Buying an RC390. Should I wait for the 2016 model?

[A1VW2NV]

+320mm rotor
And looks like Metzeler M5's

Also Fly by wire throttle assembly. Possibly slipper clutch. I'm hoping they would've replaced the horrible radiator fan also.
I'd definitely wait for the 16' unless you can find a 15' at ridiculously cheaper price.

Interesting. May make a liar of me on the slipper clutch, too.

The KTM official website has just been updated to show 2016 models. The Duke is listed as fitted with a "PASC anti-hopping clutch"; The RC, however, still shows the usual "wet multi disc, mechanically-operated clutch", as well as the standard 300mm front brake rotor. No mention of ride-by-wire for either model.

On the other hand, this article (with photos) from the Indian auto/moto press details a number of updates to the RC.
