    Ok at last its been paid for so ill put up some pics , i love my KTM RC8R it is a great bike at 90% of of circuits out there but i use it at Sepang that has 2 x 1km straights back to back , i can't can't compete the the inline 4's on the track , i know im not racing and do it for fun but i still hate getting past on the straight :mad::mad:

    Any way i have not sold the the RC8R , i sold my 2 KTM supermoto race bikes and brought this , will be shipped out in about 2 weeks to singapore then ill take it up to Sepang , can't wait to throw a leg over it

    i got a few extra bits and not much change out of 20 , but would cost me well over double that to build so i thought it was a great deal
