Ktm rc8 r


KTM is set to go racing next year with its RC8 R superbike, which is hot off the presses from the EICMA show in Milan. 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.

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!

Personally I think this one is the sickest, but I like all of the the color schemes I have seen!



Oh ya, check out the Red Bull one!
