AMA/MOTOAMERICA Entry Level Class, KTM Cup

Just saw on Chris Fillmore's Instagram and a post on Facebook that the KTM 390 will be the entry level spec bike for MOTOAMERICA and is for age groups 14-22.

I wonder how many racers will heading down to the Dominican Republic for new birth certificates?

 

Cool!

 

Soooo, looks like buy your own and race it. Not, show up and pick a key from a hat. I kinda prefer the buy your own. Then a racer could use it in club races to get further experience. Either way, I look forward to seeing it develop new talents.

 

That was literally my first thought!

 

Yay! If they prove to be reliable I can pick up a used one this time next year...

 

Cannot be a entry level rider at age 43? bull shit

 

The big questions is.....will WERA create a class for the RC390 so these kids will have a place to race them when they are not racing MotoAmerica?

 

Bummed I miss it by a year!

 

what does a stock 390 cost>?

 

Don't they fit in the 'D' bike classes?

 

$5499

 

This is exciting!

 

Twin Elf Racing with Dominican passports FTW! :up:

 

KTM said what the race ready one is going to go for in the US?

 

Not sure why they capped the top end.
Why not have a packed grid and let KTM sell lots of bikes?

 

cool, but it looks like i'm out LOL

 

Man, all I think back to was Little League World Series.

The next question is how many riders from South America will come play?

 

+1. Danny Almonte. For some reason that name is burned into my brain.
