My 10 yr old KTM died on me, and in the end it just wasn’t worth fixing

One of those expensive electronic boxes died.

To work out the cost of a replacement box, simply get a wad of $20 notes and stack them up until they are the same size as that box…
So I reluctantly brought a new Kawasaki, which was as near as I could get spec wise to the KTM, without buying another KTM.
I say reluctantly, because my wallet is infested with very rare moths, and we don’t want them to go extinct now do we…
I’m done with KTM RC390’s, as KTM are technically now bankrupt, parts are hard to get, and the local dealer wont stock new RC390’s anymore, as they keep coming back with issues….
This is rather regretable, as riding that KTM was like a fountain of youth in it’s own way to me. (I always felt like I was 30.ish)


Maybe KTM stands for “Kill The Motor.” I hope your Kawasaki works out better for you.

Thanks for the kind comments, I’ll do a review of the Kawasaki at a later date -they are very different bikes.
