Hey Ryan! The tires have been great, thanks for asking. And yep, I got the 150/70 rear. I lack both the skill and experience to push them to their limits and provide accurate feedback, but I haven't had an issue with them yet (however, it's been mostly highway riding lately). I can tell that...

I'm located in North Georgia. I don't know any other bikers, unfortunately. I'll PM you about the lower fairings pieces. =) I called two different lawyers' offices. They both told me that because the cones were present, I would be considered trespassing and that my case would be...

Howdy there, I am a new rider (the RC 390 is my second bike; first was stolen shortly after purchase) and I just had my first wreck last week after about 7k miles on my 390. I posted about this on /r/motorcycles, but I'd like to ask you guys about some repairs. Here is a picture of the crash...

I may have taken this advice had I seen it before ordering my tires. I ended up going with the 160/60s. Rode damn near 8 hours yesterday and it felt just fine. Gets this scrub's seal of approval!

Thank you for the advice. It looks like the Pilot Road 3s would be a great choice based on reviews alone. However, would I be better off with a 150/70 rear or a 160/60? Would this be a grip vs. turning angle trade-off? I'm leaning toward a 160/60 if I can get my hands on one (I see it available...

Hi Guys, Newish rider here looking for advice on replacement tires. I'm coming up on 6k miles and I'm well overdue for a change. No complaints on the Rosso IIs, but I need something with a little more life. I'm beating my 390 up doing almost 2k miles a month. The vast majority of this is...

Thanks for the responses guys. Looks like something is awry on my end (or maybe I'm just crazy). I'll try to capture some images at night and upload them. Maybe someone can help determine what the issue is.

I find that I have terrible visibility at night on my RC. I love riding at night, so this is a huge pain. Both the low and high beams seem to provide a weak, concentrated source of light. If a deer runs out, I'm going to have very little time to react. At first, I thought they were poorly...

Same thing for me, man. Was told it'd be in by end of April. Now, by end of May. Frustrating. Where are you located? I'm in Georgia. You'd think dealerships and KTM could coordinate this kind of stuff. I can buy bubblegum on Amazon and get a tracking number. They can't determine when...

I agree -- I think it looks much better than the U.S. version's bug eyes. Sweet looking ride. The bar mirrors look good too. Thank you for the pictures.

Yes sir! Once my bike gets to the dealership, I'll be on it right away. Thanks guys. I'm much more comfortable with my decision now.

What did you guys do with your front turn signals if the mirrors are removed? In the U.S. version, we have ugly bug eyes on the sides, but I believe most other versions have the turn signals integrated with the mirrors. I had intended to purchase the Euro-version integrated turn signals, but...

Thanks so much for the advice and positive words. You have helped ease my worries for sure! I am not terribly heavy -- about 180lbs. My concern isn't scraping the underside on level ground, but when the suspension compresses as you say. I ride up in the mountains and on twisting, downhill...

Hello, I had a few questions for RC 390 owners regarding their experiences with their bikes. My first bike was a Ninja 300, which was stolen a few weeks ago. I am very seriously considering purchasing the RC 390 when it arrives at my local dealership (in fact, I have a down payment on one...
