had a proper look at one today in the KTM dealer at loughborough, first time ive really had a good look and i gotta say im impressed, top quality parts i.e marchennesi wheels WS suspension etc and very well put together aswell, still un decided about the front end look but the back is lovely, the one i looked at had just 2k on the clock was in white which did look nice and had a private plate RC08 XXX  which has gotta be worth a pretty penny, askin price was 9k.
anybody rode one??

[jonah]

they also had a superduke 990R in black with the orange frame brand new for 8k which was also fookin lovely.if i ever decide to give sports bikes a miss for a while thats my weapon of choice without a doubt.

[Andy J]

the superduke R is a lovely bike I have to agree on that.

KTM always have top components on their bikes i.e. WP suspension but they can also be prolematic too unfortunately, I'll be sticking with my lovely 10R for a while I reckon

where about in loughboro are they?

been trying to get some eyes on for ktm bits

Love the look of the RC8 however i don't think i'd go for it plainly becasue it cannot touch a "jap four" in the speed stakes and you'd prob get beat by a 600 too.

If speed aint your thing but track work is then it could be a good buy - as said above it certainly looks lovely (although it does feel cheap when sat on - lots of plastic around the clocks etc.)

  Dribble sex wee. Looked at this at the bike show, mega, deffo on my 'next bike' list.

[chriswillis]

My mates, albeit a normal 'duke, feels SO unstable it is silly. So easy to turn though but feels unnervingly weird.

Mate of mine had a test ride on one a while ago.  Said the handling was awsome, but like they said in the tests the fuelling was crap.

[ZX10R-RACER]

those RC8 look good but they have a lot of problems

[slapknacker]

oh yes i do like KTM, a firm run by very enthusiastic bikers, like most i suppose

[zx10r bob]

this was at this years nec show...................

[bond_yzf]

only expereince ive had of ktm,s is of there mx bikes and for that reason i wouldnt have one yeah fast as from the crate but after 6mnths they seem to self destruct

i love the look of the rc8 but thats it......... cant beat the japs for build quality

but thats just my 10 pence worth im sure its a great bit of kit

Tony, as u turn towards B&Q turn left past autowindscreens and OAK FM etc and keep going down the road till your next courtyard on the LEFT, don't listen to Jonah (one to many in the plough i think) but he weren't far away !!!!!!
