How does the RC 390 GP cope with long highway rides?
by geeta kumariover 1 year ago0 views8 comments
The KTM RC 390 GP is sporty with a track-oriented design but also used by many for trips and long commutes on the highway. It is unclear, therefore, how comfortable and performance worthy it is for longer periods on the open road. What effect does the fatiguing riding position have on fatigue over time? Is the single-cylinder engine straining at sustained high speed? And we'll look at the real experiences of other riders who’ve ridden their RC 390 GPs on longer journeys and see what they’d change about the bike for more comfortable long-distance riding and how the fuel efficiency at highway speeds compares to the KTM. This is important information for anyone who wants a sporty bike but may need to do the occasional touring.

The real killer for long trips is the lack of luggage options. You’re restricted to a backpack or little tail bag.

With a few adjustments to ergonomics, this can be a decent tourer. Don't expect Gold Wing comfort, though.

For short blasts I love it, but anything over 100 miles and I wish I had a more upright bike.

It's doable, but not ideal. After a couple of hours, the vibrations start to get to you.

A taller windscreen made a world of difference for highway comfort, so I installed one of those.

It’s not bad to lean on a tank bag. It's happy at 80 mph all day long.

After an hour, my wrists are killed by the riding position. It's just not long-haul material.

Surprisingly comfortable! I felt fine but needed frequent fuel stops, so I did a 300-mile trip.
