Appreciate you recognizing the small bike category that is so often overlooked by the industry 👍
Right?!? Entry level bikes need to be badass if we want to grow this sport that we all love so much!
This is going to be a journey worth travelling. Can't wait for Episode 2. Ride safely 🤓🏍️🏍️💙
I have that exact bike - it's a blast. Got my race license on it last year but I'm thinking of building a smaller bike for the track for this season.
Looking forward to watching the build progress!
I can't wait to see where you go with this. I really want an NC750X, but not so sure it'd be a track bike. lol
I have wanted this exact bike, for this exact reason for three years… following with EXTREME INTEREST!
With the intro I was expecting the R6, you were describing it .. but then you revealed the RC and it made sense... Both are great bikes and disruptive, enjoy.
I have a 17 390 Duke - super happy with it. Looking forward to this…
Congratulations on the purchase, have fun!
Congrats on the new to you bike. Mid May is just around the corner, but I need the weather to warm up a bit to start preparing for track season. I'll just need to live variously through you videos until April.
So exciting to see your enthusiasm, which is contagious! This is gonna be fun‼️👍🙏
Really looking forward to the series. Great concept👍👍
Congrats on your new bike. Excited for you and looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Thank you!
enjoy this channel, i have been searching for a bike from my past for 3 to5 years. Its a great to find the bike you have been looking for
That will be a fun one, enjoy.
I’m so excited for this series! I just bought an R3 for the same reason. I can’t wait to prep the bike along with you.
Cool! Team building!
Looking forward to this series!
Awesome! Me too!!
Great stuff can't wait to see what you are going to do...
I've been watching these bikes since they came out, and have told myself every year that this will be the year I get one.... fast forward to 2022, and now I'm actively looking for the new 22 model and can't find one available in my area of Northern California... wtf. I love this bike so much, and appreciate your videos giving it lots of love.
The bike exceeded all my expectations and I've grown to really adore it. The 2022 will only be better.
Looking forward to following this
Congrats to your new bike. 👍
ayyy, one of us!!!! Welcome to the orange cult lol
READY TO RACE
So excited. I have my MOD 1 booked in a couple of weeks.
Deep inside I was hoping, that it was going to be another Duc (maybe an old bevel?), but I see why you went that route... congrats on KTM 390, this is going to be an exciting build!
Well, I almost bought a Cagiva Alazzurra - but then I came to my senses. 🤣
Woohoo! A new build. Can’t wait👍
The bike looks like new, very good deal.
Love your content mate, keep it up. I use a 390 Duke as a commuter, and its so much better than that. Its in for a new shock (7000 miles) so I'm using the BMW F800GT to commute but can't wait to get the little fella back. Cuts through traffic like a knife.
Hopefully it's reliable. I know Ari Henning switched his track toy from a RC390 to an R3 because he got tired of replacing head gaskets. Though I've heard that the head gasket issue might have been fixed after 2015
The 2017, supposedly has the new head design with the upgraded water jacket bridge. So here's to hoping.
2017 model year got all the kinks worked out like new head design, stronger piston and other small engine tweeks. You got to remember that 2015 was the first year for this bike. First year anythings are going to have their share of problems.
Looking forward to following along! If I bought a track-only bike, I’d lean toward this, too!
I'm 74 and own a new Ducati Multi V4S. I'll do some tripping with it. But for raw fun the 2016 KTM RC390 I own is a gas. The first owner did all the mods so I may miss one but here goes: Yoshimura pipes (love the sound), Power Commander, JRI air shock and spring, after market airbox, after market windshield, deluxe grips, after market rear sets, KTM upgraded seat. I love that bike and ride it much too fast. But I ain't getting any younger. I'll follow your customization with great interest.
Awesome. Sounds like we have very similar tastes in motorcycles!
Sounds fun!
Oh no.... It's exactly the bike I want for exactly the reasons I want it and now I'm going to know how to make it even better. Better start dedicating garage space now! Hopefully I'll see you ripping this at UMC soon!
Right on!! Hopefully it'll be rideable for the first day - coming up fast (thankfully)
Looking forward to following along. I've farkled my '19 390 Duke within an inch of its life and it continues to impress me.
Tempted but I’m 6’1” - I’ll need to find one to try for size. These episodes are perfect timing - tho UK track day season is only 2 months away!!!!🥳
Ha! You big guys got picked first for sports. Us little... er... "normal sized" dudes get to ride wee-bikes in relative comfort.
You could be surprised, I’m 6’2” and currently learning to ride on a Duke 125 which shares a frame with the 390’s and I’ve not had any problems on my 2 hour journeys. Might be different with the sporty ergonomics but I’d say sit on one before dismissing it
At 6'0", I don't feel clownish on my RC390. I cannot, however, get into a full tuck position. I need to move the clip-ons a bit forward or get the seat back an inch or so. I think getting more weight back might be better because the rear will break loose way before the front end. By the way I'm 55 years old and have close to 40 years on bikes, from my old CB550 Cafe racer, to the long serving BMW R1100RS that I replaced with my RC390 two summers ago.
Small bikes rule!!
I’m more of an Adventure rider myself. But I always love your videos. You are the only not Adventure channel I follow.
Wow. High praise! Thank you!!
This is going to be awesome!
6:00 So true!
This is going to be fun!
I’ve been riding bikes for 30+ years on the dirt and street. I picked up a 17 RC 390 a couple years ago as a small track bike and it has been so much fun to ride and learn new and exciting things on I would never attempt on my Ducati. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this as compared to what I have done to mine.
Bruh, that's a sic bike! And I thought you got a GB like me 😁 Love the bike and heard really cool stuff about these KTMs and was shocked to hear you got it for only $3.5k but with the issues you mentioned I totally get it. Can't wait to see the next video and the debut of it on the track when all is said and done 👍
Now I want one
My first bike (as an adult, I had a little dirt bike as a kid) was a Ninja 250. Great first bike, had tons of fun with it. I actually thought about the ktm 390 as a small upgrade but in the end went for something bigger. However I'm sure this is a great bike, might get one if they're that cheap now.
Congrats! Great video. And all the best for your new princess. 🤩
My dad was thinking about a CBR 250 RR mc22....the rocketship from another era :)).....
Realized that one is a bit too loud for today's "Euro 5 emissions"...
Can’t wait
Very nice.
I'm super excited about this!! I'm turning mine into a track bike, since it's been sitting since 2019.
Right on!
Looking forward to some exciting content
I love your measurement- GPD 😂😂😂
OK, I just "discovered" Track Days at my local track last summer.
I am all in on this series, LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!! 😃👍👍👍❤🏍
Absolutely can not wait to see the other videos you have coming for this series!
Welcome along for the ride!
@@CanyonChasers 😎👊
amazing!
i have an mv agusta f3 as my dedicated track bike, and last year, i bought an rc390 (2016) for the city (wanted something small nimble and wont be under-used all the time in traffic). but i got an amazing deal from a fellow who strangely had it plated but setup for the track! ohlins kt303 rear, andreani front, powerparts rearsets, driven triple tree, akra pipe. like the works! it was too good of a deal to pass up. took it to the track on a very fast local track, and couldn't believe how much fun i had riding it and passing much bigger bikes in turns. was bouncing off the rev limiter the entire time:) real eye opener of an experience and now want to make it a full time track bike as well! only embarrassing thing was realizing how much i forgot how to: use normal shifting, use a clutch, blip on down shifts and not get the rear to dance. first cpl of sessions i rode like a royal amateur :) very excited for this series! amazing content as always dave.
Excellent choice (says Duke 390 owner!)
For your budget, I would go: fresh fork internals, fresh shock, power commander, sintered pads. Crash protection if you've got anything left over.... assuming tyres are good.
Looking forward to seeing this play out!
Tires are junk, but I always plan on replacing those. Suspension is absolutely getting some love. That rear shock is stupidly too soft.
@@CanyonChasersyep, that's where the KTM accountants saved some money!
Really nice info...but you missed the CB-1, one of Hondas best executed bikes of the time. It did everything well and still does (I'm on #7!). I have many track days on the ones I've owned, too. Have fun!
You are right. I miss my CB-1. I didn't keep mine nearly long enough. And it sure is a looker too.
This bike was released months after I got my Ninja 300. I would have loved to get one of these. The only time I second guessed my baby Ninja was looking at this KTM.
Well, there's the Duke 890 😉
I know how capable those bikes are, you should still have a shot for the Group C Championship!
It's going to be harder - I may challenge for B-Minus Group Champion!
Recently bought RC390, i'm having a blast
They are a gas to ride, yeah?
I got to ride a RC390 at Laguna Seca and it was a blast, although I was really hoping to see a Honda Hawk under those covers :). I will agree, the numbers don't lie power to weight ratios is a thing.
Oh, I once had a Hawk GT that invested an inappropriate amount of time and energy into. They still hold a very special place in my heart. www.canyonchasers.net/2013/02/the-amazing-honda-hawk-gt-nt650/
I love every single of your vids. Excellent quality content. Can't wait to see you ride the fuck outta that RC .
Nice 😺🤙🏻
Looking forward to it! I didn't know the KTM was the predecessor to the good small bikes we have now. I am a new rider so I'm grateful for that! I looked at a 390 Duke for a first bike but I went with the Ninja 400. I wanted something that'd be easy and cheap to maintain and it sounds like KTMs falter on that front a bit sadly.
Yep. Japanese bikes seem to thrive on neglect. I've spent a lot of time on Ninja 400s. You made a great choise and it was one of bikes I was seriously considering.
I bought a 2018 Ninja 400, my wife has a Duke 390 Both lots of fun.
The 400 and the R3 were the three bikes I was very closely considering.
I got almost 20k on my 18 RC390...I love this tiny dancer!
I love it! The mileage and the name - We may have to call ours the same thing!! 💃
I had exactly this bike '17 models are gen 2 and more reliable.
This is still the best looking bike in India ❤
Congrats on the bike, hope you get many safe and troubleless miles on it, even tho its a KTM and a gasket failure is pretty much innevitable on the RC.
Well, they say - the all knowing they - that 2017 has the new head design with a water-jacket bridge. But we'll see, right?
And for the rear
Brand. Part no
Vesrah. ZV-VD9068RJL or ZV-VD9068JL. for rear
DP. SDP622 for the. rear
EBC. EPFA 213 HH for the rear
the order i have put is based on its the devil's brakes to aggressive braking based on part nos and nothing to do with brand names position..
hope it helps😇
Ride safe ✌🏼👇🏼
Dud! I have had the opportunity of driving my buddy's 2016 RC390 on a track day. These are so much fun. At some point he was selling it and the one thing that kept me from buying it was all of the engine and valve adjustment issues it's known for. You think they had figured these out for the 2017 model? What's your plan to mitigate that? Looking forward to this series!
I'm not going to lie. I'm a bit worried about it too. Apparently they need a valve adjustment at 600 miles. This one never got that and most never do, which exacerbates the problem.
This should be cool
Have you seen the new one that is coming out this year? Its really nice. Have fun man
I did. It gets some pretty fantastic upgrades - especially the lighter wheels!!
@@CanyonChasers your telling me. I wanted the one you have then I seen the new one and now I want that one hahaI like the front end the most
I thought about this bike and the Ninja 400. On paper, both seem like really good choices, but I haven't ridden them (I ended up buying an SV650 and use it to commute to work). If you've ridden both, how do they compare?
I've ridden all three and owned an SV650 (the green bike in the middle of the video was mine). They are different animals, but all of them are pretty great. I think for communting, the SV650 was probably the best choice.
Hi CC, I wish the 2020 Honda cbr250rr get to your country... You might choose it.
Me too!
Does this mean we can start a UKOG group and combine with UDOG? Cause I want a KTM too! Looking forward to the mods Dave!
Did you see they changed the name? It's Ducati Club Official Utah now (or something)
Should've got a rc51, I predict that bike will go up in value
RC51s are awesome and I adore them, but not quite what we wanted for this series. 😎
@@CanyonChasers have you thought about making an episode on bikes that you think will become collectable in the future?
Congratulations, I was thinking the other day I wonder when you will be buying a new bike.
Yeah, it's been kiling me keeping this a secret!
@@CanyonChasers Lol 🤠
@@CanyonChasers I actually was expecting a newer bike replacing your track or tour bike. I spent some time today on KSL and cycle trader checking out the 390 RC.... My poor wife. Lol
Any reasons you chose the 2017? I've had a hard on for one of these for a while. Or should I wait and blow my wade on a 2022 if there ever released.
2017 was the mid-model refresh and supposedly has a bunch little fixes. I didn't want to wait for a 2022. Who knows when they'll actually show up. :)
So a 2017-2020 model would all be good to go?! Thanks for all the great content and taking the time to respond to the masses.
I still wanna find a hawk, how much giggle in them?
So much giggle in them. I adored mine; www.canyonchasers.net/2013/02/the-amazing-honda-hawk-gt-nt650/
Some say that the issue with the blown head gaskets are due to the bike running very lean from factory. The latest generation of the RC390 tried to resolved that by changing the radiator fan to a bigger one and adjusted the engagement point (temperature threshold) that the radiator fan activates. I think that is a BS solution so I will be happy if I can see you sling that lightweight on to a dyno and check the AFR and maybe show us the process of tuning the bike's ECU or just even the before and after just so we can really see of the KTMs suffer from very lean AFRs from factory. That is the only issue why I did not buy the Duke390 (the naked version of the RC). I have not seen anyone discuss this specific topic online nor have I seen anyone dyno-tuned any 390s at all. Since you will be building your new bike as a track bike, I hope you can understand that some focus on ECU and dyno-tuning are the "mods" I am expecting from your new series. More power to you and your team. If I was just in the neighborhood, I will volunteer to help, free, I might even ask my daughter to bake goodies for you every time we work on the bike. I live in Manila by the way, so, that's how it is. Enjoy your new toy.
My guy at KTM, whom I trust more than most, says it was mostly the fan switch/sensor combined with riders/racers not noticing the bike getting hot. So a lot of people put better sensors or manual fan switches.
However, the bike is known to run lean and we will most likely be doing a full exhaust, power-commander and full dyno tune. One of our sponsors, MotoStation, is one of the best Dyno-Tuning facilities in the western US. So, based on your comment alone, I'll share everything we discover.
@@CanyonChasers That will be amazing Dave. Thanks a lot.
I’m Thirsting for the 400cc inline 4 saki. Imagine with a supercharger it would be the perfect bike
Right!!?! One that spins up to 20,000 rpm or something. How fun would that be?!?
🤣🤣🤣 i only laugh because i know more than a few are liking the austrians lately! Hell even i replaced my speedy with a superduke 1290
Don't tell me your going to retire the old reliable Ducati. This better be a addition and not a replacement 👍
It's getting old. It's not going to last forever. I'm trying to figure out what would replace it. I can't afford the RC 8C and the RSV4 is just way more power than I need.
@@CanyonChasers I hear that. I just went through that last summer. My 05 gsxr 1000 had 58K on it. Still had good compression on all 4 cylinders. I was thinking. Should I maintain it for the long haul or get something newer while my old reliable is still worth something. I sold it and bought a 2018 gsxr 1000R. I have mixed feelings about doing it. I love this bike I have now. The money difference does not justify my reasons to sell and buy. I could have bought a brand new motor and still been way up on savings. Anyway its done and over with. Hopefully you come across a good deal when the time comes
Everyone always talk about buying used bikes... I always wonder, who are those guys who buy new ones and trash them before we buy them :))
It's neglect mostly. So many peopel buy bikes and treat them like Honda Accords. Motorcycles don't thrive on Neglect like a Toyota Camry does.
woooohhooooo
here is some thing could be of interest for you.
break pads
Brand Part no
EBC EPFA606HH. this is for front
Vesrah VD9068RJL or VD-9068JL this for front
above ones would help you with being 😇zen🤩 with the brakes 😇
The order i have put is based on its the devil's brakes to aggressive braking based on part nos and nothing to do with brand names position..
While it's a little more pricey than the rc390, the GPD is extremely high on the ZX25R.
I sure hope we get those here!!
@@CanyonChasers I don't think it'll come but i can ship you mine for a year or so for the right price 😂
Is that the bike Ari beat track records on?
Probably. Ari is fast AF.
Fun bike - congrats. I wish the jump-cut edits weren't there. I would have watched more with out 'em.
Thanks for the feedback - I was advised to put them in, but I'm not sure how I feel about them either.
@@CanyonChasers Maybe fewer?
Having consumed 34 GBs on watching tutorials on motorcycles, I decided to buy a three-wheel bicycle for my safety.
No judgement from me!
Are you concerned with the engine issues that Ari had?
Yes. But not terribly - my guy at KTM says they fixed those issues in 2017, the year of this bike. And Ari is worlds faster than I am. Worlds. That dude is quick AF.
You should just make a new how I deal with kids on my driveway video every week. You’d be filthy rich
You really need to get your audio sorted out bro ....
Whats going on? After the problem with the audio on the last video, I spent several hours making sure this was good. I tested on my phone, headphones, computer speakers and the surround sound on my TV.
Just show us the bike and tell us the price
You must be a lot of fun around Christmas. :)
@@CanyonChasers ha ha ha ha.
Talking so much about cool old bikes and then your new bike turning out to be a 2017 (and a ktm for that matter) is crazy disappointing. 😑 was hoping for some 80s or 90s thing. Aw well, im still looking forward to your used bike buying/fixing up videos! Those will apply for any bike.
What?!? KTMs are so cool!
@@CanyonChasers i don’t think ive ever heard a good KTM story that wasn’t immediately followed by a disastrous KTM story. That and ive never liked their look…though i do like orange bikes! 🤷♂️
Disappointing choice. Yawn
Hold off that judgement until you see what it looks like in six months. :)
This is going to be fun!
