  • Im with you Justin, The ktm have always been a top quality machine, just because its not one of those "main stream" brands people think there are not up to par with them, They are a very good top quality bike!

    Yes its not a GSXR, Ninja, CBR, R1 but KTM have some thing that these dont, thats individuality and heart! KTM

    Its like saying Danny Crane!......KTM!

  • The awesomeness of watching and listening the RC8 race is A MATTER OF OPINION. "Top quality"... well i havent seen too much proof of that... although that doesnt mean its a piece of shit. Gotta admit my comment was kid-like.

  • ktm have been making top quality bikes for many years, get your facts right then make comment, and the rc8 is an awesome bike to watch and listen to racing, we have it as a back up in bsb racing this year and it really is excellent!

  • Ducati measures wheel horsepower for all of their models? if not, I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything about the ktm making 180 whp.

    But still, Ducati 1089R 45k, Ktm rc8R 25k.

    Either way, I'll stick with my 7k US cbr1000

  • 180 BRAKE HORSEPOWER.

  • And that's why the rc8 R makes 180hp.. That's 4 horsepower less than the ducati 1098r, witch costs 45k.

  • @tuoppidop....yeah right, so what do you ride?let me guess, a hayabusa turbo?

  • about 19,000 US

  • depends on what you'll do with it...ktm's a bike you buy with your heart, perfect for track days,the odd sunday blast and of course bragging rights....blade's a bike you buy with your head, it is far and away THE fastest litre machine available..and you can commute on it! i'd love to have your dilemma!
