I read this forum daily.... There seems to be quite a few negative posts about owners that are NOT happy with their decision to buy the RC390. This negative cycle is getting me down, so I thought I would start a positive post.
I bought my RC with eyes wide open. I read this forum daily, for many months before buying my RC.... I will admit that I was slightly nervous, and chose NOT to follow my "gut instinct" that said NOT to purchase this bike. (My first KTM) I'm proud to say, that I have no regrets! Has my bike been perfect? -no.... Has it been the most fun I've had in my 39 years on a motorcycle- HELL YES!!!!!
I have had few "quality control" issues (as many owners have).... Mine have all been pretty minor- (radiator cap, and a minor crack in my right mid-fairing). I did an aftermarket exhaust, and a PCV (to keep temperatures down). I also chose to upgrade my OEM cooling fan, with the SPAL aftermarket fan that most folks do after their OEM fan fails.... In my humble opinion, if I can spend $40 on a part that may save my head gasket, and possibly a warped head, why wouldn't I do that???? Why wouldn't EVERYONE do the same? Because not everyone in like me.
I seriously LOVE my RC, and wouldn't trade it for any other sport bike on the market today [emoji41][emoji1360][emoji4]!!! I love it because when I'm on track, I can get passed on the straights by "the guy" on the Ducati 1199 Pingalie, and have that same rider ask me "How did you stay with me so long after I passed you?"- THAT makes me smile [emoji4]. IMHO, going fast in a straight line takes ZERO talent... Going fast on a small bike- THAT takes talent!!!
I would really like to hear from other RC riders, that LOVE their bike as much as I love mine. I'd also like to hear WHY you love your bike. Lets fill this forum with positive posts, and maybe cancel out some of the negative posts that seem to be the "norm" here......
