I was lucky to get the 2017 model. After 2017 looks deteriorated.

Old is the best

[@harishankarsaju2186]

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

[@pravesh736]

Yes horrible. Looks like dominar version of RC

[@akupegu1622]

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.

[@omkarkhamkar9388]

isse achha.. RC16 hi maang lete 😑🙄

[@rzee8220]

yea alloys ruin the look but they light tho

[@dherajkotla7563]

They brought this styling from RC1190 dude

[@vivindurkash]

The pillion seat looks so much comfortable than the previous one... ❤️

[@AkhilKumar-vu6yx]

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.

[@ayushh1001]

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.

[@ShresthaYT]

Lol oldschool boy

[@ayushh1001]

@@ShresthaYT It's a personal taste ✌🏻

[@ashu0102]

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

[@hembrom3dstatus87]

Mere chennel pe old KTM rc ka status video hai plz check it out

Honestly this feels better.. Looks like a tamed down version of the RC8!

Yes.. both r worked in designing same headlight setup in naked nd faired one...bt results were different

[@itsmeee7364]

r15 don't improve they reduced the power from v3 and replace the signature dual headlamp with single projector

[@kevinbezal5739]

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.

[@madhusudansahoo2718]

Old ktm rc 200.. ..is best👍

[@sachwlangdebbarma5535]

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.

[@maverick2678]

To be honest i rather have a black wheel rim instead of the orange as it looks much better as the motorcycle aged

[@mihulroy6296]

This bike will definitely grow on us by going time for sure.....!!!

[@nijohnraju2931]

It looks cool

[@Aneesh_SK]

Yes bro, but after few months the new design will familiar with everyone..

[@official63]

I hope u r that designer

[@parashbaral1429]

looks like Bajaj NS 200 graphic team designed it. 🤣🤣

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 version has the best design,the rear looks like yamaha v2 and the fairing is barely there.its more like a naked bike.lol

[@arihantjain5185]

The previous one had much better looks.

[@venkataramanak8264]

R15M looks like a much better proposition than RC200. 1. R15M has much better body parts 2. Much much smoother compared to RC 3. Has 15kmph more top speed (150KMPH vs 135kmph) 4. 40KG lighter

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 ❤️

[@joelreji8704]

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.

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.

[@venkataramanak8264]

Hero has much better designers in 2021.

[@ashu0102]

Exactly bro

[@Damnitsjosh]

In real its totally different 😍

[@HighwayToHill]

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.

Well the big question by me is can I replace the wheels and brakes of my Dominar with the RC? Can anyone suggest something.

[@throttlernomad]

Yes You will ended up with breaking the wheel🤣

[@ananthumanikandan6994]

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✌️

[@ankur.xc7]

Please KTM, Redesign the front! Its not what we wanted.😭

[@gangesrahul1393]

Yamaha R15 M is far better than this

[@alberteinstenorussell1134]

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

[@siddharthsahu7123]

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.

[@terryld9]

I think you’ll should try these kind of bikes on roads full of cow dungs.. then give a proper review if this bikes are actually capable of stopping without skidding .. cause we common people ride this bikes on the roads which are full of unwanted obstacles.. which sometimes nobody can avoid.

[@vipinvishwambhar7760]

Old one is good ❤️

[@taranshupattnaiktp3335]

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.
