Rc8

Nah not at all, think my first service was about £120 then this next one is about £200 what redline will charge me but it couldve been about £300 but thats based on really high mileage.

 

god sounds evil!! liking that..

 

Yeah my old phone did NOT like that RC8...lol did you know Akrapovic said the RC8R has the best performance of all out of jap and italian bikes, also KTM's V4 motogp motor is the most powerful engine they have ever had on dyno..!

 

Arthur any photos of the bikes you raced?

 

Ssshhhh, dont tell valentino....

 

Yes mate when on my pc will post sone up, we were number #33.

 

couldnt agree more Damo.
I have owned 4 big V twins and love em.
Completely different to IL4s.
I had to adjust to riding the Busa after the SV1000.
I would love a V as well as the blade

 

For Givover here you are bike looked after for 2009 by me, rider #33 Francis Wiliamson. 4th in the 2009 BSB KTM RC8 Supercup.


Francis on the left


Race 1 Brands (#33)


He's a quiet bloke untill you stick him on two wheels...lol


My girl on the loan RC8R we had the bike for 10days or so mid summer it was ACE!!

 

Many thanks for taking the trouble to post Arthur .What Tyres did they have to race on ?

 

Dunlops mate

 

I want one now after reading this lol

 

So do i but may have to wind my neck in a bit until work picks up .

 

Nah, don't buy one gents.......they're crap

(Ssssshhhh, best kept a secret)

 

i love the Blade and in the HRC colours i think its one of the best looking bikes i have owned ,however i like the look of the RC8 but as a second toy just to clean and to look at .

 

Lol you lot I dunno.... Yes Rob he does loads of that and hes a noce bloke.

 

I'm
Thinking for my track bike!

 

Oh they're great for that.....and for Sunday blasts or even euro blasts as they're great long distance.

 

Ah, now there's a problem

Godfather on the Ktm forum now is trying to get his Akra down to a sensible level for Malory......98db day.... Good luck with that

He noise tested it today at 5k and it read something like 113db without baffle & 109db with baffle in

They're all currently coming up with ideas of how to sort that.

What I'm going to do is get the stock map put back on my ecu by redline with the stock exhaust fitted, then have it pcv'd & dyno'd to run a map for stock and then fit the Akra back on at the tuning place and have a map done for that.

It's the only way really, can't have an RC8 without a loud pipe but you can't track it on most days using that pipe so will need a work around

 

I had a rc8 year past though had to sell due to F*** face, I loved her and I think looks wise you either love it or hate it, but for me I thought it looked the dogs balls, she was in white, honestly one amazing piece of kit, I bought her for 8 G she was reg 10plate though was a 08 spec bike, I sold her a year later for 7800. Was well worth the £200 odd................................
