The non-R RC8 is great too and there's a very simple mod to smooth the throttle to something more usable. (Replace the throttle cam with one from a superduke)
Good video. How did you find the riding position (wrist pain etc)? We are about the same height do you think you could flat foot it with some adjustment? Thanks
The Incredible Sulk For a bike of this caliber. Super!!! Fully adjustable. We played with it a bit and it was really great. No flat footing for me without affecting handling, but one flat foot or two balls of the feet was completely doable.
I have a question foryou ! Is it possible that i saw this bike for sale this summer ? I dont find it anymore maybe you can talk to the owner for me ? Thanks
Man I want one of these I love low end torque and love the way it sounds but I'm only 17 so it's gonna be a little bit before I have the skill and money to ride one of these
i HATE IT. i HATE IT COS i CAN'T HAVE TILL NEXT YEAR. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAYS THAT THEY WILL NOT INSURE IT COS IT'D BE TOO EXPENCIVE FOR ME COS OF NO CLAME BONUS LOST. NEED TO WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR :( THIS THING IS BEAUTIFUL!!!
Alexander Hauge It is actually adjustable, but it would be on the tall side for super bikes, mostly due to the v-twin configuration. That same engine also makes it narrower, making it easier to touch the ground. The guys I was riding had a set up for a taller rider and I could still one foot it to the ground. I'm sure you could do the same with it adjusted to a lower riding height.

Simon Beauregard I just saw on Facebook that he had sold it. It was in a trailer heading off. Looks like you were a bit late.
