Gonna be a hard decision between the RC8, the 1098 and the RSV4 if I ever come up with $30k

I saw it last weekend. of all the new bikes I liked the honda the best, The RC8 looked kinda funny, bits and peices all over the place with metallic pearl on the top fairing and dull flat paint on the side panels.still I hope it kicks ducatis arse next season
They say the front of the blade is ugly. look at the new zx10 the front sucks it looks like big green ant

I picked up SuperBike mag in January and thought it [rc8] was pretty fuckin ugly. Its just the front of the thing! Underneath the skin its quite exciting and I didn't think KTM would release a POS.
Sounds like a blast to ride but sounds like a freakin chook chaser on that video. A grunty one though :yes:

You're confusing decent motorcycles, with a decent design philosophy, with a Benelli TnT.

Unless you're kinda small in that department I could see you having difficulties trying to ride it in that condition......

I like it....but I'd still have the Aprilia RSV-4 when it comes out...whatever the price premium.

Looks like it will be a nice handling and exciting bike to ride.

Just a shame the design team let one of their 13 year-old sons pencil the bodywork though.

Nothing wrong with being a bit different, i like the edgyness(sp) of it, makes it stand out.

The cinemetigraphy in that last clip is fantastic. That in high res would be one of my favourite bike adds/bike launch adds. RC8 appears to be an awesome machine.
