I think KTM said they won't have the production version of these ready until 2017. And I'm sure it will look a lot more civilized when it's required to comply to the rules of the road and when the bean counters have established what each part may cost :)

As far as I've heard, AFM will run Ninja 300, R3 and RC390 together. Can't say I'm not a bit worried (I'm building a Ninja 300 race bike). //Kalle

[/LIST] [/LIST] I'm not much of an expert, but this screams really off suspension setup to me. Tires that are in the air doesn't grip well :D

Just pulled the trigger and ordered all the parts for my Ninja 300 race bike. It will be a potent package with a nice HP boost, Ohlins in the back and full cartridge kit in the front. Sadly, it will not have a potent rider :D. I think I'll keep my deposit for a while though, if the KTM...

I hope it's a cartridge kit and not a full fork replacement - full forks would make the bike illegal for production/stock in many race series.

Are you located inside or outside Europe? If outside, please let me know how you set up the order :)

This, seriously! Every time I think about the fact that I have to sell my 675R my stomach gets all twisted up :(

I hope you're not right ;) I've almost made up my mind to skip the RC390 and turn my Ninja 300 into a race bike. There are just so much knowledge from Ninja 250s on how to make them go fast, and it will probably take a few years for the 390s to be fully figured out. Hopefully with some...

Which exhaust are you thinking of? The Akro powerparts exhaust is only a slip-on system right, not a full system?

They will be, but the power parts are notoriously expensive to buy individually.

Hmm, buying race exhaust, plastics, front forks, rear shock, upgraded brakes, rearsets etc etc will probably be more than the $4500 premium the cup bike offers, and I still need all of that. Anyway, we'll see what I'll do, will probably start an email thread with RaceTech to see what they can...

So sad that it seems they couldn't figure out a way to offer these bikes to the general public though. Or maybe they will, but nothing has been said yet.

I have a feeling I will have to find my own way to build a competitive bike...disappointing :(

It depends. I have a Daytona 675R. Buying the R-parts separately is many many thousands of dollars more expensive than the added retail price. Let me just keep my hope, alright :P

I desperately want it to be a kit (a reasonably priced one that is!) so that I can choose which parts I put on the bike - I need the bike to be AFM Production legal.

Try to get a straight answer if the Cup bike is going to be a separate SKU or a kit? Thanks!

You're right, I read that too fast - and looking at the past year it seems they have indeed paid out contingency for RC8 riders per event.

Hope ABS can at least be permanently set to off though - on my Daytona it's always a bummer to exit the hot pits just to realize that I forgot to turn the ABS to track mode (it's a pretty big difference in feel in the last 20%).

Just realized Pirelli produces the SuperCorsa SC in the stock sizes. That is without a doubt what I'll be running on the track :)

Though it seems you have to race all rounds to be eligible - doubt I'll have a 390 ready for the first AFM round in Buttonwillow.
