Perhaps best known as manufacturers of the world's leading off-road bike, the KTM RC8 fully developed in 2008 came from the idea that has existed since 2003. Given the KTM is a relatively small fish in a big pond of motorcycle manufacturers, KTM was important to get this right.
And to make things right with the creation of a machine with incredible speed, and the fantastic response the character, for example, a Ducati 1098 with total ease of use and exposure to a Honda VFR800. This is a machine that is comfortable, practical and yet, while Barking Mad.
Kuttruf KTM RC8 said of Thomas, "was our goal to do the job easily with the rider. We are all different weights, heights, have different tastes. Moreover, as the engines are so powerful now, ergonomics is also essential that the chassis configuration. So I think it is important that you feel at home. "
Since previous attempts to KTM road bikes, the Super Duke and the 950SM, which is not entirely successful, many people were waiting to rc8 be the same again, bigger, faster, but a handful of laps.
However, the RC8 has surprised many to be the most comfortable and adjustable. KTM seems to have fulfilled the goal described by Thomas Kuttruf.
In terms of fit, the RC8 seems to have been beyond all our major competitors. The footrest can be adjusted forwards and backwards, and also from top to bottom. Similarly, the clip on the handle can be adjusted up or down the fork up to 25 mm. Since the height of the seat has two positions and two break and shift can also be adjusted, perhaps more runners, like me, find sport bike riding positions uncomfortable, you may be tempted to venture back into the field sports.
MTI has also been a pilot moved his useless knobs are an interesting style of watches. Instead, they act on a useful check on the left side of the picture.
With so many options that might be to ask if it's just a series of gadgets. Of course, KTM has built a lot of innovation in the bicycle to make it usable, but is it good?
Well, yes, indeed. Although all possible settings, the bike is incredibly lightweight and offers excellent handling and brakes great light control exquisitely sensitive.
The 1148cc 8-valve V-twin engine produces the same peak power as the Ducati 1098, but found it provides greater flexibility in its implementation. Since this bike is adjustable to fit almost any position inside the KTM seems to have broken a bone quite large.
