For those of you who want it committed like the old bike, the clip-ons can be lowered by 14.5mm, but this will need the use of some spacers that will be available at KTM service centres. It is not a massive difference from the old bike, but it is something you will notice and appreciate over longer rides. The foot peg placement is the same as before, but the clip-on bars are now a little higher up. No matter what your opinion on the design is, you are almost certainly going to like what KTM has done with the riding position. We noticed a bit of ghosting on some of the displays at the launch event, but Bajaj says this will be sorted out by the time the production bikes hit the showrooms. Only the new RC 390 is expected to get a TFT display, but this LCD screen on the RC 200 is much larger than before, while being quite informative and easy to read. The RC 200 also gets an LCD display that comes off the 250 Adventure. The bike gets new foldable mirrors, and both the foot levers now have foldable ends - although the hand levers are not adjustable. There are some nice new additions to the smaller details as well.

The new RC 200 is available in the black-orange scheme you see here and a striking combination of orange and grey. A new set of Duke-style grab handles will make life easier for the pillion as well. The tail section now also looks longer, with a completely different rear seat design and a sleeker-looking LED brake lamp.

The new fairing uses a wider, layered design that gives the bike a greater sense of presence. The updated RC 200 gets a full-LED headlamp (only the RC 125 gets a halogen lamp now) and the indicators and LED position lights are now placed alongside it. If anything, this bike probably has even more presence than the old one. The bike looks more cohesive as in person images suggest, and while the face does not look as sharp and aggressive as the old bike, it definitely stands out. KTM says this bike has better aerodynamics than before, and the actual wind protection we experienced was quite good. Compared to the old RC, the new bike gets a more upright-looking stance with a bigger front section and a taller, more rounded windscreen. The biggest change is what is staring right at you and that is the new, very polarising design philosophy. As before, most of the changes will feature on the entire RC range, including the new RC 390 that is due early next year, so here is what to expect. The first of the new-gen RCs to hit our market is the RC 200, and we got to spend some time with it at the Bajaj test track in Chakan. The KTM RC range has been long overdue for an update, considering the bikes have not changed since the first model came out roughly seven years ago.
