf u mean dumb foudned?? leave cosmetic upgrade and look at the improvement of features,power,aero alott
@@rzee8220 those were there in the older rc also. Just not in indian version
r15 don't improve they reduced the power from v3 and replace the signature dual headlamp with single projector
The pillion seat looks so much comfortable than the previous one... ❤️
In real its totally different 😍
Atleast the alloys should've been better designed. If Yamaha can bring R1 style to it's R15, the RC should've got styling updates from the RC16.
isse achha.. RC16 hi maang lete 😑🙄
yea alloys ruin the look but they light tho
They brought this styling from RC1190 dude
Honestly this feels better.. Looks like a tamed down version of the RC8!
morning with Ktm and AutoCAR 🔥
The front looks more bulky and slightly better. I was not a fan of the RCs earlier front 'beak' look. Lots of good subtle changes.
Nice helmet bro.
@@adityarai5367 Thanks 🙏🏼
No definitely not better looking than the old one
The rear looks great....but the front look of the RC 200 is subjective....
Front fairing is designed by bajaj😂😂
I agree with u😆
yeah they literally fucked the design
I like it.
Foolish fellow all of bajaj design are super hits
Fool the 220 and ns design is loved even today
Go to school and get educated
Illiterate
Hamara Bajaj... 😜
In 2019 and 20 I was impressed by the design of rc 390 and had a thought in mind to purchase it ..but trust me looking at this model I will only have it if somebody give it to me for freee....not worth at all
Hide the headlights and it looks like a track bike
You can't afford it just accept that
This design is eventually growing in my mind. I guess they tried to setup MotoGP design aspect Yes, we do miss the old RC touch though but I feel the improved dynamics overall.
Old one is good ❤️
Old is Gold 🙃
Please KTM, Redesign the front! Its not what we wanted.😭
Well the big question by me is can I replace the wheels and brakes of my Dominar with the RC?
Can anyone suggest something.
Yes
You will ended up with breaking the wheel🤣
The thing is, even if you able to switch wheels from domi to rc, I don't think the wheels of domi suit rc, domi has many chrome and shiny elements which is suited alone for tht bike, also take suggestions from a mechanic✌️
Going to buy duke 250 2nd hand .
Mods to it :
Rc200 alloy wheels which are lighter.
Also replace the disc because old will not fit .
Replace to new information meter if its plug and play .
Replace the tyres with Road 5 in both end .
Replace the master cylinder and brake pad.
Replace rare sprocket ⚙️ with 2 or 4 more teeth i am more of a tourer with love for twistiest.
Replace seat with hard cushion.
Bajaj rs 200 & ns 200 needs a strong cosmetic update
Not only cosmetic changes, they need more features I guess...
Just wait for the new Pulsar 250....
Yamaha's engine, suspension, control & stability better than any bajaj bike
never
Here we talk about Ktm... Y u take bajaj here?
@5:45 that’s how any typical we check the suspension 😜
Most people get these bikes for their looks and charm not for racing and outright performance( like RC 125) so bikes like r15m sales will be sky rockated now for sure....
I was thinking to get Rc 200 but now R15 M is the go to choice.
I just now rode along the KTM showroom watching my RX-135,5-Speed's reflection in the Glass Panels!
I didn't look at the KTM 's.
Me smiling through watching the whole video of new version R15 and here I'm just thinking, ayyyy what a disaster 😳
Front, side fairing, pillion seat...seems like they've added different parts and panels from different bikes. Why this bike doesn't have a single flow design like V4 or Old RC?? I think HERO designers designed this bike.
Hero has much better designers in 2021.
Exactly bro
I prefer and love the old model to this😫😫
In the photos the front looked really bad... But in reality it is looking good in comparison 😉
I was also planing for rc 200
But now purchased r15m
I was big fan of that old rc Massssy look but new.............
Nacked version of this one ...will come.soon ??any guess ??
I love this new one due to seats which were horrible before now family will agree to buy it for me😂

Finally autocar motorcycle review without rain pouring
Damn this looks like a tiny, toy bike with Rishaad standing next to it. 🤣
Oiiie just loved it 😍😍😍 waiting for rc 390 to release in India ASAP
Old ktm rc 200.. ..is best👍
Old is gold 🙂 ❤️❤️🔥
looks like Bajaj NS 200 graphic team designed it. 🤣🤣
This bike will definitely grow on us by going time for sure.....!!!
One question to KTM , cornering ABS on this but not on 250 duke ( console needs to be updated on 250 duke )or 250 ADV (LED headlights missing here also ) .
The new one is an solid upgrade in every sense
Old is gold ❤️
To be honest i rather have a black wheel rim instead of the orange as it looks much better as the motorcycle aged
Looks more premium and better and not like aftermarket customised bike like previous one
I would say under 600 cc ktm tc 200 and 390 is the best looking bike n premium looking bike looks matter helmet matter ktm is love
What's the height of the anchor? This bike looks miniature infront of him!
Looks absolutely stunning in the Orange and Black ❤️🔥🔥
How many people canceled to buy this
Why did the design went back 10 yrs ago??
But I still love the old generation KTM RC200 .
It's sharp, agile, fun to ride.
Why KTM is not giving us RC 250 , the 250 cc engine of KTM are the best , enough power for fast pace , smooth enough to tour on
Old is gold
Old one was more aggressive in terms of look ! And color combination was better in old one
She is just way too beautiful ❤️
Rishad..you can openly say about the design 🤣🤣..when you put the old RC with the new one.. everybody have known that which looks better!
The way they redesign the headlamp is for cost cutting fo sure. The older RC still got the looks but changes on the other end is quite subtle.
the old design is love
Everything is fine. But there is just one thing that it badly needs. It's exposed under belly parts doesn't look so good. There should be a covering like old bs3 & bs4 RCs.
The Last point makes me thinking after 7 yrs is this the update we r looking for?
Your reviews are better 👍Some UA-cam reviewers have no idea what they are talking about.
Old model beautiful and lovely new model is thirdclaas
Missing those angel eyes
Well summed up Rishad!👍
It looks cool
Yes bro, but after few months the new design will familiar with everyone..
I hope u r that designer
It's now officially chhapri design
🤢🤢
Does it have assist and slipper clucht? And quick shifter?
looks like the duke and RC got a baby
Bruh the looks have massively improved lmfao
Super exited for this review..
Old bs6 Rc 390 vs RR 310 best looking Bike kon se he
I have a question.... Will theey stop old rc publishing
R15M makes so much sense!
The old design was better ❤️
Are they still using that same engine layout for circulating coolant around the engine?
In image this bike doesn't seem to be much good but in reality it's too good 😊
Ok the black and orange one looks much better than the other colour option
Personally I went to KTM showroom today and watched this new Rc,, Everything is amazing but the front design is weird and it's very wide bad looking. From far, it is very attractive anyway, but the thing is when u go near to this New RC you'll definitely don't like the front design
Front headlight looks similar to ktm duke behind the transparent visor. KTM played smart on production cost cutting too 😜👍🏻
My dream bike is here other ktm is not so good but tis is awesome.... Want to buy tis
Same stupid back light , morever the front looks dope❤️
Let me tell you ! This is hell improved bike than the outgoing one in the frame department.
I know I'm nitpicking but some segments of the video have totally washed out colors where as some of them have good punchy colors. I've noticed this in some past videos as well but the Orange color of KTM makes the difference more noticeable.
Bro is this good for touring
Bajaj being Bajaj 💁🏻♂️🤣
😅😅
*Chappris are ready with their dslr camera and golden hair.*
It makes more sense if it was rc 390
Looks Gorgeous....nice review by Rishaad 👍👍
I am a 2018 rc390 owner and i really loved the new design if they priced it same as before..mhan then it will be a superbike on budget..As a ktm owner this front and tank design is much much better than the outdated old one.
I'm happy with my RC390 2018
I was saving for KTM for last 2 years, and KtM just ruined it.
Go for another bike this time ktm sucks
Old is gold 🥇❤️
