Hi lowyat bakers,

Im asking on behalf of my friend. He interested to buy RC 200 2nd hand. Before proceed, wanna know first whether is it good bike to buy? Any KTM owner can comment? Need to know:

reliability
part availability
common problem

If got old thread i can refer to would be nice as well.

p/s: currently he go either Pulsar NS200 or KTM RC 200. others like R15 R25 overbudget for him. and he dont like moped.

Thanks in advance!

How long does he plan to use this bike before upgrading?

Used KTMs are very cheap. The problem is the QC for CKD units are inconsistent.

Over a period of time, the price of the parts like new TFT dash display would be the same as the value of the whole bike. tongue.gif

Buy KTMs if you want to ride it until lingkup and sell it for scrap. Other than that, the Japanese brands are a safer bet.

Wow that expensive?? How about parts availability and the reliability of the bike itself?

It is not that the price of the TFT dash is expensive. It is just that the whole bike's value had reduced drastically. tongue.gif
