It's still not quiet around the RC8. It's been around for years in the form of photos, it's been on the streets for months now, but the freaks still whip out their digicams as soon as you show up with the RC8.

A lot of comfort offered

various adjustment options

simple, neutral handling

extensive equipment.

Engine tuning could be improved

squeaky rear brake.
