KTM RC 390 2014

The RC390 has opened my eyes and I hope that there is a lot more to come with small displacement. Low weight still leads to the greatest enjoyment when riding a motorbike, although you can't do without a bit of power either. But the 390 somehow managed to inspire me with its 44 hp and to break me of my addiction to even more power. I'm going to build a small race track 2.5 km long with 14 bends and then there'll be a 1000PS RC390 Cup.

Low weight

Sufficient power

Pleasant geometry

Unique design, Great features

Full performance accessory range.

Spongy and weak brakes

Insufficient lean angle clearance for race track

Stony hard seat
