Hi Bob, a great review. Thank you. This little KTM has needed an update for a few years now and in my humble opinion they have made some really sensible and affordable upgrades that are otherwise reserved for more expensive bikes. It will make for an awesome bike for those who want to explore and learn the art of racing or at least track riding. Nothing is more rewarding than going around a higher capacity Sport bike on something that doesn’t make even a quarter of the power. 👍😎🇦🇺

As someone who has ridden the 2022 890 Adventure quite a bit, I don't see anything that bike has that the 390 series is missing now. They have the exact same hardware when it comes to tech. The only actual difference between the 390 series and the 890 lineup is engine size, seat height, and clearance. It actually convinced me to just buy a 390 adventure instead, I don't need the 890 for twice as much. Same experience on a 390 minus a little bit of horsepower but nbd unless you are a speed demon wanting to ride your bike above 150km/hr.

Thanks Bob, in MX we are still waiting for it but someone mentioned that it will come. The expected cost also is below the R3 and Ninja 400. The adjustable suspension and EMU with the leaning sound great so I can't really wait to see it here and take a spin.

Even though I have an unrestricted license and I have had bigger bikes in the past, I now have the earlier version of the RC390 and it is probably my favourite of all of them. If the new one is improved over mine then even better.

At highway speeds in top gear the R3 is actually faster on roll-on. In every other stat, this is "better" though. Except comfort, smoothness, and fuel economy. The RC390 sure does look special though.

Other testers complained about the quickshifter not being prime time ready (not enough time to iron out the software wrinkles on real world riding ?). Truth be told I would rather deal with the TRASH level suspension of the other brands and their almost excellent engine reputation and lower admission fee than rolling the dice with KTM.

Wonder if they've addressed the overheating problems? Anyone buying one should read Cycle World's take on it. They would not recommend that you buy the older version because of reliability issues. This thing has so much great stuff built-in though , that I think it's a steal! One thing they don't mention is that you have to be a certain size to fit. If you're over 200lbs then you'll look like a bear on a bicycle. It's a small bike. Don't kid yourself.

@motojc 4 ай бұрын
I got a really bad sample of the brakes. Very inconsistent and lack of power. I had to have the whole front system replaced. And the result was night and day. The other short point I really hate about this bike is the engine powerband. It has no power at 6th gear below 6k RPM. So on the highway, if you just close the throttle for a sec, you have to remember to downshift, or the power won't come back anytime soon. So most of the time 6h gear is not usable even on highway with traffic. On the other side, very good MPG, consistently in the 60s which makes the small tank slightly more tolerable.

Got to ride one fell in love going to do what I can to make it happen. If I wasn’t dumping 3k in one car and 2 into the wife’s I would have it already but as we don’t want to spend a rediculous 40 plus on a new car fixing the older ones comes before I can get a new toy. Springtime looks like my best time for a purchase and I can wait considering the bikes I already have but finally my cfo has had enough of my lamenting and has conceded
