[tito93637]

[allmiles1]

[Daxelinho9]

Aber sehr schönes Video, ich glaub so ein bike hol ich mir später auch mal.

[strnoob100]

stimmt das das das neue model von 0 auf 100 in 2 secunden beschleunigt ?

[dere76]

SEI UN MINCHIA! YOU ARE A DORK!

[jamz0232]

jap bikes sounds more sweeter than this one...

[chaserawlins]

@jamz0232 thats because the jap bike are inline, the rc8 is a vtwin much like the ducatis.

you are comparing apples and oranges

[AwesomEwow]

Nice bike but too angular lookin for me ;)

[buttsyrc8]

Would love a go on one - as sure it will batter any Harley

[kjuu]

haha coll in österreich

[miller743]

is it just me or does that thing sound like the valves are chattering or the engine is tearing its self apart???? sounds like shit i think katoom should leave the sport bikes to the japs

[buttsyrc8]

@miller743

NO it is a twin engine that sounds like a tractor.

Better than a Jap that sounds like an explosion waiting.

Not sure as love both

[Warioren]

Yeah, I would love to have a v-twin engine (acually, especially the RC8 or Rsv4/rsv mille).

I've got a R6 and have to learn how to drive properly before getting anything bigger.

I like the smoothness and the lightweight with the 600-750cc. Thats somthing you lose with a bigger bike :/

[WizoFan87]

@miller743 ähm that's the sound of a v-twin ;)

listen to a ducati it's got a similar sound ^^

[NeoDragonFlame]

very modern looking

[revolver50cal]

whats the top speed of a ktm 1198 rcb?

[TheNewwt]

sounds like a shitty go cart :/

[buttsyrc8]

Doh

[bilk1234]

i would never pay that much money you could of got a 750 for 12 or an 848 for 15 why a ktm for 20

[rama6maiden]

@bilk1234 ducatis are overrated!!

i woul rather buy a kawa or a yamaha or a suzuki than ducati!!!

[buttsyrc8]

Agree but get a blade as is a fantastic machine

[pathofpain69]

who's the orion cover by?

[buttsyrc8]

Love or hate it is a matter of opinion!

All the talk about power is studid as we do not have the skills to ride any of these machines at full pelt anyway.

Do love that Twin Noise but was also fond of my zx6r

[freeland01ar]

O M G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[guillelorete]

que buen fierraso me encanto!

[angelsaccount]

four cylinders only make sense on two bikes *lol*

[herrwest]

That dash has got to go! Other than that, the bike is sick as hell.

[artx4321]

@herrwest Whats wrong with the dash in your opinion ?

[herrwest]

@artx4321 It's just i prefer an analog tach. The dash almost looks like an engine code reader to me.

[artx4321]

@herrwest fair enough, i prefer an analog tachometer as well but i think this suits this bike more, in particular, the whole Austrian high tech engineering feel :)

[cavalllera]

I really need to say, 2 cilinders is horrible sound, 4 cilinders is THE SOUND!!!!

[flyingfree98]

ill give you a thumbs up cause i would take 4 of 2 anyday, but 3 is where its at. youtube daytona 675 and get ready to touch your self

[tregyslowagogo]

thjis thing would smoke an r1 my uncles got 1 they crack

[schnuper450]

is it faster then the r1 or ducati 1098?

[repsoil]

its not as fast as a r1 but i guess it

could beat the ducati

[extremer113752]

no, R1 is nothing special ducatti 1098R beats both R1 and this KTM, 1200 ccm 188 BHP, beat that. plus the amazing sound of a 2 cylinder bike :)

[Brainiac83]

And then a 200 HP ZX10R comes along and eats them all for lunch.

[extremer113752]

no ZX10R is 170 HP..

[Brainiac83]

2008 kawasaki ZX-10R

ENGINE

Type 998 cc, liquid cooled, 4 - cylinders in line, 4-stroke

Power 200 hp (149.1 kW) @ 12500 rpm

Bore x stroke (mm) 76 mm x 55 mm

Compression ratio 12.9:1

Valves DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder

Fuel system Fuel injection: ?43 mm x 4 (Keihin) with oval sub-throttles, dual injection

Torque 113 Nm (83.3 ft. lbs) @ 8700 rpm

Dont comment if you dont know what your talking about.

[Jmartin2683]

wow call someone else out for not knowing what theyre talking about... then site a manufacturer's power figure as your evidence to why you're right. that's a good one.

and no, a 1098r will absolutely eat a jap-scrap zx10. the thing makes damn near 100ft/lb or torque AT THE WHEEL.

[KTMcaptain]

torque means nothing. HP is the measure of work done.

more HP means more accel. a duc 1098 gets killed by liter bikes.

200hp. NO! BWM's S1000RR is the most powerful literbike out at 193bhp, not wheel hp.

a RC8 KTM makes same HP numbers and accelerates the same up to 100 as the jixxer 1000, but the suzuki's superior ram air makes it whale out more accel at higher speed.

a harley davidson can make 100ft/lbs at the wheel, and still get spanked by a 600.

155 rear wheel horse power...

[synkronyk]

litre idiot, litre.

not liter.

[KTMcaptain]

it can be spelled either wayi

[synkronyk]

No it can't.

Litre is english. liter is incorrect.

[ecstacyandscreamo]

you are an idiot.

[synkronyk]

Fuck you moron.

I'm well aware of the amiercan's inability to not only pronounce words correctly, but to change the spelling if it all just gets too hard.

Just because one population does something doesn't make it correct, especially if they weren't the first to use such things.

[ecstacyandscreamo]

Just because one population does something doesn't make it correct, especially if they weren't the first to use such things.

Some -er words, like many -re words, have a cognate in Modern French spelled with -re:

soo.....looks like the french beat you stupid asses to the punch. they must be rightt hen , you fucking illiterate

[ecstacyandscreamo]

In British usage, some words of French, Latin, or Greek origin end with a consonant followed by -re, with the -re unstressed and pronounced /ər/. Most of these words have the ending -er in the United States.

[tissao182]

but the zx10r is about 208kgs, right? the ducati 1098R is much better

[Ap1r0]

I think its 2cylinders.

[repsoil]

yeah it is 2cylinders

[cascorro1990]

1190 cc , 2 cilinder in v

[JayzBeerz]

Beautiful sounding bike

[St3v3666]

Omg? When wheelie the Km count goeas less (sorry bad english).

If u see when he wheels the counter of the speed goead down-> so the speed counter is on the adjective erase? (gomma anteriore)

BAD ENGLISH SORRY!

[Avalath]

Badass bike ..

[davidnipp]

lol at 4:24, front brake!!!!!

[VeronicaStone34]

Play Time Starts Right Now

fastloverfun._com

[benbay001]

wow amazing riding, nice bike also.

[diegofumiatto]

is beautymoto !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jrrm3]

That rider on the track was really good. Great bike and nice riding. To much walkaround footage at the beginning though.

[skater15153]

ya Jeremy McWilliams is ya know...ok hahah

[pressrolls]

The steering damper is a WP - "White Power". Its crazy that KTM has kept this relationship for so many years (decades) with WP suspension works. My 1983 KTM had a "White Power" shock. The name "White Power" seems so politically incorrect today when you think of it!! Instead of "Jeff White", you think "David Duke"! WHITE POWER!!!! ....lol.

[mauricera]

Why don´t you create the DP dark power" and try to sell it as a gheto bikers suply?!

Whatever the name, it works!

[kingtoobz]

From the WP site, "The white springs also introduced the original brand name of "White Power" which we are not using actively in the market anymore since 1991." Guess they caught on awhile ago...

[gethimtrigger99]

can this keep up with a gsxr 1000 it has less bhp but 200cc more than the gsxr?

[aaadogman]

plastic!

[mauricera]

You mean plastic like cheap plastic used all around her, or "wow, this is so plastic"!!?

[jcdenton7]

Don't know if I could get used to a digital tachometer. Also, I just realized the front of this bike (headlights and angles) look almost identical to the BMW R1200ST.

[Skter91]

hääää wiso redet der englisch wenn der en Österreicherischen kennzeichen hat ???

[tobyiy]

vllt weil er das video international verständlich machen wollte^^

[Skter91]

ja okay kann auch sein... wie gehts eig deiner ktm ??.. meine brauch auch nen neuen kolben.. heut geh ich mit der 250 von meinem dad crossfahren :D

[Adam17ek]

U IDIOT! on the cross Bhuahaha go to daddy kid

[vmactn]

I love my super duke, it replaced my Ducati Hypermotard. The RC8 will likely replace my Ducati 1098. I am waiting for my dealer to receive one so I can do a test drive. The Austrian assault weapons have arrived!

[Rampag3GodlY]

Dude this is like friggen porn bst thing is i have 1

[maxredragon]

this thing dopesnt have a fuckin corvette engine in it dumbfuck the new zr1 engine is like the size of the god damn bike ... but this bike does kick ass

[Dettengines]

blkout15 you're a f***ing dumbass...

[blkout15]

wow this bike looks like shit...

fuckin KTM is so gay even there dirtbikes...fuckin lame.!!!!!!

[gamwpanagia]

saying that proves that u dont know shit about bikes

[blkout15]

any other bike is better then this shit...even ducati and those fuckin suck bad...

#1 GSXR

#2 CBR

#3 R6-R1

#4 NINJA

[gamwpanagia]

yeah i agree to that,in this category everything is better than this shit...but their dirtbikes are badass....

gsxr ftw <3 :P

[blkout15]

hahah yeah dirtbikes is ok..but still just not KTM

[lukeeye]

Hahaha, you clowns, you wouldn't know technology and design if it bit you in the ass... you can have your ghetto rice rockets, leave the real bikes for men!

[blkout15]

this bike is gay

dude since when did KTM start making f'ing streetbikes?

It's stupid they just should have stuck with making dirtbikes

They are making riders look bad puttin this bike out there!

[lukeeye]

Take away the orange fairings and you have a 1200 cc race v-twin that has over a 150 brake horsepower. Pay attention to the details, like the swingarm with mid inner mounted rear shock.

[lukeeye]

You can call it ugly- that's a matter of opinion, but you can't call BS on the technology tip. This bike will smoke 95% of street bikes out right now in the canyons- including all those liter bikes listed below. V-twins, especially 1200cc, have more torque (to horsepower ratio) than any inline Japanese engines and considering KTM's dirt and supermotard history, its about time they come out with a sportbike.

[blkout15]

thats bull shit..

gsxr 600 would kick this bikes ass

[buttsyrc8]

D'OH

[daz636]

gsxr's all look the same- no style.

[blkout15]

yeah right..

[blkout15]

dude i dont care shtits a KTM its a P.O.S man

[buttsyrc8]

bet you could not ride it - not used to the V-Twin I would guess!

Probably a Jap 4 twin user.

I am so gay like you but where is the dual clutch Fireblade?

[blkout15]

man this bike is gay..i dont give a hell if it has a corvette engine...it's lame

come on it's made by "KTM" ha

[buttsyrc8]

Still better than a Harley!

[allansky72]

nice riding.

[mais1mentiroso]

sounds like ducati

[Cigla54]

V2 rocks :)

[mako7828]

damn nice man send it on over here so I can wring its neck for ya

[Kromer3]

der sound ist wirklich ein bisschen gewöhnungsbedürftig aber sonst weltklasse

[lipobeauty14]

aaahahaha it sounds like a golf cart too bad cuz its a hawt bike =( xD

[farjang]

Seem like a awesome and fast bike, I think with the technology that they have on it, actually worth the price.

[kawas007]

Looks awesome, doesn't sound that good though. Not a big fan of the gameboy display either.

[seftydefude1]

sounds like shit

[iasonasmb]

personally prefer the white

[tomieum]

fav :)

[gabaldon14]

it has an under body exhaust like buells do...

[polinisport]

What is cost?

[ajohnson]

whats that whistling sound?

[klefsvcar]

kuanto money kuesta la motorbike esa?

[buttsyrc8]

Love this but am also dying to see these twin-clutch fireblades in the flesh!

Could be tempted!

[1234Rox4321]

love it :) better than yamaha or suzuki

[Dhaze34]

but not better than honda

[Brmcdonald15]

nah better than the honda close second to ducati

[varincindy]

Nah,,,this bike must enter the world superbike championship and get the title or else just another fancy bike !

I love Japanese bike they cheap and fast !

[nickythehush1976]

Its all about usable power. You can keep your inline four.. watch out for that highside! I'd rather track a twin any day.

Plus its nice to have something a little different, not as good looking as the Ducati, in my view, but supposed to be a lot easier to live with day to day. Good work KTM.

[anthonyg7138]

Great bike!

[13herman]

dope shit

[1337l33th4x0r]

ugly bike :S

[awesomo1342]

gay get a gsxr or somtin

[DyamiDrumz]

lol, get a clue!

[Darkhunter213]

This is coming from a naive, 14 year old kid. Tool.

[Gadulaksinjan]

He's fuckin right!!!

What the hell with that bike is SO absolutely great???

For almost half the price you can have a much more powerfull and sophisticated machine like a gixr, zx-10, R1 or CBR.

That bike is a rip off. It's almost as expensive as a Ducati. Without being close to Ducati handling skills.

Thats your choice guys, but you gonna eat our dust and exhaust.(don't worry, we'll be really far, really soon)

[Darkhunter213]

Gadulaksinjan, you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.  Much more powerful and sophisticated? Do you normally pull shit out of your ass?

awesomo1342 made a stupid, naive comment -- that's all. Saying he's "fuckin right" makes you look equally dumb.

For the record, I have an 03' SV650 and an 06' CBR600RR. I love Japanese bikes but when douchebags come in and say "gay get a gsxr or somtin" they look like THE definition of a SQUID.

[Giannakos80]

did you drive it? if not: STFU!!! This bike has better handling skills than a ducati 1098!

[buttsyrc8]

Why what is good about a gsxr - compared to others!

Probably the weakest bike of all!

Not even close to a fireblade!

[buttsyrc8]

We all know the Blade and XZ10 etc are technically better.

But who cares when it is that cool and sounds great!

[msdrher]

this is the most beautiful bike, with 155 is not the most powerful bike, anyway i prefer it, i mean u can quiet achieve a max speed of 250kph, probably it may 270 O.O, very very very nice bike

[p0ngl3]

It's certainly different, I like it, don't think I'd have one but I do like the looks =D

[ViennaCrim3]

made in austria KTM 4-ever

[geati6783]

heilige scheisse, das teil biegt ab das gibts ja nich ^^

[eugeniopalurdo]

es espantosa

[buttsyrc8]

Want one badly.

Love the way it sounds like a fucking tractor!

Big V-TWIN cannot go wrong!

[andreassidera]

poli skliro!

[buttsyrc8]

What does that mean - am curious. Have to love that mad German!

Ta

[Trustmeimamechanic]

Sounds like it needs some aftermarket exhaust

[buttsyrc8]

Are you deaf! Cannot you hear it sucking in air?

[hatsuro100]

can't wait for next week and ride it !

[kuuubussss]

nice

[TESTOSTERONOMAN]

I love this bike !!!

[phelpskg]

Sounds just like a KTM. Gotta love it.

[redlightklondike]

check the speedo during the wheelie. can you tell where the speed sensor is on this bike?

[hatsuro100]

on the front wheel

[derbester]

nice!

[FrankBlazeNL]

McWilliams is bananas

[buttsyrc8]

We all ae all agreed

[desmodronic916]

red brake fluid for rear :)?

Dont like digi rev but bike is best

[raptorama]

Clutch.

[kbf750x]

ktm all the way

[redlightklondike]

best sport bike out there, no question.

[goldenracing]

Hello speed tickets !

[stuntjake7]

very sexy, and powerful. rode one at a demo ride. AWESOME! fastest and best handling V twin iver rode. GSXR750s dont stand a chace.

[motardaatletico]

It have a good handling also with a beginner rider?

[killerH3]

yeaph is so stable!

[goddardc74]

mine arrives early April. Get in!!!! Ordered with Akro exhaust - unleash the noise and get rid of that stupid Euro III noise-limited unit.

[raptorama]

You've got something pretty special to look forward to! Congrats!

[3dscott]

what does this thing rev to?

[raptorama]

Max power at 10.000 rpm. McWilliams say that 9750 is the sweet spot to shift up!

[glomit]

I must have one now!

[lehrjet31]

why didnt they just use buell rims break and tank to go with the exhaust

[W1LLPOW3R]

Good thing they are saying this thing is good, b/c looks like someone beat it with an ugly stick.
