    Being a single

    The big thing to me is parts. I campaigned an Aprilia RS250 Cup bike years ago and had to give it up because of the fact that Aprilia could not get parts to the dealers in a timely manner. I have found that getting parts for KTM dirt bikes is not that big of a deal in the US but not as easy as...

    I would expect KTM and Bajaj motors are keeping close attention to quality control if they are bringing the RC390/Duke to the US. They know what they are up against in the long run. I've owned KTM dirt bikes in the past and have never had any mechanical issues with them at all. I am more...

    RC390 aftermarket hard parts?

    Wondering if anyone has been able to find on ebay, etc any aftermarket hard parts available for the RC390. (I've been searching UK and India) I'm particularly interested in the upper triple clamp. It seems that both the street and cup bikes have the handlebars inserted into the upper triple...

    Questions: RC390 Cup vs RC390 Street Version

    Myself and a friend sat down last weekend at the local KTM dealer and placed deposits on Cup bikes. The dealers understanding was that KTM will require a AFM/AMA/CCS/WERA/etc roadrace license to purchase the bikes but other then that the dealer said the Cup bikes could be ordered. To "race" in...

    Questions: RC390 Cup vs RC390 Street Version

    Hey VAG944, Did the dealer tell you this information? I'd actually prefer if that was the case, but I was told that the Cup bike did have some slight modifications to the FI mapping/etc. (i.e. HP limit for ADAC Cup racing rules) I agree with your choice of add ons too. I'd like to see the...

    What are you planning to do with your RC390?

    Planning to use it as a weekend twisty road toy and track bike. :D It's going to be the exact opposite of what I ride on the street now, a BMW R1200GS Adventure.

    Questions: RC390 Cup vs RC390 Street Version

    Hi All, Wanted to ask the group if anyone knew if KTM was placing restrictions on ordering the RC390 Cup (race version) bike (i.e. must be racing in the ADAC series, etc) I currently have deposit on a Cup bike primarily because I'd like to get the upgraded WP suspension and exhaust. I know...

    Hello from the SF Bay Area

    Thanks. Not racing currently but used to on a Honda HRC RS125 for a few seasons. Decided to give it another go after being away from it for a little while. Looks like the RC390 should be a great ride.
