    mmmm, SuperDuke RR.
    The RC8R is the best looking version if nothing else, the colours suit it far better than the orange, would still like to see a RC8 in white like you can get overseas, it looked stunning in the pamphlet.
    Man, are we singing off the same song sheet or what !!!

    I think i'm the only man in the world who doesn't really like it.....

    For that money i'd rather have abrand new R1 AND a brand new R6...........one for the road and one for the track ..........and some money left over for gear/mods...

    Not that i'd be terribly upset with the prospect of owning one.....!

    Each to their own I guess............

    Teach its owner to fix it and it'll break in some way you've never seen before.

    Mmmm.. no matter how many times I look at the pictures or from what angle, it's still not growing on me. Quite simply - it's ugly.

    I'd also like to see the motor from the new R1 detuned about 10hp but tweeked for even more torque then slap in in the FZ1S with some subtle styling and chassis updates/tweeks.
    I'd buy that!

    Jeez. Your job must suck the life out of you.

    Tough break. Eventually a real job will show up.

    Well, if you could use the word only (simply because its less than Lula's guess)... the RRP for the KTM RC8 R is $38k...

    still a whackload of money , but apparently its definitely nicer than the 31k RC8...

    then again, its well priced when matching it to the premium bikes of Aprilia, Ducati etc.
