Currently, all upcoming bikes will be under 350cc thanks to new gst bill, so this will be the option for someone looking to upgrade to more power.

Well If KTM launches this beast in this Segment. It will be segment killer. There will be a option KTM between Kawasaki, Yamaha and Aprilia. I will buy 100% if design similar to KTM 990 RC.

I’m waiting to hear more on this but as far as I’ve heard it’s gonna be a 500cc segment killer and surely a worthy opponent for all the other bikes.
