Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“my height 5.3 and I'm cool with it in traffic as well for moving it backwards”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“Paraphrase: RC 200 looks and performs great but the aggressive posture and stiff setup make it hard for daily Kathmandu commuting; better as a weekend and highway bike.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

Paraphrase: Price around 6.9 lakh feels too expensive for a 200cc in Nepal, so some buyers shift to Duke or other brands with better comfort and similar performance.

Our summary, not a quoteReported by nepaldrives.com

“Paraphrase: KTM service cost is higher than normal Nepali bikes but acceptable for a performance machine; parts are available but not cheap.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“160 mm ground clearance and it was not enough. On roads like Pokhara-Dumre … you’d find 160 mm severely lacking.”

Real published text, but nobody said it in the first person — so it is never shown as a quote.

This bit doesn't carry over

Owners abroad rate this bike's resale, warranty and service cost on their own market's terms. None of that applies here — different duty, dealer network and used market. It is shown separately and never counted above.
