Definitely vastly improved since 2022 - I will try to look for that short section of video - its somewhere in my youtube history

Personally I felt really terrible even on a straightline - just felt loose and rattley - no one
else who rode my bike on track had any complaint.

It was just the subjective contrast after doing CSS on the R3 and 3000 KM or so of touring before going back to the RC - then I just could not ride it

The RC is not a road/touring bike, despite your young body able to take a beating on Indian roads, so Duke is the way to go, but as Shumi says - buying the first lot of any bike is risky.

My personal view is - if youre looking for a bike that will be great for 5 years minimum, get a cheap second hand bike - maybe R15 V3, and wait for the 2025 KTM update, stick to Duke, RC is for racing and too much of a pain on our roads

New chassis is probably going to go on all three variants, that will be a big upgrade

It's a mix of Tamil and English, but you can get the gist:

I had mistaken his name - its Emmanuel Jebaraj

Sad news for Yamaha fans. Guess we will only see the R7 in the distant future.
