Very sleek and IMHO a real head turner!! It will be interesting to see how well they market and sell here. I certainly can't wait to see them in the flesh.

Kudo's to KTM

There's only 10 RC8's coming this way mate and I believe 4 are pre-sold!

my brother is interested in one and has that kinda money, is there a demo model anywhere?

should we be expecting one in Tauranga then?

They won't be here until prolly April/May '08 and I'd be very surprised whether a Dealer will put one up as a demo due to the low numbers coming in.
I know that none had a demo for the Superduke-R this year but hell,I just had to have one

should we be expecting one in Tauranga then?

A definite maybe/probably...

Single cylinder ftw, i would be dead keen on one of those rc4 singles next year when some more moolah is in my back pocket, what do you guys think the price on the thumper would be like? 16k-18k? round the gsxr600-750 mark?

The 'problem' is you won't be able to keep up with 'proper' sports bikes once the road opens up.

Maybe a tough bike to sell when people want to keep up with their mates on 600s.

I love the idea and really want them to make it.

I doubt anyone will make a proper 400cc sports bike again, so this is as close as we could get. I even more hope this re-opens the ultra-light sports bike niche again. In this fantasy land I have bikini models for bedroom buddies. And yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it cost as much as a GSXR750*

Women and midgets'll would love it.

Singles and small light bikes with small tyres are so much fun when you get it just right that hopefully people will see past that limitation.

* So did the NC30 and NC35 back in the day.

Not so keen on these origami bikes, myself. I prefer curves.

There's no black on black and I'm not certain(yet) as whether we'll be getting the charcoal,white or Red Bull "versions".
