The Austrian bike maker, KTM is considering the production of 500cc and 800cc bikes in India. The both models will include twin cylinder engine. These bikes will be built domestically which will result in lower production costs and also the lower product cost.
Currently KTM plans to launch full faired version of RC series- RC200 as well as the RC390. The RC300 and RC390 motorcycles have been spotted testing at many places. We can expect the launch of both bikes in mid-2014. It plans to achieve 50,00o units in the coming three years and an overall figure of 2.5 lakhs in five years. It will introduce Husqvarna bikes to India by 2015 through its local manufacturing plant.
