The Old RC's design was more aggressive and eye-catching than this one

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.

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.
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.

looks like Bajaj NS 200 graphic team designed it. 🤣🤣
Damn this looks like a tiny, toy bike with Rishaad standing next to it. 🤣
The pillion seat looks so much comfortable than the previous one... ❤️
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.

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.

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.

Looks Gorgeous....nice review by Rishaad 👍👍
Super exited for this review..
Old one is good ❤️
Well summed up Rishad!👍
No definitely not better looking than the old one
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.

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.

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.
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 ) .
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

You can't afford it just accept that
Front headlight looks similar to ktm duke behind the transparent visor. KTM played smart on production cost cutting too 😜👍🏻
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.

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✌️
I love this new one due to seats which were horrible before now family will agree to buy it for me😂
Please KTM, Redesign the front! Its not what we wanted.😭
Your reviews are better 👍Some KZread reviewers have no idea what they are talking about.
Looks more premium and better and not like aftermarket customised bike like previous one
Missing those angel eyes
looks like the duke and RC got a baby
Oiiie just loved it 😍😍😍 waiting for rc 390 to release in India ASAP
Old is gold
Same stupid back light , morever the front looks dope❤️
Nacked version of this one ...will come.soon ??any guess ??
I think that you should also specify that about New exhaust system Of every bike and review of its Exhaust Sound that will make some Idea 💡 About Exhaust
Are they still using that same engine layout for circulating coolant around the engine?
Let me tell you ! This is hell improved bike than the outgoing one in the frame department.
Bruh the looks have massively improved lmfao
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
I was also planing for rc 200 But now purchased r15m I was big fan of that old rc Massssy look but new.............
What's the height of the anchor? This bike looks miniature infront of him!
She is just way too beautiful ❤️
the old design is love
My dream bike is here other ktm is not so good but tis is awesome.... Want to buy tis
How come your intro music was half cut?
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.

I very much like the new looks.
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!
I like how hidden the exhaust is
The Last point makes me thinking after 7 yrs is this the update we r looking for?
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.
But I still love the old generation KTM RC200 . It's sharp, agile, fun to ride.
Does it have assist and slipper clucht? And quick shifter?
Old is gold 2020
The new one is an solid upgrade in every sense
Looks cool !
It,s time to do some extra aftermarket modifications
It is amazing 👏😍ktm200

When we can expect review of ola electric scooter
Looks absolutely stunning in the Orange and Black ❤️🔥🔥
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 like it more than old gen RC
I like old one..
Ok the black and orange one looks much better than the other colour option
*Chappris are ready with their dslr camera and golden hair.*
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.
Pls make a comparison video with TVS RR 310🤓
Nice & Thanks :)
Dope❤️🔥🔥
