KTMRC 250 2016 - Present

　　In 2016, the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer launched the KTM RC 250, essentially a fully faired version of the 250 Duke streetfighter. Its engine was derived from its older sibling, RC390, which was tuned to provide a more reliable sportbike on Japan's streets.

　　Visually, the bike featured an aggressive styling with a full fairing, a small windscreen, a two-piece dual seat, a powder-coated orange frame, an under-belly exhaust system, a side stand, and 10-spoke orange-finished wheels.

　　The bike was built around a powder-coated tubular space steel frame, wearing a WP inverted telescopic fork on the front with 125 mm of travel and a WP monoshock on the rear with 150 mm wheel travel, offering excellent suspension performance and handling.

　　The bike came equipped from the factory with 17-inch front and rear wheels. The wheels were fitted with a 300 mm disc with a four-piston caliper and a 230 mm floating disc tied to a single-piston caliper, offering excellent stopping power.

　　In the performance department, the 2016 KTM RC 250 had installed a 249cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath its fuel tank, managed by a fuel injection system. As for the power figures, the engine delivered 31 hp with a peak force at 9,000 rpm and 24 Nm (18 lb-ft) torque at 7,250 rpm.

　　The power produced by the engine was transferred to a six-speed transmission with a manual wet multi-plate clutch and redirected to the rear end via a chain drive.
