    Hello RC owners. My name's Paul and in Omaha, NE. I'm a long time forum lurker but I think I'm finally decided an RC390. I'm looking to get back into track riding after a few years off and narrowed the candidate for a track bike to a Ninja 400, an R3 or an RC390. I had several track bikes...

    Nearly 1 season racing, how does RC compare to rivals?

    Interested to hear from racers how RC fares to competition in terms of power, handling, and fun factor. Surely, lots of you racers were previously racing either a ninja or Honda. Ninjas seem to own the grid, R3 is very new and Honda is underpowered. My Rc is stock and I'm contemplating putting...

    Comparisons between RC390 and Ninja 300

    Hello all, I've been looking to upgrade my ninja 300 to a slightly more speedy bike. I have been very happy with the ninja 300 but I am looking for just a little more spunk in terms of get up and go, but I am not worried at all about increasing top end speed. I don't really like the riding...
