Default KTM's rocket

have any of you ever seen it. the rc8 i think is what it's called, that thing looks so sick. probably fast too. anyway, does anyone know when that will make it to production? sorry, i don't know how to post pics but if you go on google images and type in "rc8" a lot of good pics come up. what do you think of this bike?

sportrider has a good article about it http://www.sportrider.com/bike..._rc8/

@#%)*&#!@$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I want a Superduke.

Too bad it'll cost more than the Tuono I want.

The RC8 probably won't see production until 2008.

I can't find anything official anywhere.... I read that a little birdie wrote that it might be here by the middle end of '06, but we won't be getting an FI model right away and it will be upwards of 11/12K.

Paul, are you sure it was a 990? I heard that the Superduke wasn't going to end up coming here, although I think we get the 650. Could that have been it? I'm a little confused, cause it's been a while since we've discussed the KTM bikes, but I do remember a variant of the Duke that didn't end up coming stateside because of cost concerns.

The RC8 is awesome...they have a naked version called the Phantom or Predator that looks too sexy.

You're right ross, it's the 640 Duke - but it is that color.

I just google KTM Duke and saw that color and posted it.
