KTM Street Bikes

I was checking out the KTM street bikes and surprised I hadn't noticed these before.

KTM 390 Series
The KTM RC 390 hit the US market in 2014, with the Duke 390 coming in 2015. Although positioned to take on its well-known Japanese peers, this Austrian/Indian contender punches above its weight, or lack thereof. The RC 390 weighed in at 324 pounds, with the Duke 390 hitting a mere 306 pounds. Factory numbers are famously optimistic, but either one makes a fantastic intro to the principles of power-to-weight ratios.

Both models got a DOHC single-cylinder liquid-cooled 373cc powerplant that put out 44 hp or so. ABS is standard for both, regardless of year. KTM offers a thick catalog of track-ready add-ons and fun bits. And of course, you'll already have one of the better trackday weapons around, in terms of handling, composure, and flickability. For a novice rider with trackday aspirations and a modest budget, the 390 means you're halfway there before you hit the starter.

Anybody riding the KTM 390 street bike? I literally never saw one on the road

No experience with KTM street machines, as a matter of fact I'm not sure I've even seen one on the road

Their bikes look interesting anyway

KTM is a very well-known Austrian motorcycle manufacturer, and they are not going out of business. KTM has been recognized all over the world for its off-road motorcycles, sports bikes, and now, their launching of electric street bikes.

When I think of KTM, I think of the 420 dirt bike but I looked at the street bikes at a dealer and they look awesome.
