All those riders who don't care about class constraints on the race track and don't have enough fun on the road with a 600 will find a good compromise with the 750. Satisfied 1000cc riders, however, will stay with the 1000cc. 1000cc performance with 600cc handling is not (yet) available. But almost!

The golden mean in every respect

rev-happy engine

sufficient power for the road

fast enough on the racetrack

Chassis components not of high enough quality for serious racetrack use

The RC8 from KTM has matured into a good motorbike. Unfortunately, the maturing process has taken a little too long. The engine characteristics are good, the chassis as well and the bike is great to ride both on the country road and on the race track.

Well-tuned suspension elements

fairly agile

acceptable brakes

positive cornering.

Performance could be higher

primarily designed for country roads.
