https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD_n0yIzjyI Is this a common failure on the RC390? I was looking to get one before but wound up with a Ninja 300, figured I'd wait out the RC390 for a couple years until used models with slipper clutches hit the market. It seems I've read at least a handful of...

It would be, no doubt, but we're talking about a $10,000 investment versus about $6000. Money's not the big factor for me, but value is, and that $4000 for 77cc more displacement and a small weight advantage don't add up for me, and that's not including the poor stock brakes on the RC and lack...

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I've been looking at (except thinking M4 full exhaust + Area P Tuner). The advantage of the RC is that it has a bigger engine, and a small weight advantage plus the weight distribution is slightly better (reportedly more over the front end). I'm still curious...

Really, so any shock that fits the 99-02 R6 fits without modification? Correct rod length and everything? *edit* found the thread about the R6 shock, and the JRi's and Ohlins. Seems like in the last 2-3 weeks a ton of options have opened up, might have me on an RC 390 instead of a used 300. No...

Yeah, you pretty much understand what's on my mind with regards to the small bikes. I had originally expected the RC390 to be a $7000-8000 bike, so I understand that at a $5499 MSRP I get why it doesn't have top flight suspension and brakes out of the box. For me it's not about how much I...

What I really want is a bike that has 300-400cc engine and has a suspension quality and brake feel like my 2012 ZX6R did. I don't need 100hp+ at all, more like 50 is fine for me, but I want that quality suspension and braking and I had thought the RC390 might be that bike before it came out. I'm...

I've read the reviews and they mention that the shock has terribly soft damping and that the brakes feel soft. Anyone ridden the R3 or Ninja for comparison sake regarding the shock and the brakes? I'm torn between getting an RC390 for $6500, or picking up a used Ninja 300 for $3500 and adding...

Still available? I'm checking on the shipping costs right now.

I'd have to test ride one too, before making a real decision, but I somehow doubt dealers will be offering test rides until they wind up having bikes sit in the lot for a month or two. RC390's are still too hot, I think.

2015 Entry-Level Sportbike Shootout - Motorcycle USA The KTM is actually heavier than the Honda, although far better. Strange thing I'm noticing in all these reviews is that the Yamaha R3 seems to be all over the place depending on who reviewed it. Some say the brakes and suspension are...
