WHERE DID THE TESTING OF THE RC 390 TAKE PLACE: ON OPEN ROADS OR RACE CIRCUITS? Germany, Spain, India, Sardinia and Tenerife THE RC AND DUKE CHASSIS ARE VERY SIMILAR. IS THE RC AN ADAPTION OF THE DUKE OR HAS IT BEEN A COMMON PLATFORM DESIGNED FOR BOTH MODELS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT? WHICH CHANGES DOES THE RC CHASSIS FEATURE AND WHAT ADVANTAGES DOES IT PROVIDE COMPARED TO THE DUKE? IS THE RC 390 FASTER THAN THE 390 DUKE? WHAT IS THE TOP SPEED OF THE RC 390? WHICH RIDER SIZES (HEIGHT AND WEIGHT) ARE THE RC ERGONOMICS AND SETTINGS OPTIMAL FOR? IN YOUR OPINION, WHICH ARE THE 3 MOST IMPORTANT TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES OF THE RC 390, COMPARED TO THE AVERAGE OF ITS SEGMENT? 10 11
