Tell me about....

KTM RC8R.

Worth having?
Fuelling really that bad?
Paper thin seat really that uncomfy?

Any owners insights is a bonus. Ive read the bike mag reviews and they always wax lyrical on this and that. What I'm after is honest to goodness statements of fact of ownership of this bike..

Thank you please.

I'd have one for sure, best looking bike around in my eyes. If I had an unlimited budget it'd be a new one of them or a s1000rr in my dream garage Mr. Green

I've used one in a carpark and quiet back-road [wasn't trusted to take it out for a real spin Whistle

] so can't give too much of an idea about what its like. Comfort and position wise it did feel a bit razor like, the seats not exactly made for touring... but its tollerable. Nothing much worse than a lot of other sport bikes seat and position really. I am quite skinny though so if you had beefier legs or weight bearing down on the seat it might get a little uncomfortable.

Cant add more on what they are like to own but I can tell you they are fast. Stupid fast. I was heading up to Loomies on a GSXR750 and I wasnt exactly hanging around when an orange flash went past me. Was one of those RC8R things.
