2024 KTM RC8c First Ride - Cycle News
The term “exclusive” gets thrown around way too much these days. It’s a catch-all phrase designed to excite your vanity and separate you from your hard-earned cash, but occasionally, very occasionally, it’s a term that has some meaning. This is especially the case when talking about a KTM RC8c.
The RC8c is not a new motorcycle. It’s been around for three years and has served as KTM’s toe in the water as it returns to building full-on sportbikes for the first time in a decade thanks to the incoming 2025 990 RCR supersport machine. But the RCR won’t be exclusive. Not like a RC8c. We attended the epic Portimäo circuit in Portugal for the official send off.

      I agree that KTM needs a RC690. They could probably use a sleeved-down version the 790cc motor from the adventure bike to make it work. The RCR 990 will be the supersport bike to race against the R6/ZX-6R/CBR600RR/Panigale V2/MV Agusta F3 800 and Triumph Street Triple 765 RS.

    The dry clutch adds nothing I need besides considerable expense and nuisance. I had my dry clutch moment with my first Monster 916. Delete and give us the savings. The optional heated seat fixes the hard seat. But my Pikes Peak, de-restricted by aftermarket, is the ticket for actual pillion touring.

    I'm wondering when someone is going to do another comparison of the lastest crop of "retro" sub liter bikes. I've been eyeing the XSR900. I had a 2018 Z900RS, it was comfortable but just didn't do it when trying to hustle through turns and the wind blast was really strong above about 75-80. The 14 Superduke 1290R I had did not have that kind of windblast for some reason.

Betas support to the customer and the dealer is hard to beat. With the nearest beta dealer being 35 minutes away and after riding all the other bikes but the sherco i loved the look and feel of the beta. I would be on a sherco if it were more convenient however i don't regret my purchase.

    When you have a softer frame it will push energy off more which made the current generation less predictable because you don’t know how the energy will give off and when. With the new generation the frame is stiffer so it can take and absorb energy better making it more predictable giving off less energy when going over bumps or landing.
