2017 RC390 vs 2018 RC390R

Met a 2017 RC390 at Thunderhill last weekend. I'm on a 2018 RC390R. It was cool riding with a similar class bike and sort of comparing apples to apples. Both bikes were stock, hope you enjoy the video.

cool stuff. I don't know enough about racing bikes to make any informed chat relating to the racing,but it looks like fun

Looking pretty good! I was out there that day too, but I was riding my yellow DRZsm.

Whew, I was back out there this weekend. Great weather, great folks, saw a bunch of lightweight bikes and some nice RCs which made me happy. Met this really fast Ninja towards the end of the last session so that was a blast:

Next steps: Work on my braking and reduce coasting.
