RC390 review
Miss two-stroke 250s? Try one of these
YOU can get a pilot's licence at 17 but to do a single motorcycle test for a full, unrestricted bike licence, you must be 24.
Any younger and as a new rider you'll have to spend time restricted to 48hp (35kw) with an A2 licence.
That makes A2 motorcycles one of the most important classes there is - and KTM's new RC 390 has instantly become one of the most important machines in the class.
In a market that will demand excitement, the RC 390 delivers it possibly more than anything else currently available.
At 43.5hp, it doesn't make the maximum power allowed under A2 rules. However, because it's light, it does make bang on the optimum power-to-weight ratio allowed, at 0.2kw/kg.
