  • Blinkers- LED 

Dimensions and weight
Wheelbase- 1355mm
Ground clearance- 158mm 
Seat Height- 824mm 
Weight- 172kg 

Seat height is slightly on the higher side, it might be a struggle for short riders. 

Looks 
It have an astounding style which is carried by it flawlessly. Sharp looking lines and curves drawing a perfect picture of a sports bike. 

Face
One thing that I personally don't like about KTMs is their headlight design, and same feeling I'm getting about this KTM too, although I appreciate their uniqueness. 
It get visor which kinda provide service to headlight house as well. Visor is fixed its not adjustable and to take benefit of visor you have to dug down, its not a adventure machine keep that thing in mind. Blinkers are slick in design and are sufficiently bright. 110 section tyre is moving with its personality. 

Side scene
The coolness of KTM is one of the reason to grap public and with upgrade version of that coolness RC 390 is rocking the scenario right now. 

The graphics are looking spot one, giving mind blowing appearance to the machine. Fairing is attached to the headlight housing which gives it a bulky and huge look. Fuel tank is big with some sporty lines on it. Engine is exposed that enhances the picture of KTM RC 390. You can spot the quickshifter too. 

The seat height is pretty high for short riders, pillion seats seems cramped and it is, no proper grab rails pillion get space to hold on beneath the seat but that is so weird. Ground clearance is not bad. 

Tail
Sharp tail with full LED tail light whose design is simply amazing, the slick blinkers also helps in maintaining the sportiness of this motorcycle. 150 section type is giving it great grip and looks as well. It got tyre hugger which spoils the looks but show its importance in rainy season, when you got unwanted design on your clothes. 

Instrument cluster 
One thing I love the most about KTMs is their colourfull instrument cluster which shows you plenty of information. This one also features that, which shows you turn by turn navigation, speed tachometer, odometer, tripmeters, time, gear, fuel, and plenty of other things. You can explore this cluster by the navigation buttons given on the left side of the handle bar. 


At last......
Seriously speaking, I'm not a big fan of KTM but this new RC 390 is an attractive machine. KTM are known for their speedy style and the power figures are sick. Look wise, electronic wise this bike is amazing but the only thing is that it is quite expensive.
