Am I the only 1 that thinks it looks ugly?
Show me a new bike that isn't ugly...

I can't believe that these V-twins are coming into play so strong! I was first told of the 1125r (Buell) and that one looks pretty impressive, but now KTM is in the race...things are gonna get interesting.

I also looked around the site and found that they're makin quads now! Looks like a new future goal has been created.

So they are claiming to be the lightest sport bike with a dry weight of 419lbs? The 07 CBR1000RR dry weight is at 388lbs.

From past experience never a sunday lol its a mad house. Probably be up there friday or sat. we'll get in touch before then.

and if they price it out at 15K i cant see it as really being worth it. I mean their first sport bike with a new motor who knows what the reliability will be like but i would take it over a buell no prob. (not bashing)

I dont know know though 200kilos filled what is that 440lbs with a 150something hp. not too shabby imo and for a v-twin. WOW

I wouldn't mind having one, and i really don't think they're that ugly.
Which means something cause i'm a sucker for old school.

Here's a review of the RC8 by Jeremy McWilliams.....

Looks like these new v-twin sportbikes are going to give the I-4 bikes a run for their money. I wonder is Honda will come out with another v-twin sportbike?

I have seen a lot worse. I also like all the competition, hopefully that will keep leading to better bikes.
