KTM Other description
I own 3 other bikes, all of them touring and weekend bikes that my wife and I use to drive throughout the Northeast. My wife recently started to enjoy riding on the BMW cruiser more than this KTM, and so it's time to sell it. I originally bought this bike back before my wife enjoyed riding, and would ride it through the hills in New Hampshire. I would ride it solo, but nowadays my wife enjoys riding with me all the time, so it is just wasting away in our garage.
The KTM made the top of my list when I bought it because it had all of the power and torque curve that the Ducati 1198 and 1199 had at the time, yet was significantly more reliable. If you don't know, KTM makes off road bikes that are iron-clad, and this bike clearly benefited from that engineering. If you look at the picture of the engine, I have never needed to clean it - it still looks brand new
In preparation to sell it, I have had brand new tires installed on both front and back wheels - which was somewhat wasteful since the old tires were fine. And I have had the brake pads replaced. I was able to find the special orange key and card with the bike's racing pin-code that supposedly allow you to switch it's mode for track use. I have never even tried it, so can't say whether this improves the performance in any measurable way.
This bike is absolutely the best value for a bike at the intersection of performance and reliability. It will never leave you stranded with a dead battery like many of my fellow Ducati or MV Augusta riding friends over the years. Meanwhile, the KTM RC8R isn't a bike people see every day, so when I rode it around, I was always the only rider on an RC8R. The pictures don't do it justice, this is a strikingly attractive bike!

2013 AMA Supercross Anaheim 2 Race Report
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Ryan Villopoto claimed his first win of the 2013 AMA Supercross season and his first since the knee injury at last year’s Seattle round that kept him out of the 2012 AMA Motocross championship. The victory in front of 37,789 fans at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif., made up for his disappointing 16th place finish two weeks earlier at the same site. His Monster Energy Kawasaki teammate Jake Weimer held the early advantage in the main event, taking the holeshot ahead of the Honda Muscle Milk duo of Justin Barcia and Trey Canard.
WSB, Nobby Ueda and my KTM RC8R
Tue, 15 May 2012WSB last weekend at Donington Park, once again delivered some amazing racing but I'm not sure what Leon Haslam has to do to get that first victory on the BMW. He looked the strongest prospect for the win in race one until Marco Melandri appeared to brake a tad early at the Esses sending the Pocket Rocket across the gravel. I really believe it was a case of innocent victims though at the last corner on the last lap in race two.
