Hi everyone, glad to be here.
2 weeks ago I bought a 2016 RC 390 street version. Took it to the track yesterday and had so much fun with us (even though I crashed, probably because of that front suspension not rebounding quickly enough for very fast chicanes, but that's besides the point )
Anyway - so today I bought a RC 390 Cup bike which I will pick up in a few days but they only had 2015 but was assured it is identical to the 2016.
I believe the dealer, but that being said, it seems like the rumors of 15 vs 16 that KTM is all over the place with factory in India, and special spec for Europe etc... very confusing.
For the street version it seems like my 2016 street version should have a side mounted exhaust, throttle by wire, and slipper clutch.
It has exhaust on the right under the belly, slipper clutch i'm not sure, and throttle by wire i'm not sure either. So for the street version, in the USA - do I get throttle by wire and slipper clutch?
But to the real question - ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CUP 15 VS 16 THAT YOU KNOW OF?
Anyway - you guys all have amazing bikes - those 390s are a gift from god. After this, I don't know if I will be able to ever track my R6 again - the 390 is just too much fun on the track, (street too).
Thanks in advance for any replies.
