It followed me home.
From its markings it appears to be a 2022 ktm rc390. 900 miles on the clock.
This bike handles ***sharp***. The little single cylinder just purs away all the way up to the rev limiter. At under 400ccs i think it might be faster than my cb1100 according to butt dyno. Will anybody still wanna play with me if i show up in bluefield on this?

Wow, congrats MrP! That looks like a bike that would be quite at home on the mountain roads of WNC!

Congrats. My Nevada nephew's son had one of those. Quite the backroads rapier.

No. Definitely not. If i took a passenger on this bike the two of us would weigh more than the bike.

Great little bikes. Well done MrP. A woman I know — who is, shall we say, vertically challenged — has ridden one over large chunks of Australia. It has served her well and I've certainly struggled to keep up with her on the CB. That's only partly explained by the gap in our riding abilities.
