KTM RC8 'ready to race'.

KTM RC8 'ready to race'.

The 1190cc V-twin powered machine, which has only just been released, will be raced by young Austrian Rene Maehr, who tested the new bike for three days at the Spanish circuit in March. The 21-year-old has set himself the target of a top 10 finish this season.

hmmm... which Australian bought the Austrian firm then, must have missed that bit of news ;)

Good to see KTM mixing it up. I hope the RC8 does well in Superstock 1000. I am sure Alex Hoffman will do well in Superbike next year.

A very most definite welcome arrival from the competition based European manufacturer. Anyone who takes notice of both 125 and 250 roadracing GP racing (as well as a myriad of off road classes in worldwide competition) will know there are no questions at all in regard to their commitment and quality of product. Just how they will find their way through the initial development year for the bike pre-WSB will be most interesting to see. Go the Orange bike!! - and a 200bhp version for next year please!!

Looks like Crash is a little bit biased...

(Just a joke)
