Don't tell me you believe that KTM is the only company that stretches the truth. And for this to be a fair comparison we'd have to have weigh the bikes on the same scale with a full fluids. Either way the bike is far from heavy and underpowered. And a proper I4? Sounds squidly to me. Like I've said different demographics here. Personally I would and do take the V-twin torque curve over an I4 anyday. As for pricing you have to look at the options it has.Brembos, WP suspension, trellis frame.

Thats right...it was on my mind for 4 months...actually i just veiwed this page again! its a nice looking bike, but i was really having a poke at KTMs outrageous claims for this bike, go and have a look at the web site and see all the marketing lies...its not one of the lightest bikes out there, far from it. neither one of the most powerfull, also far from it. if it had a propper inline 4... and wasnt almost a full £2000 more expensive than most faster / lighter bikes...

Perhaps we should just wait a few years to see what happens with 1000+cc V-twins like this one. Right now, I think they have a lot of potential! Just look at the Australian Vee-Two Super Squalo. Would you believe a V-twin bike like that would spank a bike like the Hayabusa in The Isle of Man? Well, it did. I can see a lot of great things coming from Europe in the next few years. And yes, a Japanese I-4 has more power at higher revs. But, do the japs have enough style for the sophisticated? :D

It took you 4 months to come up with that. I knew by the first post it was bad, but that takes the cake. You're talking dry weight, not wet. And yes it may have a few less HP than that R1, I never said it didn't. You were the one acting like the R1 was out of it's league with less TQ and more weight. And yes They're built to compete with Ducati. It's a V-twin sportbike not I4, different demographics. And no I've never ridden a bike. (where's that sarcastic smilie when you need it)

so empty the fuel tank and fluids to get the dry weight and its prob about 180kg...

imintheshed (June 18, 2008 at 8:07 pm)

Umm...the zx10r weighs 179kg FACT. produces over 188bhp...more like 195 with ram air...also a "fact" and it costs about £8500 new.and im glad u admit that it cant pump out more horses that a bike made five years ago..rc8 is made to compete with dukes eh?....says it all really.But my main point is power curves...oh sorry...have you ever ridden a bike before?
