Its not just the cup bike that has great brakes, mine are completely standard apart from the brake lever, and they're very powerful too, I'm in NZ so I don't know if our bikes got different pads to yours, but some Americans think the brakes are great, and others don't, so I don't know whats going on there.
It's interesting to note that in the shop manual for the RC it makes no mention of exercising the ABS modulator during power (forced fluid) bleeding, yet other KTM bikes have a procedure / service software for this procedure. Also the same process is found in BMW manuals for bikes equipped with the same Bosch system. This may be the wrong thread, but I put it here because IMO Guzz and I ended up with bikes that have properly bled brakes, Maybe???
The 'guy' in the third photo is a girl that weighs about a hundred and 5 pounds. (She's tiny)

Thanks, emeglasson, for this great image. My rc390, Eric's, and my husband's new cup bike.
what type of seat is on the black rc?

That's a custom saddle we made for her. It is made of sheet metal, folded and welded into shape. It is painted black and has 1/4" thick seat foam adhered to it. She couldn't quite touch the ground with both feet with the stock saddle. This one sits about an inch and a half lower than stock, so she can touch comfortably. This allowed her to keep the stock ride height, and not have to fiddle with the suspension.
Our solution required only a little bit of welding, and some work with an angle grinder. I would think between something like that and one of the lowering kits, she could fit fine. If you want to see more detailed photos of how we built it, let me know, I could probably get some pics in the next few days.
