2017 KTM RC390 Race Bike | Motorcyclist

Max from the SF Bay Area has been attending Chicho's school and working hard. It paid off with a win this weekend at the Circuito de Pompous in Italy! Check it out on the Road Racing World site.

I was at Laguna Seca today for the world super bike races. As some of you may know today they ran the KTM RC Cup bikes. I walked the pits and took photos of most of the RCs. When I get back to my computer I'll upload and post them here for you to drool over. The race was good too. It was nice...

AMCN has a nice little puff article on the RC.

Ari Henning recently posted an article about his RC390 race prep. He took it up to Sonoma and not only won, but set a new lap record too. ;) He's got a lot of nice aftermarket parts on his bike. Definitely something to drool over. :) Looks like the Daily Motion video wont embed. :confused...

RMU makes a full line up of mini racers. From 50cc to 250cc. They focus on the "pre" classes, such as Pre-GP, and Pre-Moto3. The smaller two stroke bikes all employ some variation of the Derbi Euro3 engine with different Malossi top ends. The 125 2T, and the 250 4T are TM Racing engines...

There is an inexpensive EGT solution out there. It's been posted on MA previously. I ordered one of these as a test. It showed up quickly, but then I applied 12 volts to it from a moto battery it smoked. :( Also the lead is too short to use even on a moped. I also ordered a Stage6 EGT...

Big note on Red Racing Parts I ordered this screen and a Domino choke lever assembly from them on March 23rd 2016, and they charged me for the pleasure. Today it is May 26th (65 days later) I regularly email these guys about my order--I still have not received any shipments from them! Their...

I think I probably would have stayed with the more stock bodywork, but I have to like what they did with the engine mod. :) Apologies if this has been posted already. I did look around and search a bit first. :cool:

Pretty amazing how well the Duke 125 did in sales last year in Italy compared to all of the other KTM bikes. Too bad they refuse to sell these bikes in the States. They probably would sell more here than they do in Italy--small penis disease not with standing. Moto e scooter. Chi vende cosa -...

I should probably wait a while to post this--like once I have it actually mounted on the bike, but ah, well... There's a bit of a story that goes with this little treat. My friend Greg got me checking out the Tyga website. I noticed that they make some parts for an Aprilia, but the model number...

I did a little write up of Master Cylinders for the Aprilia Forum. Since the front brakes on these bikes are very similar this information could be useful for some folks over here too. If you feel compelled to tell me that your stock brakes are just fine please refrain. I don't need to hear how...

This is not my bike--just relaying a Craig's list post The seller didn't post any photos.

Seems like a few people on here might like to chat about MotoGP. How about the new Suzuki bike in the qualifiers today? Pretty amazing performance setting the new lap record and taking positions one and two. The new engine they received for this race revs an additional 500 rpm. Pol, and...

This is hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1z8MTAehSU

Have you cats encountered a stator issue with the 390? One of my friends picked up a Duke 390 a couple of weeks ago. He's had a couple of issues. First the radiator fan came apart, and most recently (today) the stator failed. The shop is going to order a replacement--so for now he rides with a...

While searching for parts to make my Derbi whole I came across this listing. This is the bike that won the last two stroke MotoGP race in Valencia. If you remember Maverick was sponsored by Paris Hilton, thus the pink and blue theme. In one of the photos you can see Mark's Derbi too.

From time to time KTM brings out the big orange truck full of their latest toys to give folks a chance to take a test ride. They do this because most dealers will not let you test ride a bike. If you live in the SF Bay Area this month of June on the 20th Motion Pro is going to be hosting one of...
