I'll just post this here for you guys. Beginner-ish Sportbike Shootout + Video Quick background on me... I started off with a deposit on an RC 390 back in march but shopped bikes heavily while waiting for it... Ended up with a new R3 last week partly due to the street price being $1500 -...

Well, my story comes to an end here... I had achange of heart and put another deposit on an RC for $6586 otd. Been waiting for over a month for it to arrive. Dealer just says "any day now" every time I call. I was initially told "days, but that turned to weeks, and now it's May. In the meantime...

Wow, he called the RC ugly. No accounting for taste. One of the big reasons I'm holding out for an RC is looks. I think it looks cooler than any other sport bike on the road, including the big sport bikes. Its like a fresh approach... Its not all bout the plastics. To an average person who knows...

So for on road riding there wouldn't be much use for something like this I assume.

That's actually not too bad. Most dealers are adding in destination charges of $500-$1000. Two dealers in my area I got out the door pricing of $6998 from one and $6585 from another. For this season in the USA, paying anywhere under $6500 would be considered a great deal for an RC390. (out the...

Any others. I imagine these photos are very useful for those considering a purchase.

I hear you, but the nearest track to me is 2.5 hours way

You guys are amazing. Thanks, so helpful! Anyone else? Side profile with leg up/down would be perfect.

Thanks for the reply. Probably won't be racing it, just using it for spirited rides around some country roads and some strip cruising. I guess I can always do a rider course refresher. They are free in PA.

Any rc390 owners, please post pictures of yourself sitting on the bike. Include your height and weight. It would help potential buyers visualize what their body height would look like on the bike. I have seen and sat on the bike myself, but I regret not getting a picture of myself sitting on the...

10 years after selling my last bike (2001 sv650s) I am returning to riding. I am having a lot more nervous feelings about it now that I have made the decision and the day approaches when the new bike arrives. Memories of some of the close calls I had with unattentive cagers have started coming...

Trust me, in not knocking the RC! I actually have a confession of sorts. I'll update you all soon! Let's just say this thread is far from dead...

Does KTM require high octane fuel in the RC390?

I'm in PA, tax for me on the bike is $329. DMV $120. That's under $6000. But they not only hit you with that $500 destination charge, they tax you on it too.

Yes, I see that now. It's just every time I've bought a new bike I never paid full destination fee and never paid a set up fee. This is the first time I've gotten into the arena of trying to acquire a high demand bike through. For instance, I just got a quote on a new r3 for $5385 OTD (...
