Ktm rc8

[Big Slippy]

Not Italian, I know. But, would u? Wouldn't u?
Anyone with previous experience.?

Had Aprilia Mille - loved it.
1098s - too small.
RC8 - I keep looking at them, and like.

I'm 6ft 3, tried S1000RR, too small too. I know about fuelling and gear selection issues on early KTM's, but these probs can be sorted.

Any comments welcome

I have a ktm rc8... always wanted on. Its a 2008 model registered in 22010. All issues sorted. Runs very well.
I have all settings on low & in comfort mode, but dont be mistaken our idea and ktm's idea of comfort mode a two different things!!!
I am 5' 4.5" ... bit of a girly bike for a tall bloke like you

Lol...

If your knees dont hit yer chin.. try it out!

Noticed an RC8 in DG - very clean and very high.
Looks like it would suit someone tall.

It looks nice and right colour combo. It also looks as if its cheaper on tick by about £500, than buying outright...??

A good friend of mine had one he was 6ft5 and was fast fast fast and comfortable!!

I seen it too... same height as mine... you just adjust a few things and it lowers the seat height almost an inch ish. Around 31.5 inch seat height set at high.
The seat is wide.. give a try.. its still a twin! :lol2:
