KTM RC 200 Look and Design
In 2022, the KTM RC 200 model is given the same aggressive look as other sports bikes. Originally the look of the KTM RC 200 was taken from the KTM RC 8. Since the price of RC 8 is much higher than KTM RC 200, not all KTM lovers would be able to buy this bike. Keeping this in mind, the KTM company has implemented this look in KTM RC 200 so that customers from any background would be able to buy this bike. If the old KTM RC 200 and the new RC 200 are compared, then the KTM company has implemented minor changes in all aspects.
KTM RC 200 Headlight
KTM Company has given a completely new light setup to the new KTM RC 200 headlights. The model is given an entire new look from the front. It is provided with a large windshield from the front to give it an aerodynamic design. On top of this, there’s large LED DRL lights on both sides which work as indicator lights. And the biggest change is the LEDs on its headlights. These LED lights may look like the LED lights of your Duke 390.
In my opinion the headlights of the old KTM RC 200 seem to be much better. In your opinion, which headlight is better between the old KTM and the new KTM RC200 model, please let me know in the comment section below.
The older KTM RC 200 model had two integrator lights on each side above the mirror but the new model does not have this feature. I think this integrator could be further improved by implementing light in the mirror. But above all, the KTM company has implemented two lights on either side of the headlights, which turn out to be pocket friendly for it’s customers. This is because the cost will be a little less when you change the mirror of the bike.
KTM RC 200 Tail light
Nothing much has been implemented in the tail light, only a little more sweet design provided than before. Above all, with the new KTM RC 200 model you will see a slight change in all aspects.

The maximum Indian ex-showroom price of this bike is INR 2,09,000 and the on-road price INR 2,45,000. Here are some of the things you need to check when someone forces you to pay more.
1. Lifetime Tax / Road Tax
Lifetime tax or road tax of this motorcycle is not more than INR 20,000. So if any dealer is quoting you more than this, then you must go to your nearest RTO office and get the correct information. Another way to find out the lifetime tax or road tax price for that bike is to contact the motorcycle company directly via e-mail.
2. Insurance
Bike insurance paper is considered as a main paper so you must find out from the dealer which company’s insurance is being given to you with that bike. You must research on internet once before going for insurance to check which company will be best for you. Why is this so important because insurance is a paper on which the amount of money is mentioned which you get after an accident. If the insurance offered by the dealer is suitable for you, then you must check once and for all how much you have to pay for that insurance. This is because the dealer first takes the money for the insurance from you and then the insurance is given, so after getting the insurance paper, you must match the value of the insurance and the amount of money you have paid.
If you buy a motorcycle with these two things in mind, you will see that you can save up to a maximum of INR 5,000. And the above information will help you a lot in saving.
