KTM, currently basking in the positive afterglow of the 1290 Super Duke R world launch, is set to unveil a brace of faired sub-500cc single-cylinder bikes -- the RC125, RC250 and RC390 – at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan next week.
The trio is based on the three Duke nakedbikes, and earlier this year we got a glimpse of what the RC390 was going to look like when KTM unveiled a race version of the bike. And now we have an image of the production bike, courtesy of a leak on the KTM Canada website, which has jumped the EICMA gun.
KTM claims 43hp (32kW) for the RC390 (pictured), and it has the company’s ubiquitous and exposed powder-coated steel trellis frame. There’s a 1340mm wheelbase, it has WP suspension, and weight without fuel is 147kg.
Meanwhile, the RC125 and RC250 will undoubtedly share similar technical specs to the Dukes, but well know all next week.
