[dutchurbanminer]

@jedifury84 I hope you mean ,,drool'' because ,,drol'' is a strange word in Dutch.

[21scuderia]

[dutchurbanminer]

@21scuderia  Yip , its a beast !!

[Forty30]

god damn great bike

[dutchurbanminer]

@Forty30 Yip , its a beast !!

[ptakoviny1]

sounds like my 525sx with that ktm typical clicking noise

[dutchurbanminer]

@ptakoviny1 Yip , every brand got its own sounds.

[BarefootArizona]

That bike is sexy as shit. Damn...

[dutchurbanminer]

@BarefootArizona Early rise , streets are empty , everybody is still asleep , roll it out of the garage , turn the key and.... Wow.... music.....

[KOSKESH43]

is the a way to put a passenger on this bike?

plz help

[dutchurbanminer]

@KOSKESH43  Not really , on this bike you ride single , thats the sports factor of KTM.

[KOSKESH43]

@dutchurbanminer you mean if someone buy a ktm they won't give him the rear foot pedals and the rear seat?

[dutchurbanminer]

@KOSKESH43 On a normal KTM you can take a passenger , but this is a formula 1 bike , best to ride without passenger.

[JendrusZbojnik]

@KOSKESH43 check out the aprilia

[InternConflict]

@KOSKESH43 There are 2 Versions, RC8 and RC8R I think. First one provides place for a very slim and tough girl =D

The second version says: You don't need a girlfriend, take me to the track.

18,000$ Canadian... I want one so bad, but I can get a nice truck/car for that!

[dutchurbanminer]

@DaShnipa well , its hobby so dont worry about the money !

[DaShnipa]

@dutchurbanminer House, current bike, various payments etc say money is the point of my worries my good man. I can't justify paying that kind of money (at least not at the current stage in my life) for something I can ride MAYBE 5 months out of the year. It's a dream, maybe some day I'll own an RC8R :)

[dutchurbanminer]

@DaShnipa I understand , but one day , if there's an open day at your local KTM dealer and there's one for a testride , you're hooked !

[2bidfilmsguy]

@DaShnipa find the cheapest possible place to live, and start selling drugs, it works for 50 percent of Detroit why wouldn't it work in Canada.

[DaShnipa]

@2bidfilmsguy lmao solid point but I have a concience and selling something like that to a fellow human being would weigh heavily on me and not worth it in the least. My gixxer 600 will have to do until I find a day where I can own a superbike.

[2bidfilmsguy]

@DaShnipa yea well the reason I was able to own a nice car and a nice bike is just because I set my priority to motorsports first, I live in a shitty little house and have no tv or cable I don't have a land line only a cheap 30 dollar a month cell phone I dont use air conditioning and my house is cold in the winter, I use allot of coupons buy food on sale i don't drink, I only eat out every other month and it really adds up, i have a new golf gti and I just sold my Yamaha r1 to save for this

[DaShnipa]

@2bidfilmsguy I've got a house, wife, kid on the way, various bills including utilities, my truck, my quad, my gixxer, wife's quad, and a few other odds and ends. I simply don't have nor do I wish to lose any of this just for a bike. I'm glad your happy dude, but that isn't for me.

[2bidfilmsguy]

@DaShnipa its much more easy to save when your single, and i wouldn't recommend giving up the wife and the kid for a bike, but save a little money here and there for a year or two and hopefully you can get the bike of your dreams. too bad motorsports aren't cheap if they were we would have allot more gear heads in this world

[wwfww]

damn who needs a lover!

[dutchurbanminer]

@wwfww Well maybe one with a lot of cash ?

[Aerosmithrockr1]

There are two things I hate in this world! People who dont respect other people's cultures!... And the Dutch! Haha jk jk. Austin Powers quote. But yah I want me one! 0.o

[dutchurbanminer]

@Aerosmithrockr1 I think you can buy it much cheaper than us overhere with our high luxury-taxes !!

[krammy11]

I'd sell a kidney for this bike... thats how I really love this bike.

[dutchurbanminer]

@krammy11 They say you can live on 1 kidney , but........

[krammy11]

@dutchurbanminer really? Ok kidney for sale...

[TheCoolMovement]

is that a yellow factory? (gulp)

[dutchurbanminer]

@TheCoolMovement Sorry , please rephrase your question.

[TheCoolMovement]

@dutchurbanminer The Aprilia Factory.. can I see more pics? Is it up anywhere???

[TheCoolMovement]

@dutchurbanminer Where's the yellow one?

[dutchurbanminer]

@TheCoolMovement I'll make of that , next time I'm there , stay tuned

[riitaalin]

Just checked two Major Harley Dealers in My area. Stock (on hand) is very very limited. Obviously Harley isn't planning for a banner year in sales with this economy. Sad Situation even with rising gas prices.

[dutchurbanminer]

@riitaalin Overhere lots of used Harley's are imported , because of the weak dollar , but motorcycle sales are 30% down from last year , so even overhere were still spending less on luxury goods .

[RamblinAround]

Those are amazing bikes, I've yet to see one on the road over here. Thanks for giving us a look!

[dutchurbanminer]

@RamblinAround Its the first one I see overhere to be sold and started , I hope to be lucky to have a glmpse of the new owner riding this racer next time I'm at that shop again.

[easttennstudent]

obviously the economy is much better in the netherlands... people in america can not barely afford to buy bikes much less order brand new ktm rc8r's.

[dutchurbanminer]

@easttennstudent Overhere a RC8R is about the price of a H.D. touring glide , but only a few are sold each year , most motorcycles are within the 7 to 12K euro-range .thats about 9,5 to 16K USD.

[easttennstudent]

where are you at with all these awesome bikes? its rare to see one of these anywhere around here in east tennessee.

[dutchurbanminer]

@easttennstudent Well , motorcycle season is just starting here after winter , so bikes sold or ordered are now made ready for the new owners , this guy has bought a great bike but his wallet is a bit empty now, I think , thanks for watching.
