...yep...Japanese bikes suck....and the Japs are a bunch of dumbazzes...not.

I've liked the RC8 from the first time I saw a pic.

Recently I was at an event and KTM was giving demo rides....man I wish this would have been one of the offerings.

I wanna see it head to head with the new BMW1000RR. 09 looks like a good year to get into the liter bike thing...

The RC8 is dam sure an interesting machine, When the dealer I bought my triple 9 from ( The sell Ducati Yamaha Honda and Kawasaki) has one I will go test ride it. Oh and comparing an R1 LE a Duc is rather like comparing a Corvette and a Ferrari . ( I have friend here on the board who owns a Supercharged Z06 that will outrun most of the prancing horseys out there but he will be the first to tell “It ain’t no Ferrari” and guess what he rides)The R1 is a Very nice bike that I have no doubt will outrun the Duc but the Duc has every system working together and is while perhaps not as quick is simply easier to ride harder because of it. (important to this old guy )Given my experience with the KTM Super Duke I suspect the Austrians are going to put out an excellent machine with perhaps a bit road focus than the Italians, This could be the one that makes me trade the 999. It will take riding it for me to find out though!
