Goodbye to the Blade .....

So today i have post add to sell my Beast Blade ...... I hope i ll find a good owner for her !

Yesterday i ve test one RC8R ..... and i want one !

I'm in France but if some of your are interested i can post an add on the forum !

 

You just spent all that money on the engine!!

 

Exact ..... but we can't fight against passion and the chassis of the RC8R ..... just perfect for my meter 84 ...

 

That's a shame.. But I guess nothing lasts forever!

See you on the other side

 

lol good !

which bike do you prefer blade or RC8R ?

 

Oh!! What a Q!!

Well all I will say is when I had loan of the R (best model 2009) after two weeks I did not want to give it back!! Tbh I'd say its one of the best road going sports bikes you can buy.

Its a corner eating beast, push as hard as you like in a turn it was on rails! Was like a two seater GP bike with my missis on the back, one arm elbow in the grass, amazing bike!

 

But TH 2011 model isn't better with the double spark and a better engine ?

 

So they say, they say twin spark is smoother but tbh I think KTM did that for emissions reasons, I just like the old R, better spec wheels etc.. But no way the new bike is not "better" and a bargain over the 15k price of the old one.

Three power up kits too for the old R (£££££££££!!!!!!) not sure if they do that for the new R, up to WSB spec 200bhp if I recall!
