IPM Staff Bikes KTM RC8 Easy First Ride

[MrDim09]

im talking about the sound of a ducati.

[MrDim09]

Ducati Ducati .....why you think Ducati is good??I personally never liked Ducati.I fid it ugly !!!!And this sound of its engine sucks...

[InlinePerformance2]

@MrDim09 which one?

[Johnny5sWorld]

Haha, have several bikes but yes, I am looking for a new bike and the RC8R caught my eye.

[InlinePerformance2]

@Johnny5sWorld BMW S1000rr?

[Johnny5sWorld]

@InlinePerformance2

its a cool bike but I am leaning towards the Aprilia RSV4 Factory model.

[InlinePerformance2]

@Johnny5sWorld nice... one of my staffers is going to post your crash video on our site in a few days. hope you dont mind.

[Johnny5sWorld]

@InlinePerformance2

 I wouldn't mind a link but if your going to post the video directly I would mind. Sorry

[InlinePerformance2]

@Johnny5sWorld not sure I understand. Isn't everything on YouTube free for all? Especially since you enable embedding on your posts?

[Johnny5sWorld]

@InlinePerformance2

Nope, I have copyright on all my vids for Logo, company branding, and content. I have had videos removed from other sites and vlogs because they just posted my vids without permission. I know youtube even has a legal team in place for things in that matter especially when the sites that my videos get posted to collect revenue for ad streaming near content. Sorry, don't mean to be a dick or anything I just don't want my videos out there unless I gave someone the permission.

[InlinePerformance2]

@Johnny5sWorld interesting. good luck with that. but wouldn't it be to your benefit to have other people post your videos on their site bc you get revenue each time it's viewed??? enjoy the rsv4.

[Johnny5sWorld]

Recently road the bike aggressively and didn't like the throttle because it is way too sensitive!

[InlinePerformance2]

@Johnny5sWorld the R or regular?

[Johnny5sWorld]

@InlinePerformance2

The regular model, the R seems to have a heavier throttle spring so it feels more comfortable.

[InlinePerformance2]

@Johnny5sWorld I like the R better myself. Just saw your crash. You looking for a new ride?

[Pmason718]

Why can't i find this bike in the US with the passenger pegs

[InlinePerformance2]

@Pmason718 Your dealer took them?

[Pmason718]

@InlinePerformance2 What you mean by the dealer took them. Even on KTM's website they only show two models of the RC8 (RC8 R and RC8 R Race). When did the RC8 come with pegs and why isn't the regular RC8 on KTM webiste. Did this bike not make it stateside?

[InlinePerformance2]

@Pmason718 I am in the states. I got the passenger pegs. I have a 2009 RC8, NOT the RCR or RC8R race. Perhaps the race ones don't have them?

[InlinePerformance2]

@cpuspeed Good thing the KTM is Austrian then huh?

[The12Nurse]

It's a Vtwin right?

[InlinePerformance2]

@The12Nurse right

[The12Nurse]

@InlinePerformance2 yup.. i figured it out b4 the video end.... :)

[inlineperformancemag]

@The12Nurse Thanks for watching!

[stigarus]

to compare ducati to ktm rc8 someone said " Ducati is now like italian honda..." Ktm is better, cheaper, more powerfull and in my opinion it loooks better than ducati at last

[InlinePerformance2]

@stigarus word!

[MrNICO77000]

le bruit de merde qu'elle fait cette KTM .... l Oo l.. jaime pas

[InlinePerformance2]

@MrNICO77000 Merci pour votre avis. Beaucoup de gens seraient en desaccord avec vous.

[SpeedTriple59]

More reliable than a Ducati dont rattle like a Ducati.Dont get ripped off like a Ducati.Dont cost as much to service..As for power not that far off the pace than a Ducati.

[InlinePerformance2]

I love all the haikus...

[poxexo]

Not as pretty as a Ducati

Not as powerfull as a Ducati

Not as fast as a Ducati

Yet, I love it more than a Ducati. It's fantastic and the white version and the "all black" version are spot on with the looks.

KTM OnRoad: the new Ducati!

[inlineperformancemag]

def not as pretty, but it more than makes up for it in spirit...

[joshshoot]

@inlineperformancemag thats just a matter of opinion , i think it looks sick, its a complete different sort of styling then a ducati, this has sharp edges and lines, while the ducati is full of 'curves' if you get what i mean":P the only dissapointing thing is the front light.

[123dmx321]

@poxexo No not new ducati ^^

KTM was always the best cause its from austria <3 :D

ducati is nothing against ktm ^^

[nikonxxx]

@poxexo NICE id get both

[choopdewoot]

why cant more sportbikes have a dash like that

[inlineperformancemag]

i completely agree!
