    RC390 California Updates?

    Haha, they just called me too. Santa BarbaraMotorsports still has theirs. They emailed me this morning. Has the demand tapered off that fast? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RC390 California Updates?

    Damn! I just threw up in my mouth a little. That is steep, but doesn't surprise me. BH Ducati has always been pricey. Santa BarbaraMotorsports has them. Salesman's name is Lionel. Probably get it for under $7k Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RC390 California Updates?

    Treach, totally agree. However, the fact that we couldn't get them gave me time to think about it. I think I was hung up on the RC390 because it's the new shiny thing. When I actually checked it out (the second time), I wasn't as in love with it as I thought I was. Currently riding a...

    RC390 California Updates?

    KTM dealer in Bakersfield called me a few days ago and said they'd be have them on the showroom floor yesterday (Friday) or early next week. I got tired of waiting and picked up a well-built 2008 848 instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Got to demo the RC390 yesterday

    Thanks for your great feedback. While I didn't get the opportunity to ride it, I swung a leg over it last week (twice) and came up with similar conclusions: the turn signals were oddly placed (though, I thank KTM for not punching a hole in the bodywork to fit them), the controls felt loose and...

    RC390 California Updates?

    I'm excited for you guys. I couldn't wait for this thing to come out, but after checking it out in Colorado and thinking hard about it, the excitement waned and I changed my mind. I am instead pursuing a Ducati 848 with all the goodies. I know the RC would be a fun bike; however, I currently...

    RC390 California Updates?

    Just called Sunnyvale. That Duke390 is a production model that isn't for sale, only display. Still no word on the arrival of the RC. Salesman said to check back in a week or two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tires for track use

    So, does the 160 fit, or not? I'm running Bridgestone BT-003's on my DRZ (100% track) and they perform great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    TZMike, that is interesting. Thanks for sharing. Hmmm, maybe one of us should call around and ask and report the findings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RC390 California Updates?

    Forgot to mention, I'm 5'6", 180lbs and the bike's fit and feel reminded me of my first bike, a '99 R6. I expected it to feel like a Ninja 250, which are really small and cramped (one thing I was worried about), but it really felt like a larger sport bike . Again, I think this bike is gonna be...

    Colorado Springs $6,349 + Fees

    Dropped by Colorado Springs, CO ApexSports today (here on business) and couldn't believe what I saw. $6400???!!! These fools are crazy charging that much. At least I got to see it in person though and prop a leg over the seat.

    RC390 California Updates?

    Matt, Don't hate on me. Anyways, I am in Colorado Springs on business this week and dropped by the local KTM shop. They have one RC390 in stock. I wanted to actually see it in person and sit on it, so I did. My first impressions: Fit is perfect; this will be fun on the track. Controls feel...

    Locked a Hell of a Deal - Hopefully No Surprises

    Matt, maybe we could get a two-fer deal. I'll buy one too, and maybe we could get a better price together. I'm 100% in. As long as you are talking the LA area, I'm down to buy one. If its San Diego SoCal, forget it. PM me and let me know where you're purchasing it, if you don't' mind.

    Southern California- Here's my knowledge so far regarding arrival date and pricing

    Matt, thanks for letting me know your OTD. That should give me a good baseline to work with. Crossing my fingers. If I get any updates, I'll surely post them here.
