Nah, I've been there before. The reason I ask is because with my current bike, 2009 FZ6, I was very limited in how fast I could go before I got rearsets. Once I got rearsets I got considerably faster.
I actually tend to have my foot maybe a little bit too far out on my pegs causing it to hit...
My organization doesn't require water for coolant, at least not in my group.
Suspension for sure helps, but is it necessary? Also, is there a cheap alternative to spend thousands that would get it 95% there? I know I could splurge on the WP Cup bike suspension, but maybe I'd like to do...
Just curious, what do you guys think the minimum mods are to get the RC390 track day ready?
Obviously you can just roll it off the show room floor and run it, but is there anything that's so bad it needs to be fixed asap?
Those are gorgeous photos.
You don't happen to have high resolution versions you would be willing to share? I'd love to put them into my RC390 wallpaper folder.

Last weekend at the Chicago IMS I stumbled upon the RC 390. I had previously read about it, but never really gave it much thought. I got to sit on both the cup bike and the regular street going variant. Needless to say, I'm impressed. The build quality isn't quite what I would want it to be, but...
Well I sat on one today, I think I'm going to take the plunge back into a small displacement machine. I'm purchasing a home in june, so I'll be looking to get one after that.
I wasn't too sold on the triple setup (with it being part of the handlebar) and you can tell that it's a budget bike...
