Cupa.
A 'concept' type bike that made it to production. All the good it did!

I agree. Each to their own. I just love the look of that thing but couldn't do it justice riding wise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just about anyone could do the KTM justice, it's totally unintimidating and very user friendly, I found myself nearly doing trackstands on it straight away!

Everything that interfaces with the rider is adjustable to suit and it feels really light, with a loooooooow centre of gravity.

Love or hate the looks, it's a damn stoating bike!

Although it cant always be trusted the MCN test showed that against the Duke, RSV and Blade the RC8 was not quite the same bike off the track. Great turn in/brakes/suspension but fueling and gearbox were poor. Overall as long as you like the design of the new blade it kicks its ass 8O
