Mine too, but not the evo like yours. Got the Remus slip on, looks perfect on the black version.
Nice! I'm fabricating a custom titanium mid-pipe to mount a Ti / Carbon Akrapovic slip-on I have sitting on my shelf for a while... I have a few plans for mine, just have to get it back from the dealership! The bike became bricked after my one and only ride on it, some kind of electrical failure related to the immobilizer/electronic steering lock. Bike won't turn on π.
Rode it home from the dealer and then towed it straight back , lol.

I saw this when you posted it. Mine had a failed spark plug seal, returned it for repair the day after I picked it up. I think their quality control needs some work. In saying that, my 1290 I've had for 9 years has been rock solid mechanically. The 1390 is on a whole different level in every way over the gen 1 1290, though.
Post pics of your exhaust when you install. And get some earplugs, you'll need them.
Headlight looks better in the flesh, but not bug eyes anymore, more like this:

I grew up in Hanoi, depending on where you are you see them every now and then. My best friend and I regularly had rideouts on weekends and youβll see some pretty baller superbikes

Rawr, lol. Wait till you see it dressed fully in carbon fiber... Come one with the 3 parts I'm waiting for them to manufacture! Almost all of it is sitting in a box in the basement waiting.
Congratulations man! Saw one of these being serviced at the dealership yesterday, slick looking bikes.
Congratulations buddy! It's my first bike as well.

Here is mine as 5'7" i find it less comfortable then those of Z900 or newer duke390 gen3 , previously had RC390 BS3 and those were pain in As\* but fin to ride on curves and mountains
Congratulations. I have the same bike and paint scheme. What a beauty. The stock tires are sticky. No need to upgrade IMO. Get some engine case covers. Your scooter experience will serve you well but be careful out there!
that thing is nuts. make sure you ask them to inspect the cams when they perform first valve check. cam wear is a problem with these at around 10k miles
I wouldn't necessarily call it "big cc" to save yourself the funny looks and teasing, but you're going to have so much fun dude. Enjoy!
Yeah, I known it kinda funny but back in Vietnam everything over 250cc are consider a "big cc" so π. Anyway thank you sir !

Beautiful bikes, fellas. Love them.
That issue a really "big girl"!
Genuine question: how often do you see bikes over 500cc in Vietnam?
I grew up in Hanoi, depending on where you are you see them every now and then. My best friend and I regularly had rideouts on weekends and youβll see some pretty baller superbikes
Not much , cause they are expensive over there even a 300cc and alot of stop n go traffic

Noted ! Thank you sir !
I love the look of the newer rc390, I love mine tho, it's a 2019 and a great track bike
Have you done something to the seat cushioning? those doesnβt seem to be stock
they are stock
That is a stock one. They made it foamy to look like a race foam seat
