Alex is a great addition to the TFL team. Cool vid. Good advice for everyone get to the track.
Good stuff! For a moment I thought this was going to be the Yamaha track ride. Track days are awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Looks FAST!!!!!!😮🙂😃 hope you had fun Alex!!😎
Nice!! Something that you can never experience on the street.
Would’ve loved pure engine sound instead of music….
The rc390 doesnt sound good enough for them to show just pure engine sound so stay happy with what they are showing dude 😂
Amazing video Alex! Till the next track day
Thanks homie
LLLLLRLLLLL, REPEAT! Looks like a blast at a special course.
I was able to go to a Legion Moto weekend at Heartland Park in Topeka, KS and had a tremendous time. I shaved several seconds off of my best lap times and their instructors were very involved in helping you improve throughout the entire weekend.
Sad to see the track go :(
Nice riding. Great to see the 390 doing so well holding its own in the twisties. I've been looking hard at the RC but I see so many posts about quality issues. I have done a butt load of searches but can't find if the issues have been corrected in the newer models. I am looking for a bike to track only and I really like this KTM. What do you know about the reliability of the newer bikes? Have they fixed the issues? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Seems like they still have cooling issues. Mine overheated bad the first day I tracked it. Swapped out the stock fan for the SPAL fan, along with different radiator cap. I go back and forth between Engine Ice and water with wetter depending on where I'm riding. A lot of guys seem to be sticking 2 fans in instead of one. So far so good after a year of track riding on my 390. I keep watching that head gasket like a hawk though.
Trackday I went to last year had a guy on one of these that was absolutely flying. Guy on a big GSX got a bit pissed that he got overtaken and ended up going over the bars trying to keep up with him! So 100% in the right pair of hands these things are a weapon around a track.
Two 👍🏽from a fellow RC390 rider
the answer is YES. great bike to advance your skills, learn how to corner fast etc. I loved passing bigger bikes on the outside of corners on my old rc390.
same here..haha
mt03 also can
Light weights will absolutely teach you volumes about corner speed!
(Anyone can go fast on the straights)
What about vibes at freeway speeds?
Track Day!!!
Nice. I'm looking forward to doing my first track day this year or next spring. Good to know they have suspension folks out there to help with bike setups as well.
Sweet! Always lots to learn at the track. I thought I wouldn't enjoy track riding, my buddy dragged me there against my will a while back and now I'm HOOKED!
@@AlexLightmane4i Nice. I was curious about it some years ago when I bought a 600cc and wanted learn how to ride it better but never deeply looked into the process to get on the track from leathers to track prep, etc. Now that I'm a little older and have a better understanding of things, I can carry out that process better to get there. Again, thanks for the content on your day off
Would like to see more track days
Yamaha R7 track day coming next week
I was getting blown past on my rc390, full tuck WOT. Pass me on the straights and brake early in front of me for the turns. I couldn't keep up with anyone.
fuel consumption on track ?
You don't have to wire the oil plugs?
Some auto races require a battery disconnect button easily accessible from the exterior.
No safety wire needed at Legion Moto!
Did they explain why you had to tape up the lights? Or is it just in case you put the bike down.
Just to keep the glass if you throw it away.
$250 ... what a deal straight up just for the knowledge gained let a lone the FUN with friends new and old.
One of the best parts of the track: meeting new people
Can't wait for the 490
A 490?!
@@mobileDubby RC490, Duke490, 490 Enduro/SMC, etc.
Pray to Rossi it drops this year.
@@dsgr6164 I understood what you meant. Lol I just hope they make it
@@dsgr6164 no 490 just a vastly changed 390, lighter and improved suspension etc
@@gregorybigg8924 it's going to be a twin cylinder
you should of had the BMW G310R too i have that bike i love it
these small bikes should have electric motors, esp if theyre only going to be used at a track
NO.
@@cranky1812 you dont have to caps lock NO:(
@@irfanshafri9574 why not? His idea is absolutely useless
Yes a small bike can be faster
