KTM RC 390 My Impressions

No problem. I know OP is interested

Ha ha I might, but still, 41K more will get me a Honda 650 ( which is on my list as well)

But the 390 is IMO a great looking bike. Why not make it 200/210K they for sure would sell a lot more.

Unless living in someplace like the North (endless twisty mountain roads) and it was a bike just for fun, I couldn't justify getting it before a CBR650.

Expensive for a 390... IMO

yeah... since theyre in similar price range, it makes sense to compare them..... for my tastes, this is my analysis

cbr650

+ sounds great

+ good power level...enough for highway, without being ridiculous in the city

+ looks pretty good

- heavy

- doesnt fit through traffic as easy as smaller bikes

rc390

+ lightweight and thin... highly maneuverable in traffic

+ looks fantastic

+ rarity/exclusivity... wont see one at every stoplight

- very high price per hp... not quite enough power for highway riding

- sounds terrible... even with aftermarket exhaust

duke 390 is a more reasonable 239k....still pricey, but gettting close to where it should be.... but doesnt look nearly as good as the RC390

Im a KTM fan , but , just like KTM made the biggest marketing / advertising blunder in history when ( on advice from a guy who wasnt qualified ) they turned down the oppurtunity to supply bikes to Charlie and Ewan for their now world famous "long way" trips , they have gone and shot themselves in the foot again , by missing another great sales oppurtinity . Price these bikes more in line with other contries , and sell loads . Just take a look at Ducati now . facepalm.gif
