The RC 890 is one of the KTM motorcycles, which have a reputation for high performance and using the latest technology. But the reliability of these motorcycles is still being debated in the motorcycle community when compared to Japanese manufacturers like Honda, Yamaha, and Kawasaki. KTM's build quality and performance are some things that many riders swear by; others report more frequent maintenance issues. Reliability is the main question I seek to answer with this question, and it is addressed by asking people to share their real-world experiences and perceptions about the RC 890’s reliability, including long-term durability and frequency of repairs, versus its Japanese counterparts.
