Let alone to suit racing, setting the standard RC8 alone gives an amazing performance. Monoshock rear suspension to minimize the shocks that might occur and provide comfort for the rider. In terms of aesthetics, the back of the RC8 is also interesting and beautiful eyes. Monoblock Brembo brakes complement the RC8. It is not difficult to reach speeds of 125 km / h with RC8 and brakes 43mm USD WP will also reduce the rate easily as desired.

Furthermore about the engine, V75-owned RC8 shorter than the V90 owned other models. This causes the motor chassis is also much shorter and more space for efficient cooling at the front. Full handlebar also more responsive than with Ducati handlebar control sometimes can not compromise. Weight centralization is key in there and there Buell-style stainless steel exhaust in the rear.

RC8 machine is claimed capable of producing 160 horsepower at the front and 155 on the back. Peak strength RC8 touch the number at 10,000 rpm and the ability of the average is over 8,000 rpm.

In fact, the mechanics Mattighofen deliberately designed for horse power generated is identical to power in 1190 RC8 1098. A source said that KTM bought, not just one but two new 1098 Ducati motorcycles as study materials. It is not an unusual thing for the motor manufacturers to study the competitors product.

RC8 ignition system very quickly. When the ignition is turned, the engine will immediately roared loud in a voice that will make other riders jealous.
Regarding the ergonomic seats and seating, the first impression is visible is indeed such RC8 seat seat motor sports in general, but not as extreme as most other motor racing. As I sat on it, you'll feel like sitting in the middle of the motor, instead of on top of the front wheels. Control of the rearview mirror is also easy with automatic key.

Cocktail de genres

Une fois familiarisé avec l'inhabituelle, mais tout de même agréable position de conduite ainsi qu'avec la livrée de puissance très plaisante bien que plutôt particulière du V-Twin, on découvre en la 990 SMT un nouveau genre de moto à tout faire. Qu'il s'agisse de jouer les sportives sur une route sinueuse, de se frayer un chemin à travers la jungle d'un centre-ville ou de rouler des heures durant vers une lointaine destination, la SMT non seulement répond aux attentes, elle le fait aussi en changeant de personnalité et de fonction de manière étonnamment transparente. Il reste maintenant à voir si toutes ces personnalités arriveront, comme KTM le souhaite, à réveiller l'intérêt de ces vieillissants motards.

La 990 Supermoto T s'avère un véritable cocktail de genres. On y est installé à peu près comme sur une aventurière, mais la position de conduite dénote une influence standard, et même légèrement sportive. Alors que des caractéristiques comme une importante hauteur de selle et de longs débattements de suspension rappellent des montures de type supermoto ou aventurière, on se retrouve «assis» sur une version délicieusement délinquante de l'excellent V-Twin LC8 d'un litre de la marque autrichienne. Oh, et n'oublions pas la paire de petites valises latérales, puisque le T du nom est là pour tourisme!

Le résultat de ce mélange décidément étrange de genres et de composantes se veut une expérience de conduite qu'on peut difficilement arriver à imaginer sans avoir enfourché la SMT. Perché assez haut, le pilote qui en ouvre les gaz pour la première fois sera surpris de la facilité avec laquelle la roue avant se soulève.
