Wow, what a great sound, I want to get another bike to put next to my RSV4R in the garage, was thinking this or the Duc 1199. So far I like the white an orange,, black is a scratch magnet but looks awesome none the less. Thanks for sharing

@01Extreme69 how much is it and is it worth of buying? like does it sound good in person? cuz all the Vtwin in the Videos doesn't sound like the real sound in person!
@boom10123 After the ECU was remapped for the exhaust, it runs 100 times better and faster. I was quite surprised to lift up the front while in third gear. Its a whole new bike now.
They sound awesome with a better exhaust on them! I've got the full titanium Akrapvovic EVO4 system with headers on mine, expensive but worth the extra power. Nice chicken strips on the back tyre there ;) lol
I have a 2010 Ktm RC8 but not the "R" edition. The pegs, rear seat and tool kit/bag come in a box when you buy the bike. It takes all of 10 minutes to put them on but looks a lot nicer when they are off. I also have an FMF exhaust on my bike also. Its nice to finally hear the bike at speed because before I couldn't.
@tomatenzopp It was still new. I could always gloat and show my pucks on my leathers, from riding the RC51. No one should buy a RC8, without intentions of throwing it through some twistys.
nice bike! i see you did the fender dump kit. where do the turn signals go if you remove the rear fender? the rear turn signals inside the rear lamp? i am going to be picking up one this weekend!
@ironmedic I had them all removed in the video, but I put the mirrors/front signals back on cause the stupid Army said so, and I had a rear bracket made for plate, plate light, and signals.
I`m jealous of your licence plate.... ours are around 5 times bigger... kills every bike on which you put it... so you gotta modifications that cops really adore ...
Nice vid. FMF are great to deal with I had a prob with my cans and they sent a replacement. What did you do with the rear tail license plate bracket turn signals. I will hopefully be adding this same bike to my sable. Would like to start track days
Hi i'm running into the same problem with the heat on my right leg. Feels like my right shin is on fire. could you take a pic of your heat sheild you made? thanks
great video fella.I have a 2010 kwak Z1000 and just bought a 2010 ktm 690smc.Both have full akrapovic systems on.I love both bikes and am planning on getting a 2009 RC8 next year.I might be able to stretch to an RC8R but I have a strong urge to sell one or both of my bikes and get one like yours.I already have a JCE exhaust for the rc8 sitting up i my attic.
Im just wondering if there would be a big difference between an older RC8 and your bike.Keep the 3 or get a new RC8R???
@AbuLaith03 I got it from jaxmotosport (dot) com. I spent about 3 weeks trying to find someone who had it in stock. I also called FMF, and they didn't even have any in stock. Good luck, and jump on one when you find it. I did not remap or add the PC yet. I am in the Military and getting stationed in Europe so I am going to get the ECU flashed to Euro specs before I do any electronic mods.
Quick question. Im thinking about buying either this bike or the 848 evo. It will be my first sport bike I always hear people say start out small but is that really necessary?
@rosander08 I personally have been riding sportbikes for about 13 years, and I would also recommend starting with a 600. This KTM would not be a good beginner bike. Its very touchy. Look at 600's and 1000's from a big picture. They are very similar with a few differences.The 1000's have a slightly faster top end, (maybe 15mph), they are touchy, and less forgiving. If you want a bike for a status, you should get a cruiser. These WILL KILL YOU, especially being inexperience for the power.
@01Extreme69 depends on how much money you are willing to spend and how much time you are willing to devote to trying to get really good at riding.The new BMW and aprilia have different settings you can use for traction control and power output.and you should not buy an Ducati or Ktm without any experience either. just my 2 cents
my uncle had a busa with stage 6 turbo did over 300 mph on closed down air strip
