Based on the existing platform and revised for 2017, the major changes are to the internals and cosmetic changes to make sure government and enthusiast both stay happy. Let’s have a look at the leaked brochures and what they have in store for us.

2017 KTM RC200 and RC390 Design and Dimensions

Both motorcycles stay identical in terms of design and body panels. That means they get projector headlamps, led lights and other similar things seen before. What has changed is the color theme by a huge margin. RC390 has white/black/orange scheme while the RC200 has a white/orange scheme on it. Both bikes do look fresh on the face of it.
