QUICKSPIN I 2022 K TM RC 390

T
here are few finer things I enjoy than
getting a small displacement sport bike,
a medium-speed racetrack, and no t
ime I need to be back in the pits.
Bikes that race in the MotoAmerica Junior
Cup, such as this brand new KTM RC 390,
teach even the most experienced and jaded
moto journo a few new tricks each time the
key is turned. Light, svelte, damn good look-
ing, how could you not love an RC? The good
news is that the only single-cylinder bike in
the Junior Cup field (and 2021 champion in
the hands of Tyler Scott against a horde of
Kawasaki Ninja 400s) has been thoroughly
revamped for 2022 and the result is even
better than even my jaded old expectations.
