Default 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 to the tires with the optional race exhaust.

I heard the list price was somewhere in the neighborhood of $15k. I dont think I would pay that much for KTMs first street bike

I do like their attempts in the 125 and 250cc debutes. Pretty impressive. And cost more than this putt putt. But then again, I am contemplating on the 09 zx6r.......
