KTM 1190 RC8 R 2009

Not only in the rain do you enjoy the virtues; the great seating position and the high riding comfort - apart from the vibrations. But here the new R became a little quieter, the engineers worked meticulously on the crankshaft and the RC8 R now tingles much less in the hands.

Optimal chassis

great braking

improved shiftability

positive ergonomics

powerful engine

direct and agile.

Brake dosing

poor splash protection on rear wheel

poor stability during setup.

The new bike is definitely not just a model update, but a noticeably better overall concept, even for hobby riders, which is more enjoyable than any previous 600.

Relatively low overall weight

easy handling

good-sounding power unit

precise braking system

quiet, stable chassis.

Somewhat suboptimal in the high rev range

inappropriate design.
