Is the KTM 390 SMC R actually good for beginners to learn stunts and supermoto techniques?
Supermoto design of the KTM 390 SMC R simply means more playful and technical riding. As a result, there has been talk about it being a good platform for riders to learn stunts, practice backing it in or hone other supermoto specific skill sets. Others say it's just light enough and powered by a manageable amount of power to build confidence with these techniques. Some fear that its performance capabilities are too much for true beginners to handle safely as they learn advanced moves. Often this debate focuses on the necessity of proper training, expensive crash damage and whether a cheaper used supermoto is a better idea than spending the money on a KTM. The durability of the bike for repeated practice sessions is also discussed, as well as how easy aftermarket protection parts might be to find.
It's perfect for learning! On the one hand, light enough to be maneuvered easily, but with enough power to pull off proper stunts. Just invest in some crash protection first.
