But how?
when you're racing, the smaller the bike, the more analytical your decisions have to be to get out every morsel of the bikes power!! 100% agree that it's more satisfying to completely apply a slower bikes power than it is to leave any portion of a larger bikes power unexplored
which stickers do you recommend for the most hp?

What an awesome bit of kit! I can really tell a lot of cash, time, sweat and tears have gone into this bike. I would love to see more on this bike!
I hate these bikes, on Wednesday, one of these overtook me on my twin on the last lap and I couldn´t beat him back before the finish line, I have been hating them ever since!! PS: Nice video :) .

I never understood the whole "slow bike fast than a fast bike slow" statement. I would rather have a fast bike that I know has a ton of performance whenever needed, or I wanted to use it, than a slow turd that is getting ragged out. Is it really that much fun knowing your bike cant go any faster?

@@ChrisPBacon-nf3op Hey, I have owned both big bikes and small bikes. I assume your mostly thinking street bike riding, because in racing you really don't leave any performance for 'whenever', you do that, you lose.The thing with a big bike, most of the time, riders depend SO much on the horsepower to get their jollies, which means twisting the grip on the straights. On the street doing 'roll-ons' with your buddies and blasting down the freeway doing triple digits and on the track, again making up time on the straights. For myself I dropped down to a smaller bike mostly for economic reasons, smaller bikes are less expense all round and as track bike, you can actually save hundreds $ per weekend. What I found is that within three track days, on my very basic, unassuming, low tech, 42 hp GS 500 I was doing lap times equal to my GSXR 750 with 120 + hp. The reason for me was that the 750 had a very touchy fuel injected throttle that frankly was kind of scary to roll on as I would exit a corner. I was still learning to go fast and everyone has different thresholds of what fast is. Anyway, as we know corner exits are prime 'high-side' territory and high-sides bust up bikes and bodies, which in turn makes for very expensive and time consuming repairs. So when going to the smaller bike it was easier to ride in every way. The throttle was less intimidating, it was light and flickable it felt like a toy rather than a beast. So with the smaller bike I really wasn't going to 'make up time' on the straights, so corner speed was of maximum concern, which meant very skilled line choice, braking, corner speed, passing techniques and throttle exit application, just can't scrub any more speed than was necessary. So I became a much better rider, faster on the small bike, lap times dropped every race or track day weekend. One thing that struck me was that here was a bike that I had around $ 1K invested into and I was having and absolute blast on, totally didn't need a $10K+ superbike. By years end I was beating guys on 56 hp EX500's and 65 hp SV650's. So me beating 'faster bikes' is totally relative, it really just comes down to experience and skill nothing really to brag about, I just had more seat time than they did, but it proved a point, that 'the bike' doesn't always matter. And there is a satisfaction in beating faster more expensive bikes. Grant it if I was going to buy a street bike I would choose the bigger bike, there's just not that many places to drag a knee on the street safely and horsepower and wheelie rushes are intoxicating, but for the track totally unnecessary, which is what this video was about, ,heck the guy ended up setting a track record, I think he made a good choice.. But it also can translate to street riding because many street riders don't learn top notch cornering skills. Just look at how many video's there are of people running off the road, many of them are do to lack of skills, it's really easy to go ballistic by twisting the throttle and learn the 'other' skills, Anyway, imho. Peace and keep the rubber side down.

Nice motorcycle, a lot of love in that machine, good work! I personally love it, colour scheme and decals all look really well placed and clean. Keep up the amazing work and stay safe out there!
Dude this is such a nice bike, you've done such a great job with it. I want one now.
Excellent walkaround and nice & concise given all the mods done. Super edit as well 👌. Shame it's had so many issues but love how it's been so well done mod wise.
Glad to see you stayed the course! these are super fun little bikes. I haven't had an issue with my RC390 (maybe i should race it more).
Yes! Thanks for putting up this vid, Ari. Bike looks sick with all the added on goodies. I agree it would look awesome with the side fairings removed. Greetings from Malaysia!
Must. Not. Be. Jealous. Great video guys. Ari is one rider I've always looked up to. Feels epic to know one of his bikes is what I have!

Great video, really enjoyed, it thanks man!
I would love to see more videos like this as well as more videos about the track world. I would love to pick up a 300cc class bike and try to compete, but getting into the sport seems so daunting. With all of these lightweight bikes coming out and the creation of the ssp300class. I would love to see more little lightweight racing videos.
I wanted to hear it 😓

huge fan of your vids..I have an r3 and have a blast on it...might get a zx6 soon but never regretted my purchase
Thanks for the walk around!
dope setup👍 have fun thanks for sharing.
Great video! Very interesting. I agree with you on the riding a slow bike fast thing
awesome vid, now onboard laps!
The video Ive been waiting for, thanks for info ari. The bike looks neat😍
Andreani make some fantastic cartridge kits at a good price, nice to see them getting some more air time as they are somewhat unheard of :-)
Very nice mate. Makes me keen to try out one on the street.
💝this set-up, you thr man!
beautiful bike bro! 😀
Great mods!
Awesome little bike..
Hey Ari! Nice walk around video, nice explanations on all the work done! Amazing stuff. Have you considered hybrid ceramic bearings? Judging by the advertised qualities, they really should be great for a small displacement/horsepower bikes. Could you please do a video on that?
Cool bike, still not understanding why KTM discontinued the RC8R instead of putting some new tech on that bike, still best looking bike for me

Hey buddy... i have been your subscriber for quite a while now... can u do video to explain how different riding modes work n what is actually technically going on in the bike when we switch riding modes....cheers
craze video man, much love from india.
Nice mods!
"I´d rather be fast in a slow bike than slow in a fast bike."
Good stuff!
Nice video! Great cheap racing option.
Hilarious. Identical build to mine here in little old NZ. Right down to the Bridgestones because Pirelli are awesome but too expensive. Keep up the good work.
Looks great
Hi, big fan..lots of love from India! U guys are amazingly talented and its a treat to watch your videos. I m a budding motorcyclist and would someday like to meet up with u guys n have a chat or maybe get to pose on any of ur bikes. Take care...ride safe!
dude ur bike rocks!
Beautiful bike
ari man... we more of your racing videos .. we love you brooo..
Awesome bike
you've managed to get that bike lighter than it was! nice!!!
+Ari Henning Sweet cornering at sonoma!
Man, what a dream bike!
I have a quick shifter on my 2020 street triple r and yeah they totally do spoil you. But theres nothing like that up interrupted acceleration, it just feels and sounds so good. I love the triple motor sounds so.
Good explanation
The trumpet style pipes. No kidding when they said "trumpet" lol
Ari hope you put up a video on your project R3 when it completes.
Great looking bike Ari! R3 next?
Awesome!
i in lovee with KTM single piston 🔥🔥🔥power so good ! from Malaysia
its a full moded bike love them all :)
Custom sick shit! xD That's quite some mods man! :D
So... When is the R3 race bike walk-around coming? 🤔 I'll be picking one of those or a Ninja 300 in the next year as my dedicated track bike.

whats the top speed and bhp figure for this monster!
This bike is awesome
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the video. Will we be seeing anything more on the Z125 you were upgrading?
would love to see a lap on this 390
Omg i want one so bad my absolute dream bike!
Nice. ;D Some more mods to add to the list for my duke ;P
God i need to see more about it
Great mods, cool bike. Imagine if KTM built a 390 V twin! Zach likes to ride fast bikes fast while talking and giggling...
I'm going to feel silly writing this and posting it, but thank you for the video! I'm a HUGE fan girl of the RC390 and can't wait to actually get one. I appreciate watching what you can do on that thing. Side note, I've been hearing about KTM making a consumer version of the RC16, any chance you guys would be covering that?
Hey ari, would love to know all about exhaust wrap, good/bad what's your recommendations thank you, keep up the good work
How do you not lose screws and other parts?
It's very nice to see this walkaround video with a lots info. How about the Yoyodyne slipper clutch? It's working well?
Does anybody know what tire sizes he's running on front and rear? I'm curious to test out his set up on the track and canyons
How'd you record the sound so well with all that wind? :D Thanks for the video.
Love it
Awesome video Ari, I am modifying my Ninja 300 track bike, hope can be at the same level of yours~
Hey, could you please tell me on what sprocket setup ua running on?Great vid btw, appreciate it.
I love that you say 'trick' a lot. Reminds me of when I first got into watching Jerry Miculek's gun videos. Want to sponsor my '99 CBR that I MotoVlog with?!?
You are in Marrakesh city . It is so windy today.
yeah i want to see zack riding grom racing with you on this :D
That is a nice video and the way to customized your RC390 is just sick. But i want to point out one thing that the stock RC390 produced 43hp-44hp out of the factory, you can also get a little more out of your bike there.

I really liked hearing him say, that he prefers to ride a slow bike fast over riding a fast bike slow. That's my philosophy as well.
That was Delicious...Felt like having a tasty wholesome meal...Really wish if i could hav a lap on your machine!!
Love your RC! I got the 390 Duke and put an K&N Airfilter on it do i have to do a Mapping ?
Good Video, never rode a 390 but figured it need suspension and brake work, nice to see the details on it actually being done!Look like a blast to ride.... Can You give us an idea on the approximate cost to get it to this level? Thanks again, I watch all your videos Bro...
I have one, similar mods..... Loooooove it!!!!!
The one disliked is KTM because you did better than what they could do!
Pls have a walk around review and what is the best modification of rc200. Thanks...
Hey can you tell where did you install the probe of the Temperature sensor of Trail Tech?
Shout out to Trex Racing for sure good stuff!
Can you show the video of fixing motion pro throttle
I think you should mod your exhaust to lower the heat temperature. Simply, by placing the exhaust pipe below the engine instead of factory around the cylinder dead set up.
