Though only a handful (50) of these ultra-serious superbikes made their way into U.S. dealers as 2008 models, KTM intends to bring in 450 of them for ‘09. The RC8’s engine is based on the 999cc motor that has powered the Adventure and Super Duke, but it’s 49cc larger and altered to produce a terrific combination of impressive top-end power and massive lower-rpm torque. The fine-handling chassis is anchored by a chrome-moly steel-trellis frame mated with a cast- and sheet-aluminum swingarm. Top-line brake components from Brembo, suspension from WP and lightweight wheels from Marchesini top off this no-bull sportbike.
