I love you guys. I was in love with the RC390 too when I first saw it at the IMS. But I researched the Duke 390 forum first, you can see my join date here I'm one of the first, and saw all the issues with the Indian built bikes. I had a 2012 CBR250RA as my first ride and it gave me 7400 miles...

No, I'm sorry level 1 is the least experienced group. So I did that 1.7 CCW on the 27th and the best I could manage was 1:53.99. I was hot and I only recorded the last 2 sessions. I'm sure I could do a little better on my stock, except for Q3 tires, CBR500 but not much. Faster than some but...

I did that track day on Monday. I had a great day. I couldn't get a lap time, and I'm disappointed by that, because the track attack app I had in my leathers pocket kept losing GPS signal. I can say I was much faster that the one Duke 390 and the RC 390 guy that were there, but rider skill...

Yes level one are the most experienced riders and usually have the fastest laps. You can find liter bikes in all 3 levels though. Ash: I doubt I would ever make it into a race, but I love track days and that gives me a feel for what it's like. I like the track days too because it's so...

It's hard to believe a cup bike could be so fast. I remember very few level ones would break the 1:30 minute mark. I doubt I could get anywhere close to a 1:42, but who knows. I was all over the 600's passing them only to have them fly by on the straights, holding me up in the corners, or...

I wish I did but I didnt have anyone to time me and I don't have GPS. 4 hours isn't that long I agree, but I have done 12 20 minute sessions; the video was 13.5 minutes long. I timed a couple of people when I corner worked and the level one liter bikes were in the low 1:30s. I would...

That is the 1.7 CCW. I love that one for my track days. I corner work Station 3 there also. You look good in Rattlesnake, that's a tough set of corners and took me quite a while to get the hang of it and I'm still lacking there. I like to close up on the faster cycles by the end. Then I...

So after a trip to my investment guy on the CBR250R ABS, I decided to stop by the KTM Dealer right by my house on the way home. When I got there a RC390 was chained up by the front door with scrubbed in tires. I went in and talk to the owner. He said he had been riding it and I was free to...

All of the above plus failed radiator fans.

Actually not. I have been haunting the Duke390 forum and they have lots of reports of running hot. I am so disappointed by the turn signals not being where the IMS bikes were, that was one cool feature.

That seems way too tight. My CBR250 says 20-30mm.

motoarch: that would be from Wikipedia.

I had the rigatoni framed one so it wasn't too bad. Wiki said they dynoed in the low to mid 40s with a claimed 52 crank hp on the early models. Mine seemed like all I could ever want. It would easily get to 100mph, but with no wind protection I only did that like twice.

guzz46: Yes you have a coupe of inches of inseam on me, so for my height my legs are a touch shortish. It wasn't bad but I couldn't flat foot it unless my junk was up to the tank. I could still get enough down to feel fine with it. BTW what RPMs are you at in 6th at 62mph (100kph) and at...

. I hope these load, we shall see.

PM me an phone number and I will text the pics. Or I will try from my phone. Ok the cup bike is a whole unit, there is no kit (all info according to KTM north Texas regional manager), all parts will be available separate. The price is about $10,000 usd, and he said you must hold an AMA...

Will do gentlemen. I will snap some photos with my iPhone. And then I may need some help getting them up. I could email them to another member on here.

Like it says I'm going to the IMS in Dallas this Sunday. And I was wondering if anyone had any questions about the RC390 you all wanted me to ask, or try to answer? I'm excited to see it and sit on it. Just post up those questions and I will get the answers. And I suppose I will do a walk...

Teknic, Teknic, and more Teknic. Supervent Pro jacket, Supervent mesh pants, Supervent short mesh gloves. Chicane leather perforated jacket, Murcury leather perforated pants with sliders, Lightning leather gloves. I also have some leather waterfroof winter gloves. Boots are Sidi Vertigo Air...

Too cool. Thanks. I did all 3 bikes I'm considering (RC390, R3, CBR500RA) and the bike I have now, CBR250RA, and a CBR600RR for comparison. Makes you realize how small my 250 is to the 500, and how close the RC is to a super sport, and how much leg room the RC has.
