Can a sportbike be practical? Perhaps but the old KTM RC200 was never easy to live with, considering its peaky power delivery and rock hard suspension. So, when I received the message, "Wahid, would you like to test ride and review the new KTM RC200 (2022)?," I replied "Yes" with some trepidation.

The all-new, 2022 KTM RC200 was launched in Malaysia with at a tantalising price of only RM 15,888. It was launched amongst other new models at the Eurotech Wheel Distribution "Shift the Paradigm" event.
