The 2016-2017 RC 200 is the full-faired version of the Duke 200, sharing its engine and running gear. A reviewer found the handling sharp and communicative and the engine lively in town, though the short gearing limits highway pulls. Ergonomics are committed and can tire on long rides, and the ride is firm on poor surfaces. It is positioned as a fun, value-priced fairing bike below the RC 390.
