Anyone run into a KTM 1190 RC8?

[NoxImus]

I'm in NY, near Albany on business today... I could have sworn I saw one on the other side of 87. They look pretty BA, just haven't seen one up close.

That race bike looks ****ing awesome. Sub-400 lbs and 180hp at the wheel, sounds intense from a twin.

That's what I was thinking, price point isn't too bad either.

I've seen this particular one in person. Pretty sweet Sounds amazing

First one I saw (not at a dealer) was parked in front of my last apartment. I used to live above a tattoo shop. Sharp-looking.

Next was on track at my last track day. Cool guy who control rides for Motorcycle Xcitement... he guided me around traffic nicely (and quickly). My impression was it wasn't quite as fast as my bike in a straight line but I'm sure it would still be fun as hell. I love the way they look, too.

[greenstreak9205]

The catch is if he prices it any higher it won't sell You never get out of em what you put in em

Maybe, but that's a straight up race bike, with parts almost worth that much

[greenstreak9205]

Shipping from austria has already been paid..after that the parts are almost free

Oh, and the catch - not a lot of top end. You either ride it fast through the corners and maintain a high average speed or you get into a straight line drag race with an inline 4 and get smoked like a Philly blunt.
