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

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!LotusSevenMan wrote:Ah I see Timbo. These days that means 20% vision in left eye and 20% right eye too so it makes sense ha ha
I agree. Each to their own. I just love the look of that thing but couldn't do it justice riding wise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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 

I see myself as a sensitive intelligent man but with the heart of a clown that causes me to **ck things up right at that crucial moment........'Jim Morrison'
