2022 KTM RC 200 | First Ride Review | PowerDrift 

Hey #PDArmy, tell us what do you think about the 2022 KTM RC 200. Do hit that Like button if you enjoyed this video.

For the first time.. I've ACTUALLY waited for a video on RU-vid 💁

Putting stock mrf tyres is like eating ice cream with a fork. Works for a while and then it just doesn't make sense when the temperature increases.

I wasn't a huge fan of the design at first. But now, it has grown no me. Waiting for it hit showrooms near me 🤞

I saw the bike at Showroom and it looks superb, And it's a more easier bike to ride in city , I think KTM had nailed it as how comfortable and sportier and easy this bike is to ride in city

New design Hurts the eye 👀🔥💥☠️

RC series was sharp, mean and fun now they took away first two factors and added bit more comfort. I think KTM is trying out a new game here but I personally didn't like the new looks 🥴

Old RC looks were the most appealing and eye turning... this one i fear looks like more of hero karizmaa the new one.

This one can never replace old RC…😅😅

For the first time I think Yamaha has done a better job than KTM. Top speed, price , looks, console, service cost, refined engine ,mileage ; everthing is better on R15M.

I saw the bike in the showroom.. To be honest the new rc200 looks fantastic... Eventually everyone will like this design.. In 2021 the rc series become more practical..

I like everything except the looks! Previous version looks so good compared to this!

This is the first time that I have waited for a youtube video to be uploaded😅 Waiting eagerly for the new yr🤞.........

Loved this PD army!! This bike looks more mature and sporty. Was never a fan of the old RC, but this definitely looks a lot cool, oozing the old RC8 1190R vibes. That was one of my fav!! Hope this comes in black!!

I felt Shumi riding this made this bike look 10 times better ... Also we got the RC review ahead of R15's 😅...Still waiting. Also also this vs the R15 would be a nice video

The sharp design with amazingly executed panel breaks throughout the bike overpowers the not so great front facia of the bike. Although, it seems to be growing on me, I'm waiting for the day someone takes the 2022 RC to the track and fully covers up the front lights and puts on a race number, unleasing the real MotoGP bike aesthetic.

From the initial spy shots to now the design has definatly grown on me. And that weigh reduction where it matters ( wheels epsecially) is just going to make it a better track day proposition. Metzeler M5 should have been optional.

Starting the day with RC200....Orange... ❤️Shumi's Voice.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Honestly, even for the same price, I'd still go for the old gen RC.

1:11 'wont photograph well from front' lesson for those who just click pictures with RC 📸📸

The design reminds me the big daddy RC8R, I wish they bring back the beast

To people , hating it's looks, First it looks gorgeous, It's aerodynamic Look at the indicators its not popping out the entire bike is more streamlined and nothing in that body is poking out , it looks like an arrow. It also has better brakes and more performance along with a better fuel tank which leads to less anxiety. It's a brilliantly made motorcycle.

Personally I still prefer the old design.. My 2015 RC 390 still manage to turn heads till date.. but I see KTM has taken effort to extract more performance keeping the engine same… its more comfortable may be.. but when you ride RC’s you assume they ain’t made for comfort they are meant for racing bike feel and handling. Is this a right step for KTM, only time will tell!

Given that You bring such quality contents, I expected 60fps videos at 720p or 1080p.

When will you guys come up with the Aerox review? Been waiting for days😓😓

End of an era. (bei bei bs6). 🙂😢

I really had mixed opinions on the design initially,but ktm just nailed it man After watching the reviews or watching for more & more time I really got used to it & I really love this design & fairing is way better than its predecessor...I really love the design , it would be more appealing in live than to witness it on the screen 👍

I wouldn't mind if it remained old. Jesus what have they made, now RR300 really is the best

I'm always happy to see Shumi in all leathers. Grew up reading his stuff and ogling at those amazing photos back in the days of BSM. Everytime I see his videos on this channel, I feel so proud for the whole team because PD has basically grown up the same way too. So to see him as part of the same team is the equivalent of seeing Bale getting to act with Jackman in The Prestige.

KTM news from PD is something we in the Philippines look out for as we get the same bikes but in a much later date

Please suggest which bike to buy: RE intercepter or Duke 390 2021 I ride everyday only 10 km

sorry ktm BUT this time its A GIANT NO, since everybody is buying YAMAHA R-15m 😎

I can agree that the spy shots were not that appealing to me but this, Oh Mama 😍, This looks bomb 💯.

Old rc design looks 🔥🔥 better but new generation rc look's not attractive.

One thing I am curious about is the instrument cluster. I love this bike cus changes are needed. ❤️

Shumi.....u are as slick and quick as the RC 390...no one compares to you Sir....love your vids.

I m not a KTM fan... But powerdrift as always awesome content.. love u guys.. #PDARMY

bhai old is gold but this one is diamond..just a lit.......with new features,seat,height,rear mirror,braking system..aerodyanamics..design except headlight design

Its not only exciting to listen about the bike , but its more to listen it from #Shumi.. #PD at its best!!

Hii shumi will ther be any updates on MT15 Same as R15 is it worth waiting or can I go with the current model

Best automobile content for sure 🔥

In 2012, RC390 was priced ₹2.15 lakhs, now 10 years later RC200 is available at prices, we have come so far

The front fairing of the bike looks like it has been taken out of a bigger bike and slapped on to it. May be as you say if we look at the bike in person would be different, let's see..

New look of RC series is far better than the old series !!!

initially it looked ugly, but now i see its ravishing . awesome

I likes the new rc because the clip-on handle bars looks very cool

Long front face resembles with that of RC8!👌🔥

Eagerly waiting for the Ballistic Missile "The RC 390". I will be upgrading from r15 S 2015, so can't wait for it. As always short and informative video Shumi Sir. When first the spy shots were seen for the new RC series, mostly I was seeing all the Chappris yelling at the design and saying they won't buy it and I was glad that they won't. But now after seeing it in real life video, I guess everybody is changing their view point. So I think this RC200 will definitely give a tough competition to the new r15 M. 🤟🏻

Love the new design. Looks more mature now

PD: RC200 First ride review Me: yehi to chaiye tha mujhe 🤩🤩 😄

So would you recommend this RC or bs6 rs200, considering the price difference b/w em

Can wait to see the drag between new RC 200 and R15 V4 at signal 2 signal ✌

Congratulations on Cardekho, turning into Unicorn 🦄!

Still many youngsters dream.! Perfect for Indian traffic conditions , I mean not to get killed by speed unlike 390 , Just enough power to fine tune the riding skill. And have fun too. Best of both world.

Hey Schumi, any chance we can expect dual channel ABS in the 125?

People don't tend to accept changes but changes are inevitable and this RC model with sink in more people will get used to this. Mark my words☮️

Does anybody know where exactly they test out these bikes? I would love to take my bike out to a track nearby Pune.

Shumi always to d point love it❤️

Any change's in ground clearance?

Please make a video soon on how it is going to be for touring

When are you reviewing the Hero Xpulse 200 4V??

I like the new styling but I feel it would have been better if they had simply taken inspiration from their moto gp bike . Kind of like the Rc8c . Apart from that , the motor has not changed so how is the refinement ? Is it better? . Comparing it to the R15m , i think R15 has done a better styling job . I would love to see a track battle between the R15v4 and the rc .

The. Look is really good compared To spy shot And ktm also need more partical enthusiast customers ❤️❤️

The question is ergonomic, how comfort it is while riding on the highway or city.. waiting for the road test review 🤞

I kinda think it looks classy and composed......its so fine looking to me, would choose this over the previous one any day!!

the stealth seat cowl was a perfect design hope they just keep that one...

Lot of fibre have placed randomly wherever they could be(meanwhile R15 v4.0 have way better fairing ). Subframe looks great but front portion not so

Everything seems improved.. what about the riding position.? Previous versions use to give very bad back pain ..if we drove for some decent time .

Show the instrument cluster. Is it same as the TFT in 390

What happened to new motogp style exhaust we use to see in leak images 😔

Hey plz make a vidoe comparing the middle weight sports tourer because in today's market there is a overwhelming amount of new bikes and its very confusing...

PD should show one full lap of this track with Shumi at the end as extras

What about console of rc 200 n any updates about ktm adventure bigger series 🙄

Thorough.. details and Superb riding 😊 Sumi.. U nailed it

Im here for Yamaha 💪 also a previous KTM user though so here also to support the brand ride safe to all...

How about the pick-up and performance for long rides?

Hi Shumi #pdarmy Should I wait for rc 390 or should I go for RR310 . Mostly I'll use for Sport touring. I don't like cruisers. Need Higher topspeeds for better Average speeds during the tour.

It's not photogenic, that's for sure. But while riding, you won't see the front of your bike or if you peek at it at parking lot, most of the time we'll be looking at the rear of the bike. So while it doesn't look as exciting as the previous version, it's not really a big deal considering upgrades in other areas.

As owner of 2 (2016) modified RC 390's I am really interested in RC 390 (2022) model. Hopefully I'll buy it.

What about the new seat height cuz I m 5’6 and I am planning to buying its older sibling(RC 390) ?

Please compare the difference between old rc200 and new rc200 sepc wise because I love old one more than new one if it don't have any dramatic change then I would move to old one

I love my bs4 rc390.. im satisfied more than this 👍🏼🙏🏻

Actually I love this new rc but i take the bs4 rc because I love about the sound of the bike 🤩

Last model was a pain to ride this looks fun

i used to enjoy PD content but now I'm watching. 😌

Damn the quality on the bike looks top notch in the video itself in the flesh everyone is going to Love it ...

In the spy shots i thought its ugly but now the production model is excellent The new design is superb It now looks like a superbike

I just hope the duke 200 gets the all led setup before i buy that bike.

Not sure if you covered the display part … does this come with TFT display like on the duke 390 ??

Are the planning to upgrade to Dukes as well?

Time ka sath sb change hota ha mara bhai I love ktm rc 🔥🔥

The instrument cluster kinda feels new, strange that Power Drift haven't spoken about it. User xperience does matter when it comes the detail 😅

KTM: here are tons of practical and usable upgrades for u Indian janta : but loooooooooooooks

Even in this video the bike looks way way better than what we saw in the spy shots

It has acceleration as quick as a brand new swift

Like the number plate position. Hope it makes out the same!

Hey!! Can anyone give me updates about Benelli 302R

It's simple those who have old rc will hate this new model, and who is thinking to buy new rc will love this model. End of discussion 😁

I trust you Shumi will check it out in flesh . Shumi told me to check CB350 in flesh and surprisingly it look better in flesh than in videos or photos . I am excited to check out wheel rims want to know if we can get those on Duke 390 ?

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.
