I'm just curious if the folks riding track exclusively are insuring their bikes and if so why.
I realize that some insurance companies cover track casualties and others don't.
Please share your experience.
I ordered my 2016 last September..... My dealer has been saying "any day now", since February. I've never owned a KTM before, is this normal? Most manufactures get their bikes out in January-February. Getting impatient, I've got a (pre-paid) track day in three weeks, and still don't have my bike...
Hi everyone,
I'm going to be taking my RC390 to its first track day at the end of May and was curious how much gas it eats up? Riding it hard on winding roads I can typically go 3-4 hours before I need to fill up (though my gas light starts to flicker around 3 hours). Curious how this would...
Here's one lap from my track day at COTA this past Saturday. The video was taken on board the riding coach, I'm on my RC390 wearing a blue T-shirt over my leathers. The video picks up in the back straight of the track.
First time riding the bike with the Yoyodyne slipper. I've never ridden a...
So this was on my gsxr 600 but all the skills in this video I learned on my rc390, so I figured i could post this here, this was my first time there and first track day on a 600. I figured rc390 fans would also appreciate.
edit: I forgot to add you were only allowed to pass on the start/finish...
I've been wearing my trusty Shoei RF-1100 for everything, but it's getting a little long in the tooth and, more importantly, the viewport height/position has been obscuring my view on the track. I'd like to pick up a new helmet just for track use -- what do you wear?
I'd prefer not to spend...
Hello fellow Coloradans!
I was thinking we should all have a meetup this month or April before the race season starts. My idea was to go to IMI Motorsports in Dacano CO for some track riding. That way the track riders can ride their bikes, and the street riders can also go without having to...
I've done two SoCal track days so far this year (1/22/16 Auto Club Speedway with Fastrack and 3/6/16 Streets of Willow with TrackXperience) and was the only RC390 in attendance at either.
Let's post here whenever we register for one so others might be able to join.
Hey All,
I just logged 2K miles on my bike (first bike) and finally took it out to a track day. I have a few friends that are very experienced that took me this far, so I feel like I had a solid foundation (Thanks to Keith Code too). Man what a great time, I am hooked. Lots of compliments and...
I did my very first track day last Friday at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA! It was insanely fun and I'm hooked for sure. I was running 2:05s by the end of the day and from YouTube videos it looks like the fast Ninja 300 guys are running 1:55 so I have a ways to go but I figure that's not bad...
Does anyone have race results or some other indication of what competitive RC390 lap times are for ACS in Fontana, CA? I just ran my first track day there (my first track day anywhere) and got into the 2:05s. I figure I'm leaving at least 15 seconds on the table, probably more. Any idea?
I'm letting my 390 go. Here's a pic, and a link to the CL ad. It's also on the ebay. Very sad to let it go...it's the most fun bike I've ever ridden on a track, by far.
2015 KTM RC390, track ready, flawless.
Hello All,
I've been lurking a while here, and just created a profile. I have a Supermoto background. I will always LOVE riding Supermoto on the track, but a SM track bike is just a lot of constant wrenching..... Got to be a bit too much for my likes.
Last fall, I took my wife 2013 Honda...
Hey guys, i've been a silent viewer for a long time, so finally decided to register up.
I'm from India and I have 2015 RC390 with a power tronic ecu, K&N airfilter, and a custom exhaust designed by myself.
I am mostly a track junkie, I hold the fastest lap for a novice on an RC390 In the...
Ok so I know this is stupid but oh well. I would really like to try to get my knee down in this abandoned cul de sac near my house. I have gone to a track day before and I was leaning the bike so much but I still couldnt get my knee down. x( after the track day my chicken strips were just...
Hi Guys,
Veteran rider, newbie racer. I bought the rc390 this past summer specifically for racing. I rode it on the streets for a few months, took one racing lesson, and now it's in the garage getting transformed into a legit track bike. Can't wait to hit the track in the spring again.
