This bike is a definite monster of its own and all praises go less infront of this bike. Let me take you through few highlighted areas of the bike. This beast makes its intentions very clear the moment you saddle up on it. Like every KTM before it, the RC too is very purpose built. It proves to be a capable motorcycle in city traffic as well as the highways. The aggressive riding ergonomics aren’t there to ruin the fun but enhance it in a very different way. If the 390 Duke is a hammer then the RC 390 is a scalpel. The RC wont exuberate the sheer hooliganism of the Duke but would simply gear the rider for a lighting fast dash through traffic while giving the confidence to push the machine harder and get his knee closer to the tarmac on the twisties. With an engine tuned for linear power deliver, there is a slight increase in mileage as compared to the Duke 390, but hardly. While its still quite difficult to restrain your angst to wring the throttle, if successful there are changes of getting close to 33kmpl. While the others who cave in to the temptation of acceleration should expect drop in fuel economy by 6-9kmpl. For me its a master piece for racers. Get it fast.
