You could just be signing up for right of first refusal. It shows them you are serious, but if you don't like the price, you should be able to get your deposit back and walk away. No idea what is actually written in the contracts they signed though.

Yeah, right. They just sell so many more units, so you don't hear about the two guys whose motor blew up .... Game of percentages.
The problem is you can't fix the components, they can only be replaced.
Does he also line up for iPhones?
There's no fancy electronics in those bikes .... Unless you call EFI fancy electronics. People claiming here they know anything about real reliability of these bikes is just myth, full of Googling not based any verifiable evidence.
If you want to call a bike with fancy electronics and often more complicated than need be try Aprilia, Ducati .... Fancy, but a lot can go wrong there.
No question they are good, but don't try to tell anyone that the Japanese have not had their share of problems, whether it would be frames, voltage regulators, engines burning oil etc. It happens to everyone, some are more prone than others ...
Electronic throttle Sounds fancy to me...

That's a BMW not a Rc390

But some are consistently prone because the culture of engineering does not regard long term reliability as any concern.
I.e. BMW cars don't need to last beyond 3-5 years when most are leased.
You do hear of Japanese bike problems but when you consider the much greater number of them out there, and how badly they are abused, you realize how well they are built next to premium brands whose owners tend not to abuse.
nothing has gone wrong with his yet but I cringe at the thought of troubleshooting it
Depends what his deposit conditions were but BBB says deposit doesn't have to be returned if buyer backs out. (I believe)
Who puts deposit down on a bike with no price? Also, these things will be mass produced at numbers KTM has never made before, they will be everywhere by next summer, already on Kijiji by the fall.
we were talking about bmw..

5000 GBP, so that's like, about $9000 CAD? Even if that includes VAT or whatever, that's on the expensive side.
Listed UK Prices vs Canadian
Ninja 300 ABS -- £ 5,199 ABS vs $5,249
CBR500R ABS -- £5,499* vs $5,999
KTM RC390 -- 4.999,00 GBP vs xxxxx
Based on the mat above, my prediction is that KTM will be around $5300 - $5600.
