KTM already produces decent V-twin powered bikes in the shape of the 990SM and the Super Duke but these aren't machines burdened with the 'tag' of Superbike like the new RC8.

MCN' Chief Road Tester Trevor Franklin went to ride the 2008 KTM RC8 at the motorcycle's launch.

So after four years of development will it live up to expectations and be able to compete against its rivals?

Watch the video to see action from the test and pick up the latest edition of MCN out today (Wednesday 5th March 2008)

  • @xskillx KTM started in 1934 and made their first bike in 1954,why do people make statements without looking them up first?? strange.

  • @phoenixar correct me if i am wrong but isnt it something to do with changing regulations? like the cylinder capacity and the amount of cylinders...

  • rc8 es una moto fantastica

  • @phoenixar yea they had one, KTM redbull 250cc ~

  • @UnufcE if you havent heard of ktm before, you have been living under a rock. i'd take a ktm over a ducati any day.

  • @phoenixar same for aprilia ?\

  • @phoenixar

    To race in motogp your motor MUST have 4 cylinders and 800cc(it will be 1000cc now i think) and rc8 has 2 cylinders and more cc...ok??

  • @UnufcE

    you wouldve heard of them then

  • @phoenixar KTM is a pretty recent company. The fact that they can come up with a competitive machine is already very impressive. Give them some time.
