I heard of the RC390's blowing their head gasket at the race track due to poor machining of the head surface. Haven't heard of too many other issues. Wait, I recall discussion of overheating.

There's the handling difficulties. The rears tend to be hard to keep the rubber on the road at serious lean angles. Probably because of the straight linked rear shock. The R3 has the same issue. The Ninja 250 and 300 has a proper 3 point pivot plate.
