[KOSKESH43]

is the a way to put a passenger on a KTM RC8 or RC8 R ?

plz help

[StigRossi]

This guy's fvcking hilarious and a brilliant presenter. If there's ever a Top Gear Bikes, or just a bike review programme, this bloke should present it. I've seen some of his videos before linked on autotrader didnt know he had a youtube channel.

[goodfella21f]

ducati's are shit!

[Dreadzedan]

best looking tail i have ever seen on a bike, hawt ass, and a hawt bike over all.

[sooksooken]

that bike should be in the next transformers movie..

[jezuz12345]

Oh, and it felt easier on everyday use than my XB12R.

[jezuz12345]

Great great GREAT review! But it's Marchesini wheels, not marcheNISI LOL. I test-ride one (RC8 2009 methinks, not R) a souple days ago, only thing I didn't like was the on-off response of the throttle, if you're saying they fixed that, then I want one! Urgh, I shouldn't have tested this...

[loris199]

MARCHESINI, non Marcianesi...

lets try, something like "MARK I SEEN E"

[wwfww]

i just like his style!

[BarefootArizona]

That bike is amazingly gorgeous. It has the best lines I have ever seen in any bike ever made. Ducati eat your heart out is all I have to say. KTM is where it's at!

Do they sell these in the United States?

[StigRossi]

@BarefootArizona

Of course! :)

KTMs have been around in the States for years and years.

[SickK8GSXR600]

@BarefootArizona Yes, it is sold in the US. Compared to the competition, it can be said that it is still overpriced, but the looks are unique makes this bike worth it.

[BarefootArizona]

@SickK8GSXR600 Thanks. I was just curious. I can't afford this bike or the gas to put in it. I'm a Kawasaki Ninja 250r man ; )

This, this bike is RAD

[Iceberqe]

a ktm? no thank you

[rotorseven]

After watching this video and testing the bike back to back with the Aprilia RSV4 Factory, I bought this, it's awesome and with a JCE exhaust system to replace the original sounds ace, only £650 too ! Yes it's rideable every day.. but with care and a huge grin : )

[nnnija]

@rotorseven Exactly, very ride able everyday. I put 5200 miles in two months on mine.. I just love it.

[bigmike690smc]

bad ass..

[ozyamazing]

nice Brighton!

miss

[koprivaqi]

good video, good explanation a lot of advantages with the bike but unfortunately no disadvantages, and that explains it for us bike lovers WE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR DISADVANTAGES ;-)

[GabiieDeblois]

non d'une bite jdois aller chier

[669Banshee]

NICEEEEEEE I"m Ready to Trade all of my Toys for this  baby lol the M3 the kawee 250f and the Banshee LOL , BIKE IS SEXY !!!

[xninjazx6r]

best looking bike like niggers weezy baby

[topbanana188]

Nice review. Shell V-Power is 99 RON.

[pnevma382]

This is my dream bike for a weekend toy.

Excellent review, clear and very little "emm"s. Good job Luke. Keep it up!

About the exhaust, just imagine you'll be paying 2k extra which comes up to be the same price as the old model....win win!!!

[motorcycleluke]

@pnevma382 So true bro! Not bad for 15k it must be said!

[Vince62965]

@pnevma382 Doesn't have to be a dream ... trade in yer old bike for a deposit on this and you could be riding it for about £300 a month :)
