King Of The Road - Ducati KTM RC8
Ducati has unleashed their new KTM RC8 – which being dubbed a Superbike by anyone who rides it and even looks at it. The new RC8 has V-twin engines of around 150 horsepower (can we say power).
This bike has a tough exterior with sharp edged styling – which is common of most KTM’s sportbikes. The RC8 features a new 75 degree V-Twin engine displacing 1148cc’s, making 155 horsepower. That’s class-competitive, although the bike is a bit of a porker at 414 lbs.
It is definitely a bike where you can’t help but drive down the road as fast as you can with the feeling of being fearless and completely in control. We do have to warn Ducati though that there will be some serious competition over the next few months. We will wait and see if they will match the superiority that is the RC8.
