    Still love the RC8, superb handling.

    However when I rode a RC8R back to back with my mates 2002 GSXR1000 at Brands Hatch the GSXR was pulling 25mph on the RC8R down the start finishing straight. I was gob smacked

    Yea it's not much quicker in a straight line than a well sorted 600.

    The handling is what makes the bike to be honest. I'd still love 1 for track.

    Totally agree, the only problem was after a few laps of Brands Hatch I had grinded away the pegs of KTMs demo RC8R!!!
