Earlier this August KTM revealed some details and images of its 2022 RC line-up which included the RC390, the RC 200 and the RC 125 bikes. Now this created a lot of buzz online because, while the earlier iterations of the bikes were a real hoot to ride, this bunch of new-generation motorcycles promises to be even better after being on the receiving end of some fair amount of upgrades. Now the first bike we’ve gotten our hands on from that new lot is this, the new second-gen 2022 KTM RC 200. So without further ado, we’ll get straight to what those upgrades are, and of course, what this newgen supersport is like to ride.
