The KTM RC8 is a wonderful bike, let down by a poor gear box, first gear makes the biggest "clunk" ever and the fuel injection at low speeds is very very poor. Moving at limited throttle in first is impossible.
I adore the bike, and am willing to live with these issues as the bike is just wonderful at speed. Pipe is a must.

If you haven't ridden the bike let alone bought one, do NOT bother writing a review.
