Rc200 review
Performance awesome but style and look very poor compare to 2020 model so improvement of rc200 style is uselfull to increase the sales mileage below average per liter 35to38 kmpl on traffic and 40kmpl in highways . Old look is very beautiful compared to gen2 rc200 and performance is slightly increased in new ktm rc200

THE BEAST
Actually it's a good bike with decent mileage and good pickup, it have a good aesthetic look and more powerful engine in 200 cc . actually to tell in a single word is BEAST, now more. Bs stage vehicle came even though bs3 still remains the good one with unique engine sound, you need to take care of some maintenance periodically to avoid big problem in future.

THE BS4 RC 200
Ktm Rc 200 bs 4 and bs 3 is really beast and the best segment killer.Ktm Rc 200 is not a bike it's an emotion for me,That pulla and power torque of the ktm rc 200 can't be described in words you should must feel that in real. Ktm rc 200 is for power n performance bike so mileage is not a problem also mileage also good in numbers
