Not quiet italian, but in the right continent

The new KTM RC8R looks to be a pretty awesome bike. Now there's 4 that are drawing my interest for the next bike, and only one is Japanese .....

and relatively cheap for an R spec bike..... $32,000 + ORC

$32k is more than most R spec bikes like the GSXR, CBR, R1.....

You looking at stepping onto a superbike next year tim or just a new streetbike?

What else are you considering?

[BlackFZR]

R1, Aprilia, and possibly the BMW, but would have to modify the right fairings somewhat......

Might give it a go in the superbikes and supersport

It is a very tempting V-twin alternative to Ducati and Aprilia. If I have the money now, I'd be also tossed up between 4 bikes - the RC8, The BMW S1000RR, K1300S and the Ducati 1198 - the last 3 has the edge with their latest hi tech geezmo. Fortunately for me I don't have the spare cash right now so do not face that dilema
I think we need a separate Motorad board considering the amount of potent and desirable Bavarian bikes coming out the last few years

Eventually i plan to own an RC8 and K12/1300R .. eventually!

I am waiting til the next model of the RSV4 so it comes with ABS and traction control before i fork out 32k for a bike. Until then i will make do with my other italians

Rsv4!!!!

[R160]

jeez, for 32k i could by a 1130 tornado and a tnt 899s, damm, i need six majic numbers... then again I'll probably just buy a 1198S for the perve factor :-)

mmm, aprilia rsv4.....*drools*

[ApatheticEnd]

ABS and traction control

Blasphamy! Wash your mouth out.
