2016 KTM RC390 Bought it brand new for a ride up the coast with a friend and it performed flawlessly. 2016 has the better mirrors, better tires, and a great warranty! Break in was done by the book with first service including oil change and valve inspection completed at Scuderia West. Second oil...

I owned a 2015 earlier this year and now have a 2016. My friend and I went on a 1300 mile ride up the coast and he has the 2015 so we compared the two next to each other. -Mirrors on the 2016 have way better visability, but dont look as nice as 2015. -Tires are Metzler on the 2016, 2015 had...

Dont close this thread! Its one of the best discussions on this forum!

After our journey down the coast years ago on our RS50's my best friend and I have been talking about taking the coast ride north. Now it appears this long time dream is coming to fruition and we will be heading out on our KTM RC390's September 17th and returning around the end of the month! If...

Those guys at Motorcycle.com are tripping LOL! Most experts reviewed the same bikes and always the RC390 or Duke 390 comes out on top. Heck, I've owned and ridden 40 motorcycles over the past 25 years and decided the RC390 was so good I just bought my second one today! :D

Thanks for all the low offers and especially the thread jack! You guys helped me to keep the new seat and guess what?! I just bought a brand new '16 RC390 so I can now use the seat myself :cool:

I don't recall reading a comparison that put the "best bike of the four" in last place. Pretty sure I read most of the comparison articles and remember it being the most suited to track days and canyon carving of the four compared.

I have a brand new in the box never mounted KTM ergo seat. No longer for sale, I bought another RC!

FYI, California already allows lane splitting this is just the states attempt at regulating it. This was really a non issue for many years, not sure why it has gained so much attention in past few years. Maybe riders on 1100 CBGSXRRR's shooting gaps in traffic at 70+ MPH startling old ladies in...

Great info on a cheap Mod! I Decided to remove the passenger pegs for a cleaner look and to remove a little weight too. Thought I would post a pic of mine and also the fastener info for those looking to do this in the future.

During the shake down ride I found it difficult to see the dash display due the PO using improper cleaning technics. Luckily I have a set of Novus plastic cleaners/polishers to help the situation. It's not perfect, there are a few really deep scratches still visible, but at least I should be...

Love that KSR 80! I was riding a Derbi 70 Motard a few years ago and you were on that KSR 80, lots of fun!

That is the funniest thing Ive seen all day!

Just picked up a like new RC390 this past weekend! I had a deposit on one at the local dealer here in San Francisco back in 2014, but couldn't justify the $7500+ they wanted out the door when they finally arrived last year so Iv'e been waiting for the prices to become reasonable and my patience...
