I still see myself owning a RC8 in the future but may just wait for its second generation to come out. In saying that there's 3 other bikes that I have my eye on too.Originally Posted by discotex
It also comes down to which Co. I'll be contracted to
Exactly...

I've said it once, I'll say it again. Much more satisfying aesthetically than the RC8.
Your pics dont do it justice though....

Ummmm no thanks....been there,did that and enjoyed it for what it was.
However I "suffer" from what's called "I'm-a-genuine-motorcyclist-itis" therefore I like to test-own all styles of motorcycle and appreciate them for what they are.
TBH I've been enjoying the nekkid buzz more so than the over the top HP machines that I've owned.

Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.

WOF and Reg were coming up.Pulling a couple of plug leads off would have a similar effect too

There is never anything wrong with the old bikes, (personally would love to see the KTM stay in Tauranga, any takers?) so yea, musta been a full ashtrayWhat was wrong with the old bike ? ashtray full was it ?
Guaranteed no bike sits idle around here (if it is, I'll hop on it). RC8 is definitely on the list, but think we will enjoy this one for a bit firstI just keep consoling myself with the knowledge that at least you don't have all of them sitting idle in your garage. You're singlehandedly creating the second hand market for shit hot bikes
Still looking at the RC8 or is the Brute hanging around for a bit yet?

Well took the 'Brute' out for a 40km ride this evening, as ordered to (I always do as Im told
Firstly, OMG OMG OMG OMG! and one more OMG
This is definitely a bike for experienced riders I would hate to see a salesman let someone out on a test ride without satisfying themselves they have a reasonable amount of riding experience.
It feels really short, but when I got home and made comment of this, we stood it against the 14 and it really wasnt that much shorter, it just feels like it is.
Its an extremely lively bike and the power is very raw and flighty, especially around town. You have to concentrate when cornering because it disappears into the corner so quickly, no need to worry about running wide, more concerns about running narrow, if there's such a thing.
The rear view mirrors are just for looks (excuse the pun), pretty useless. Quite a bit of vibration coming through the bars but once revving a bit this seems to settle,(but not the mirrors, dont depend on seeing anything much out of them).
The KTM was definitely easier to ride in general, but this is much more comfortable. The seat actually feels like a horse saddle, shaped the same but causes the rider to slide forward onto the tank (OK for girls I guess).
The rev counter goes up to 15,000rpm but I didnt dear go over 10,000rpm. At 9,000rpm in 3rd your doing 136km, in 2nd about 78kms, perfect for the tight stuff but so snatchy on the throttle that you really need to play in 3rd.
This is a bike that will take quite some time to master, so I expect it may grace our garage for a while yet
