Featuring a V-Twin engine that displaces 1195cc's (that's almost the maximum size allowed for racing against liter-class fours), the liquid cooled engine pumps out 165 horsepower or 180 with the optional race exhaust. |

![]() ![]() Joined: Feb 2006 From: Marysville, WA I Ride: Scooty Puff Sr: The Doom-Bringer! | It's a cool bike for sure. But since the 1098 was square in their sights when building it, I can't help but be a little dissapointed. The base RC8 is 20k, and puts out less power than the Duc. This RC8R will probably be 10k higher than the base model - it better do 160+ at the wheel! |
