Ari's KTM RC390 Racebike Walkaround 

I was thinking the same! I don't see a lav... boom mic?

I'd love to know how your videographer did it!

Fuckin' honda's amirite? XD. Just kidding.

Exactly what I was thinking, clear audio without even a hint of wind.

But how?

46

Lorenzo really seemed to scoot with Rockstar™, and Vale found a few extra tenths with a donkey or chicken sticker 🤷‍♂️

Lol

Red bull gives you wings and your bike 6 hp more.🙏

@@shahidahmad8948 like in VR46 ?

you should hate your own skill or bike, not the other guy that was faster than you

You got me :) .

Then you have to say it in a sarcastic voice, now I look stupid

dry sarcasm for the win.

Freeman haha I hate when that happens!

The most important comment :D

Learn freedom units you ingrates

@leo is in the house no dentist having ass

Yup-yup,agreed totally^^^ :)

I never understood the whole "slow bike fast than a fast bike slow" statement. I would rather have a fast bike that I know has a ton of performance whenever needed, or I wanted to use it, than a slow turd that is getting ragged out. Is it really that much fun knowing your bike cant go any faster?

@@ChrisPBacon-nf3op Hey, I have owned both big bikes and small bikes. I assume your mostly thinking street bike riding, because in racing you really don't leave any performance for 'whenever', you do that, you lose.The thing with a big bike, most of the time, riders depend SO much on the horsepower to get their jollies, which means twisting the grip on the straights. On the street doing 'roll-ons' with your buddies and blasting down the freeway doing triple digits and on the track, again making up time on the straights. For myself I dropped down to a smaller bike mostly for economic reasons, smaller bikes are less expense all round and as track bike, you can actually save hundreds $ per weekend. What I found is that within three track days, on my very basic, unassuming, low tech, 42 hp GS 500 I was doing lap times equal to my GSXR 750 with 120 + hp. The reason for me was that the 750 had a very touchy fuel injected throttle that frankly was kind of scary to roll on as I would exit a corner. I was still learning to go fast and everyone has different thresholds of what fast is. Anyway, as we know corner exits are prime 'high-side' territory and high-sides bust up bikes and bodies, which in turn makes for very expensive and time consuming repairs. So when going to the smaller bike it was easier to ride in every way. The throttle was less intimidating, it was light and flickable it felt like a toy rather than a beast. So with the smaller bike I really wasn't going to 'make up time' on the straights, so corner speed was of maximum concern, which meant very skilled line choice, braking, corner speed, passing techniques and throttle exit application, just can't scrub any more speed than was necessary. So I became a much better rider, faster on the small bike, lap times dropped every race or track day weekend. One thing that struck me was that here was a bike that I had around $ 1K invested into and I was having and absolute blast on, totally didn't need a $10K+ superbike. By years end I was beating guys on 56 hp EX500's and 65 hp SV650's. So me beating 'faster bikes' is totally relative, it really just comes down to experience and skill nothing really to brag about, I just had more seat time than they did, but it proved a point, that 'the bike' doesn't always matter. And there is a satisfaction in beating faster more expensive bikes. Grant it if I was going to buy a street bike I would choose the bigger bike, there's just not that many places to drag a knee on the street safely and horsepower and wheelie rushes are intoxicating, but for the track totally unnecessary, which is what this video was about, ,heck the guy ended up setting a track record, I think he made a good choice.. But it also can translate to street riding because many street riders don't learn top notch cornering skills. Just look at how many video's there are of people running off the road, many of them are do to lack of skills, it's really easy to go ballistic by twisting the throttle and learn the 'other' skills, Anyway, imho. Peace and keep the rubber side down.

@@raynic1173 so well said. so well

100% with ya on that!!

xlegenx47 i wish i had the money for it. ;) but i am pretty happy with my used SV650 ^^

Ari Henning Please, I put a Penske sticker on my SV1000 and had to ride it on one wheel for miles.

grownsimbaa it's only a boring single cylinder 4 stroke go and start you're lawn mower up and it will sound similar

Just watch the track race video- link in description.

rahulk1203 Yeah I watched it, great video but I was after a start up without the wind noise etc.

grownsimbaa the noice it makes really isn't worth worrying about, it's a single cylinder 4stroke, get over it

Will u do realize 4 banger means 4 cylinder not 4 stroke

They did it because they think that 1000cc supersports doesnt have anything to do on public roads... Theeeen they release the superduke

CEO has his head lodged firmly up his own ass.

The Mavi I know they say they will focus on motogp and a bike powerful bike should not be in the streets, probably they were not doing so well in sales

The SuperDuke 1290 is just as dangerous in the wrong hands on public roads, perhaps even more so as the power comes on much earlier.

The came back from that anyways. There should be a new model like the RC8R in the future.

@@danielcombs5286 the key is high way. When you are dragging elbows 42 HP is a lot.

My stock RC makes 43.5, but maybe it will make less on the Dyno. But we've got tricked out RC's churning 50 hp and 200kmps on the Dyno.

Ib, I think it might be time to sell the Kawi H2, & get the RC390, They are Fast on a Gocart Track!👍😉

This fucking guy everywhere

Bro 42 hp on wheel not on crank

Dejas Monroe here's my suggestion, don't, wait a bit more for Honda's entry level, the cbr 250rr beat the shit out of the entry level market.
