@@replynotificationsdisabled A lot of people want the R7. The R6 is one of the most boring bike on road.

Same for the R9 but even better since the engine is such a joy and also because Yamaha did put really good brakes and suspension settings.
This and (if) Yamaha finaly presents a R9! Triumph wanted the newcomers money and build a Daytona 660 instead of a 765 as them should have so they are out. KTM and (probably) Yamaha are the only two left to bring something exiting! Obviously only if the price is right.
It won't because KTM will price it to the moon like the other 990 models, only idiots would like to pay +16K for a middle-weight sports bike because the literbikes are far more powerful with little weight penalty..
@@user-qv5lr1sy9o only idiots would by a thousand full stop, whats the point. way too much power to actually stretch its legs and enjoy the thing. a 600 has more than enough power, the only reason you want more than that is dick measuring. More power doesnt make a better bike, often the opposite.
The messaging was the problem. Talking about a large displacement faired sport bike being too dangerous for the street while releasing a 1290 super naked for the street was duplicitous at best. It reminds me of other products only being considered dangerous if they had plastic stocks instead of wood stocks (while being the exact same product excluding the stock material in both cases).
What they mean was electronic safety systems that we are getting used to have in any category specially in super bike category, and I'm personally a very big fan of rc8 but basically all the safety system that it had was "ABS" and that's about it (I'm not even sure if it did have traction control or not ) And comparing it to the other competitors and even other more modern ktm bikes that have all the gadgets from wheely control to 6D traction control and ABS systems and etc, it actually was kind of lacking... But a great bike nonetheless and it's gonna be a great future classic in my opinion (and one of the reasons for that is the actual fact that it doesn't have that much electronic gadgets on it and is a more pure driving experience, although lacking an analog tachometer to complete that analog experience to it's best in that that regard !!)
@@antoniovenegas6237 The 2006 ZX-14 also had nothing and made just under 192 horsepower, and that is just one example of many. The primary point was that taking a Duke/Super Duke and adding sport bike plastics to it magically made it unsafe and unfit for the road which was laughable at best.
its the comeback of the iconic supersportbikes of ktm after many years of saying that they wont make them anymore. a new touch to whats already on the market in that segment@@itstherealjammin
@@itstherealjammin There aren't many big-twin sportbikes in the market. Plenty of middle-weight twins and plenty of 4 cylinder race bikes with far too much power for the road, it's a nice inbetween. I have an SV1000S, pulls like a litre bike down low but has the top-end power and gearing of a 600cc supersport, perfect for the road in my opinion. I just wish it handled better like a true supersport and that is what KTM is doing here, super excited.
I left KTM years ago due to unavailability of parts and poor assembly on the new bikes (plastic and stuff found in the engine cylinders. I hope they’ve fix their quality control. Because this bike could really be something special.
I would agree that years ago KTM had questionable build quality. Nowadays it seems to be a lot better because I had a 2022 890. Rode it as a daily and put 18k miles on it until I decided to try something different and sold it. Had zero issues with the bike doing the maintenance myself. Plenty of aftermarket and oem support that I put on that thing. It's the one bike I really miss having.
Only halfway through the video, but let us all appreciate that 1190 RC8R, what a beauty ! I had that engine in my 1190 Adventure R and it was bonkers ! I would still jump 1 meter high if I got my hands on a RC8R, but they are hard to find ( non track used ones ).
Nothing wrong with a track used bike, it's what they were designed for after all, just check that maintenance was kept up on. Track riders are usually waayyy better at keeping up with maintenance anyways.
As a long time KTM customer, current SDGT owner, retired racer but still track day enthusiast and dare I say it Panigale owner (different bikes for different reasons right and who can live with just 1 bike in the garage?) I'm pretty much dying with anticipation to see more about this and certainly a potential buyer if it ticks the right boxes for me.
"Different bikes for different reasons..." try to explain that to my wife..., I've been trying for years 😏. KTM coming up with this now won't make my live with her any easier 😂
Imagine having this kind of videos throughout the whole motorcycle industry history. Would have been soo cool to get to hear the old designers and engineers talk about the design and engineering process behind the early motorcycle models. Thank you for letting us see what's going on behind the veil. Cheers from Slovakia!
Finally!! I wanted a RC8 especially when Chris Fillmore raced it in the AMA superbike class. I've been thinking about getting the KTM 1390 GT, but this might change everything...Ready To Race!
Wow! they fitted some fairings on the 990 Duke and are gonna charge you a premium for it. Calling it "Groundbreaking" "Game Changer" or something like that. Come on KTM, this is the end of the combustion engine era. Give us something crazy! like a 165kg. 270hp, V4, Supermoto, or something..
So excited to see more of this bike, KTM is by far the most disruptive bike designer, and the technical aspects are ahead as well. To me, KTM, Aprilia and Ducati are today the best bike brands on the market , and yes it's European!
This is great news. Ducati is currently the only brand still making a proper supersport twin-cylinder with the Panigale V2. Back in the day you had a lot more options, with Aprilia, Ducati, Honda, Suzuki all making this kind of machines. I owned several of them and this kind of bike is the best for sport street riding in my opinion. I imagine this KTM will be a parallel twin though. What makes me more excited is that I can imagine other brands stepping up to compete. Aprilia will likely bump up the displacement of its RS660, and Yamaha could easily release an R9 for a 3-cylinder competitor. Good times if true :)
Finally! Guys, god damn, we’ve been waiting for almost a decade now! Now I’m hyped! But hopefully the price won’t be to far of the Duke 990. Your chosen competition is obviously the red ones with their V2. But if it’s a similar price than it will be a though one.
Long over due. As a owner of two KTM RC8R bikes. It is great to see the attention the bike gets when people see one for the first time in person. I love the passion of the brand to be dominate. Also a Ducati owner, great to see KTM begin to make some progress with the MotoGP bike. But at some point outside of winning a championship at the highest level, where does all the technology and experience go? Finally the return of the RC8 R brand. It would be nice to see at some point the RC 16 MotoGP replica come to life in the future. My guess that is forth coming as Pedro Acosta continues to do well with the RC16 and when he wins the championship, then will KTM begin to think about making a tribute bike for the KTM enthusiast. I will say Ducati marketing team knows how to feed into the true enthusiast, by making LE and tribute bikes. Don't reinvent the marketing wheel, just making them. They will sale just like the RC 8C bikes. Just give us all options to buy them and not sale out in less than 5 minutes. LOL!

Excellent presentation. As a long time ducati rider I've been looking for something different so I just purchased an 890 smt. Now with a sportbike coming i might be a full convert to ktm
From the video, we can probably assume that the Regal model of this bike will be fitted with a smaller wing, and that the concept wing is a KTM power part. Also, given that the air intake is under the seat, we expect the headlight to be mounted on a dummy intake similar to the one on the YZF-R7. Therefore, the design of the model to be unveiled at EICMA may be very different, but I hope it will have a cutting-edge design reminiscent of the RC8. Because I have been waiting for a KTM supersport bike for a long time! ☺
Finally a full orange bike… so aggressive so beautiful…

Therefore, the design of the model to be unveiled at EICMA may be very different, but I hope it will have a cutting-edge design reminiscent of the RC8. Because I have been waiting for a KTM supersport bike for a long time! ☺
Thank God! Finally!
I'm a videographer and fucking hell! This series is gonna be fucking huge!
the old RC8 is ahead of its time. Hope you can bring it back with 1290 platform
On more super sport bike joining a super bike category 😎😎😎
Alles schön und gut aber wo bleibt die 180+ ps version? Könnt ihr entlich mal eine supersportler machen wie die anderen auch?

Best bikes in the world. All kids dream bike in my hometown for sure. Lol.
ready to race 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ready to race
I'm soooooo excited!
Are the cams going to last the life time of the bike or is it going to be a maintenance/replacement item every 10k miles.
“Normal wear”, they’ll buff out with a bit of scoth brite. Or so the rumour is 😂
@@SomeRandoInternetPoster I thought you just use a bag of rocks and rough them up to finish
@@MrMystang92na, the bag of rocks is for putting inside the engine for the unique KTM engine sound, or is that a bag of spanners 😂
Acosta from Moto GP is the craziest coincidence for marketing of this bike with how much hype he’s getting and bringing attention to KTM
i’m so excited for this bike. i want one so bad 😩 might end up having to trading in my 790.
Finally a KTM supersport
Bring it in black color to the US, I'm pre-ordering one!
is the orange of the bike the same one as on the motogp bike?
