KTM has managed to throw in a clock, trip, digital tach and speedo as well as an on board lap timer plus a few other things too. The speedo on the RC8 is down right swanky and a wide variety of information can be accessed in either road or racing mode via a menu button on the handlebars. The RC8 also has adjustable foot pegs and as a whole the level of adjustability on the RC8 is definitely greater than any current sportbike I have ridden. The swingarm is made of anodized cast and sheet metal and the linkage system in the rear allows for 7 mm of ride height adjustment. KTM makes the RC8 frame out of chrome molybdenum steel and it weighs less than 16.5 pounds. Once deep into the braking they had a more progressive feel with ample bite. The Brembos come on so hard initially it took me some time to get a feel for how much pressure to put on the brake lever. Stopping power was never a question but I prefer something with a little less initial bite.
On the front are 320 mm floating discs with radially bolted, four-piston monoblock calipers while the rear has a 220 mm disc and dual-piston fixed caliper. The RC8 also comes equipped with premium Brembo components. Wheels are five-spoke alloy Marchesini 3.50 x 17″ and 6.00 x 17″. Front suspension has adjustable preload, compression and rebound damping while the rear has preload, compression (high and low speed) and rebound damping. Suspension is provided by WP Suspension front and rear and they also supply an adjustable steering damper as standard equipment. If the styling of the bike doesn’t float your boat, here are a few things that might an 1148 cc V-twin cranking out 155 bhp at 10,000 RPM and 120 Nm of torque 8,000 rpm. The distinct styling of the RC8 really sets it apart from other sportbikes on the market and it’s a look that I immediately took a liking to. Since viewing the first pictures of this bike on the internet I have been foaming at the mouth to get a ride on one. First order of duty would be a ride on the new RC8 as this was a highly anticipated ride for me.
