KTM RC8 Superbike To Go Into Production

KTM RC8 Superbike To Go Into Production

KTM is to launch the production version of its RC8 sports bike next week a whole four years after the first concept machine – a litre-class V-twin was shown.

The company has released the pic of the new dashboard which looks like no other from this angle.
The other pic is an early prototype.

Of most interest is whether the company is taking advantage of new superbike class rules which allow a 1200 twin.

It seems logical the company would, leaving the door open to go racing.

Superbikes may be coming in for a bit of a resurgence, with BMW and MV Agusta also expressing interest in the class.
