time for a new toy ! ?
Well fellas there's a new woman whose caught my eye and her name is KTM RC8 ! I'm impressed and love her lines. I like what the Mags have to say about her. She's not perfect but she's got character and as we know that goes a long way ! so any thoughts pro or con would be appreciated.What is best in life ? Crush your enemy, see them driven before you & too hear the lamentation of their women.Tags: None

That ktm sounds nice but for that kind of money theres bikes a plenty. Wouldnt be my first choice but it sounds like a kick ass machine.K&N ~ full stainless yosh ~ flush front signals ~ ideal cycle undertail ~ russell stainless front and rear lines ~ Barnett clutch springs ~ cheesey ebay hugger ~ fuel moto ATRE ~ euro right hand switch ~ speed metal shorty levers ~ Joe V airbox mod ~ flapper delete ~ +5+10+5 (thanks chuck!)

Re: time for a new toy ! ?
I guess I could start with that and get rid of the haloween black and orange theme and that lighter panel on the front, tank, and tail, powdercoat the swingarm and rear subframe, then paint the rest of it, saw off the plate-holder and turn indicators, lose the rim tapes. It's still a pretty ugly frame. I see that the passenger seat is...on some other biike? Now that tail is the opposite of a TLR...what are those stupid orange dots on the top of the tail?
It's flat panels have that stealth-fighter look that the Countach uses so well, but the paint still needs a lot of work.
But from everythign I've heard it's a great bike and a starting platform worthy of your time working on, with great potential.Last edited by cyclecamper; 07-13-2010, 06:10 AM.It's about control skill; this is a motorized dance for joy and not Russian roulette.

Re: time for a new toy ! ?
Don't know what the dots on the rear are.. reflectors, so people can see you from behind when you wheelie?
Didn't like the RC's look when it first came out, but it grew on me
The orange stripes on the carbon version are a bit lame. Like the black/white theme more.
