KTM RC 390 2020

KTM RC 390 2020

If you can afford to pay around 8,500 euros (Germany) or just under 9,000 euros (Austria) for the RC390 R and then have around 11,000 flakes left over for the SSP 300 kit, you will get world championship-ready racing goods. "Ready to Race", the name says it all, really. In this case, "Ready to win the World Championship" would almost be more accurate, because the parts kit is actually so complete and complies with the FIM regulations. KTM is doing everything it can to accommodate all those who are considering a serious entry into the racing world, especially of course all the young hopefuls out there. KTM Customer Racing, I pull my helmet! Bravo!

Never before has it been easier to get hold of a World Championship-ready racing machine.

The realisation that I will probably not become a gifted ring rider.

True supersport looks for everyday use. Despite its aggressive and credible styling, the CBR500R's everyday package is a delight. Low fuel consumption and a comfortable riding position make it a feel-good companion that has been significantly upgraded for 2022. The chassis and brakes now match the CBR's aspirations, and with the right accessories it shows its all-round qualities. Only the shock absorber leaves room for improvement when the going gets sporty.
