A friend of mine was offered the chance to put some km on a KTM390RC prior to the bike being used at a media day and photo shoot. 
Who'd knock that back?
So I was asked to plan a 250 km route off the highway and would I like to come along?
Shit yes I'm owed a day off and today was chosen. 
I didn't get to ride the angry animal but there's a Superduke being prepped for the same event that may have my name on it Smile Wink 

The little 390 was a rocket all things considered And we didn't need the tool kit once Laughing
They're tiny and skinny and would probably make a good suburban commuter.  I'm not a fan of singles for extended highway use but I guess that's not what they're designed for. 

It looks well built and we'll finished. We had some fun.
