I have a '14 RC8R, and I absolutely love it...with the exception of the seat, and the mirror position. Chase nailed it. The seat is hard, and the material is super slick. I'm planning on getting my seat redone.
This bike is truly a beast. The 173hp V-twin is a rocket. Extremely quick, with huge torque throughout the rpm range. I wish he would have been able to open it up.
dude i'm really not trying to be just super negative but your reviews are honestly pretty terrible... You basically keep repeating the same stuff over and over again, complaining about the modes that you don't even know for sure.. and then by the end of the review you don't know anything more about the bike than when you came. That's not a review. Engine layout, ergonomics, brakes, aesthetics, feel, ease of use power delivery are all important topics to hit. I think you just need to plan a little bit about what you're gonna say and go through those points in your video and not just wing it.. it's just not working anymore.
+Julian Roach I love Chase's videos but I have to agree. Although this was a fun video to watch, it's left me wondering how the suspension and brakes are, how heavy it feels in comparison to other supersprts etc. I do hope he reads this and it gives him some good ideas for future reviews
+Julian Roach I totally understand where you are coming from Julian and also appreciate you taking the time to comment. One thing I will point out is that these videos are specifically NOT reviews. Nobody in their right mind would attempt doing a review on something they get on for the first time. These videos are "First Rides" for a reason. My goal with them is to give you my first opinion on these bikes as (ideally) you would feel doing a test ride on them. Because of that reason I don't go into massive detail about bike specifics because I want to come into the video with an open mind. All that being said if given the opportunity I would LOVE to start doing actual bike reviews but to do that I would need the bikes for something like a week or 2 so that I could really get a good feel for the bike. Hope you understand where I'm coming from in the above message.
+Julian Lankhorst lol, we have two Julians in there! Thanks for the comment. I assume you'll be able to read the comment I made to the other Julian. What I will say is I understand where your coming from and I see a more relevant "argument" with you. While these videos aren't reviews I feel like I could do a much better job especially if you are left wondering those specific things after watching it. If I didn't touch on those things then that was my fault and something I can definitely strive to include in future videos. Speaking generally what are the main things you are curious about when watching these videos? That will help me evolve this series into something that better encompasses what people could be looking for!
+chaseontwowheels Chase! -believe it or not, these ARE reviews, but it should be understood by everyone that they're also FIRST reviews. You've done a ton of motorcycle reviews and have reached that status where others honestly consider your opinion. Take it as a compliment that your subscribers are pushing you harder. With that being said, I think some of the more helpful aspects to cover are the more qualitative things that someone like me sitting at a desk can't get from a specs page or a promo video. How does the bike feel? How is the throttle response? What's the wind like? How do the brakes react? Could this be a daily driver or just a track bike? What does your girlfriend think of it as a passenger? Those types of things are what I think people are asking for since it's difficult to test ride a bike unless you have the cash in hand. You've addressed these questions in other reviews don't get me wrong, but lately your newer videos have been shorter than others is all. Keep it up!
+chaseontwowheels I do understand that it's just really a first impression type video. Or at least it started out that way. What it has evolved into is imo something more. I mean just look at the time and thought and effort put into the footage and editing at the beginning. I honestly think that a very small amount of fire thought and effort will transform these videos into something more enjoyable and informative to your viewers. Obviously it doesn't have to be a proper review but a first impression video should always include a brief introduction to the main bullet points of the bike in a somewhat structured way. I think if you put a bit of thought into the route you specifically take on first rides it would help a lot. A route that you can work your way through the points you want to address. A route that lets you exploit the traits of a super sport that I don't think is being accomplished now that is so important to us, and only someone like you who had ridden so many bike can give
It's funny seeing someone review a bike they have no clue about. The bike is a stripped down race bike for the street. It doesn't have any kind of electronic aids like the BMW and Ducati, but that makes it a raw beast.I thought it was kind of slow also until I broke it in. You really need to get on that bike to get all the power.The mode button is only to change the read out on the display and to change the fuel map. It only has one mode.
+ASH_ RC8R fanboys commenting on reviews...this happens every time a popular bike doesn't get praised in a video.
+allcartuner I'm not a KTM fanboy at all. I was just saying that he really needs to get on that bike to wake it up.I could care less if someone likes the bike.
ASH_ RC8R Sure buddy, sure.
+allcartuner Ok you got me haha I do love the RC8R, but I'm not a fanboy of any brand and have owned many different bikes through the years and don't get offended at all if someone doesn't like a bike that I own or like.I was just making comments about things he didn't know about the bike.
+ASH_ RC8R It doesn't take a rocket surgeon or a brain scientist to figure out Chase knows very little about any of the bikes he's ridden on these "First Rides". He does have to take them back in one piece though and so I'd rather see him look like a dork than end up wrecking one.
"Can i two finger it? Yeah i can!"
+omar mohamed chaseontwowheels - 2015
+omar mohamed "This thing is soo slippery, I am just sliding up."
+omar mohamed "This thing is soo slippery, I am just sliding up."
+omar mohamed lol
my imagination just running wild
I think first rides would be better if chase did his research before prior to riding. This video made me cringe so much I couldn't get through it in its entirety. No hate Chase just take it as constructive criticism.
+Dejas Monroe On the upside, it shows you how intuitive the interface is (or isn't) for someone that already rides.
@obee270 well said
To everyone saying this bike is slow, I've seen the 1190 keep up with a gsxr-1000 in a straight line race, it's not slow by any means. That and it has a little over 170 horsepower to the rear wheel and 90 foot pounds of torque. It doesn't feel as fast because of the linear power band and the lower RPM redline (well lower than a lot of in line fours) it's hard to make a twin keep up with an inline 4 but KTM did it beautifully. That and I'd bet money a KTM rc8r would either out handle a Japanese 1000 or at least give it a run for it's money. Especially coming out of corners (being that it keeps its nose down a lot easier when you power out of corners) that's my two cents that no one probably cares about lol ;)
Oops I meant 170 to the crank not the wheel lol
Lmao that’s kind of a big difference.
Gsxr 1000 will destroy this
I've always liked those for some odd reason
+bakerXderek Yea it looks like it's one of those bikes where people love it or hate it. I think it's pretty bad ass as well sir.
+chaseontwowheels 2013 KTM look like it went go on the track lol
+bakerXderek Cheah!!!
+bakerXderek BakerxDickhead :D Luh you
+chaseontwowheels Can you do the ktm rc 390?
Says the bike is slow, barely gets it above idle for the whole video...
Great job
It has 1 mile on the odo...
@@dominikstork8365 That hasnt stopped him before on other bikes...
I've loved the rc8 since the day it was released. It was something completely innovative, no. brand tried this before. At the time it had the most hp. Unfortunately it felt behind, really really fast, it has only 170. It is still a sick looking bike.
It's awesome but idk about no brand trying it before.
Ducati Panigales, they make a 1299cc V-2
Aprilia RSV1000 racing V-2
The legendary Honda RC51 thoroughbred racing V-2
There's more, this bike is definitely cool though
It would be cool if you reviewed a KTM RC390!
+O Canada yes
+O Canada it's the same as the RC125. Cept with a bit more poke...
+blindingsun A lot more poke.
wouldn't go that far...
+O Canada I'd let him review mine if he wanted to come all the way to Missouri.
Twist the throttle and it will go.
The 1190 Adventure would probably put a big ol' smile on your face. Same motor, more comfortable, great handling.
+SJ Squirrel on point
It's a shame that they discontinued this bike
sad
Well ktm realizes that husqvarna and ktm are for dirt, they the best on dirt, but will never be the best on road
@@thunderthrustable except the duke 790, 890 and Superduke all the best in their class or thereabouts. 🙄
@@1250GSX I think This bike actually Handles Well. I got a R1M and this iis one of the few bikes I'd change the Yammy for. (bring on the critizisom for what I said). But I do like the way the bike handles, I Love the Looks, and I'm a fan of the Orange and color, etc. If I could find an used RC8R (like 2015 or so) I'd trade in the R1M.
@@commanderroddi7742 They are a great bike. Would have loved if they made a next generation of them with ABS, traction control etc. I noticed a lot of them I was following on IG ended up getting binned. You don't see many around today...
wow, you should do a little research before your first ride.
Manual? Pfft who needs to read that?
KTM RC8R 1190. This is one of the more comfortable liter bikes. Very adjustable. It doesn't have different engine maps, traction control, or abs. As an owner, I can tell you it doesn't need it because the torque and hp curve is very linear, which is deceptive and leaving you feeling it isn't fast but it is. Mine was dyno tested 151 rear wheel horsepower, which is similar to CBR and other bikes. Build quality is very good. WP suspension, Brembo monoblocks, and Marchesini wheels. Recommended mods: akrapovic race exhaust, tail tidy, and sutter slipper clutch.
Thanks C2W for do a first ride on my dream bike
I really want to demo one of these Home Depot bikes.
+DJ MotoVlogs I love when I take my rc390 to home depot
Enkountor You should park it right out front by the entrance. lol
Lol I recently brought a 2015 Superduke 1290 now when I go to Home Depot all I think about is the KTM colors 😂
TrigunVS haha
ride more ktm's ! sad that the mode wasnt found
Good job showing us the bike for the first time. Thanks.
badass!! kudos to the dealership for allowing you to
Can you ride the KTM RC 390 please.
^^
+manuel stahl I do everyday ;). I bet you he would love it.
#c2wfr Triumph Daytona 675 R
+imaniac8 Yes Please
+imaniac8 Triumph Daytona 675 R, the best bike ever :) I have one and I love it.
I don't ride my Honda VFR1200 Anymore. It is up for sale. I'm keeping my Triumph.
+E.S. BiH it is my dream bike dude. but i have to be 24 to ride 35kw+ bikes due to rules in my country
+gamer8680 trust me you will be thankful. more experience, cheaper insurance and just more "calm" in traffic. my younger friends have 600-1000 supersports and they ride sometimes like retards going 200km/h on 90kmh roads :p i started on 1400cc dropped to 800, then dropped to 600ish then down to 125 for transportation lol.
im heading towards a 300cc class next year.
bikes gives so much more risk and performance than cars, and sadly people under 25 can seldom handle themself on too powerful bikes.
not pointing out you ofc :)
TrueDesireHD yeah you have a good point. I know the waiting will be time spend well. But how dit you manage to start on a 1400cc?
Why are there sooo many haters saying that he does bad reviews. There not even reviews there just his first impressions on the bike and how it feels not a fucking big review about every little aspect of the bike. You cant ask for a full review on a bike that someone has only ridden for 20 minutes.
This bike is not intended for straights, take it round the bends for huge smiles. I own one since 2009. On track it's sharper than most and I haven't find another frame/suspension/engine combination that is as fun yet.
@9:22 I knew chases girl was telling him everything to say in this video
thats probably the best looking super sport i've seen so is it really 1190cc?? it looks way to small to be that big
A paper mache plane is a perfect way to describe its appearance lol. I'm a fan of it though
This is my dream bike since childhood.
go chase try the ktm 1290 superduke r
Re review this bike please
I agree with you that the bikes with more linear power bands don't feel as fast as the peaky powerbands.
Keep doing your thing man.
This is not a street bike. It's a track bike. Anyone with hopes for riding this on the street will be disappointed. Plus, it's a euro bike which means it's going to break a lot and cost you an arm and leg to get it fixed. No thanks.
#C2WFR BMW S 1000 RR
He has to do this one next!
+Alex MMA Chase is gonna forget all about Yamaha once he gets on a S1K
+Alex MMA Or a Hp4 as well.. Play with the cruise control, pitlane limiter and quickshifter~ BMW is dope!
Man that is one hell of a beautiful bike!
In love with your initial overview shots, man. This bike has a killer front end look to it. Great review. Keep up the good work.
Chase, a duke 390 would be a nice review.. Nice vid as always.
Namameees salu2 prrooooo✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Damn man, ROZ is the scale of which the octane number is read off. and 95 the octane number.
In europe we use the ROZ scale whereas the US uses the AON scale.
So the KTM needs ROZ 95 fuel which would be the equivanlent of your AON 90 fuel.
I don't think that the information the the display was saying anything about its power/mode.
Damn son you pro in cine matic shots of those sexy bikes
Plz, more KTM first rides!
If you think that the RC8 has no torque, power or whatever, PLEASE try KTM 1290 DUKE R. You'll find in that bike what you've been looking for. ;)
+Doc2Nu that would be my understanding
The motor is almost the same on both bikes
it could be almost the same but, the way that boths engines give you the power are completly diferent
I went to a superbike race and this was the loudest most annoying bike every time it went by. I'd see it coming and was like "Oh great here comes that loud obnoxious KTM". That being said, it was one of the faster bikes there.
That is one beautiful bike!
great! motorbike review meets driving around town... i want my time back...
Pls!!! trye any of 250/300 2t ENDUROS? :O
wow typical ktm rc bike 😍 looks damn sexy
Nice Video, that's one bike I've always wanted to ride
i actually like how we discover the bike along wit u :)
Honestly I've never been interested in the RC8 - I'm not a fan of the looks, from what I've seen, heard and read it doesn't appear to be as fast, comfortable or pratical as the competition but I will concede that it sounds amazing with an aftermarket pipe on.
Also, 'I've been chaseontwowheels...' < been watching some Smo vids have we? ;)
+Smo Always watching my some SMO ma man!
+Smo its a 2 cylinder so it sounds okay but not as good as other 2 cylinder bikes
+chaseontwowheels just looking at its stats, its definitely slow for an expensive supersport, it just seems to have a lot of torque
+Smo not as practical? It is practically a sports tourer, lol. Adjustable everything, built initially for a larger than japanese size market. Takes luggage well, can cruise and granted its not as quick as the ducats but still an awesome bike for the track or road.
+Wil Collins Sorry dude, guess I missed the cavernous space under the seat, there!
#C2WFR MV Agusta F3 675. I'm a Triumph guy but saw 1 and it look badass.
+Frank Torre the 800 triple MV has is so much better. I know, I've got one.
+aaron smith Well it was a 675 ABS I saw and it seemed pretty nice. What's the 800 ride like? Thinking of getting another bike for a drift bike alone.
+Frank Torre It's a great motor with an awesome powerband, like if the fz09 lived up to the hype. It can rev to the ceiling and there's always power, but the main portion of the torque does come on pretty abruptly. Also, there's like no aftermarket support for them.
+aaron smith Thanx for the info and your incite. I'm gonna have to think about it. Got three bikes in mind the R6, Speed Triple R and Agusta F3 675 or 800. As for aftermarket parts I'm sure Roaring Toyz has something, besides maybe extended swing arms.
It looks so unique! Has a nice look to it.
gahhhh that's absolutely gorgeous right there. dang..
Your review about bikes is wrong because you are talking about while riding it for first time you need to introduce your self to it then you judge it
its a review in the form of what you think riding it, not staring and listing specs the whole time
AT 4:30 HAD LEFT TURN BLINKER ON FOREVER, then turns right with it still on lol. Most nerve racking person to ride behind
i like how you have the seadoo jetskii's on the background at the beginning! very nice!
You have the best job in the world
Never review a phone, ok?
+SuperstarPecanbar unless they put two wheels on it I don't really see that happening.
@@chaseontwowheels I really like your style as it's random just like life !! So please do your reviews like you do them, They are truly awesome brother 🙌 😍😍🤩
please ride the KTM super duke 1290...plsssss chase...I would like to see your review..
Shashank Bhagwat same here!
Honestly this is one of my favourite looking bikes there's something about I just can't put my finger on
My favorite bike ever
ktm seats are the worst...couldn't last any more than 45 minutes on the 500exc on street before my ass was dying..
in listening to your review and having just read up on the duke 1290, they're not exactly tuned down for usability but they are smoothed out with some ktm black magic or something. It's austrian which, like german engineering is ALWAYS over-engineered. And another part of the smooth power deliver could be the 2 cylinders and firing pattern. I had an older ducati which had a very smooth power delivery and it was explained to me that it was because of the pause between cylinders firing vs. say an inline 4 with an even 180 degree firing pattern which has a lot less time between power strokes.
We have 3, my ass got harder before i found a decent softer seat. Finally found one but too late, "simple"
The only ktm bikes that are comfortable are the 900+ cc dukes...
"We're going 60!? When the hell did that happen?" hahahah I think I've uttered something along those lines going home from work before. Great.
Yes! Try more KTM's allredy broke in and ask some one to figure out the proper settings. Right on Chase. Thank you.
that beautiful bike is my dream bike
Dang that shnazzy intro took my breath away *o*
And then I started thinking about how many angles you must've had to film the bike from and what that must've looked like and I just started laughing xD
That thing and most of the KTM Super Sport range are track bikes that have been made road legal. I think would be the best way to describe the KTM Super Sport line.
I always thought this was a crazy awesome looking bike
Easily one of the best motorcycles on the market - at least in terms of looks haha. I've never actually ridden one, but I'd buy it on the looks alone. :D
sounds so freakin awsm even with original exhaust. Just came from R1 Review and this one here is so much better what da fuq
for anybody wondering, during the break in don't go over 1/2 throttle until 500 miles (800km) and keep it under 3/4 throttle until 1000 miles to preserve the integrity of those highly engineered brand new internals
The RC8 is definitely a niche bike seems like its got character. If you could get a hold of a duke 390 or and RC390 that would make for a great first ride video.
That thing is beautiful.
Such a beautiful looking bike!
you should do a first ride on the ktm super duke
More KTM! I would love to see a first ride on a 690 Duke.
Hey man.. try riding the junior sibling of RC8 -> RC 390.. You gonna love that bike..
Wow she looks great
Them camera tricks are dope..
Is a lovely bike, not sure if you catch the worlds greatest motorcycle journeys on the travel channel, but Henry Cole did a tour through Germany / Austria on one of these and held it in high regard. Not a conventional tourer by any means but apparently comfortable enough.
'and no baron i'm not talking about you' hopefully he watches your vids : D
deff a sick looking bike!!!
You should ride the KTM 690 DUKE. That is going to be my first bike next summer when I get my motorcycle license.
I have a KTM RC 200...after a few hours my ass demands pain killers 😂😂
my dream bike
Need more KTM
yes boy!! buth i still waiting for that ebr test drive
I saw the other video with the 2K14 Honda CBR 600 double R, and then went over to this video, in the background i can see the Honda xD haha
Such a beautiful bike :O
Great content, looking to get a 250 for my first bike. I love your channel, keep up the great work. subscribed
c2w you have try smaller cc segments once in a while. beginners like me will be more pleased to see you try out smaller segment motorcycles. please do more KTM c2wfr. try a Duke 390. I personally own a Duke 390. and would love to see your thoughts on the bike. :)
MORE KTM!!!!
Love the first ride vids - keep em' coming!
This is more of a First Impression series than reviews.
+Jason Stroman Yep, that's why they are called "First Rides" and not Review. =)
***** I was responding to the overwhelming comments complaing about the lack of detail.
That thing is sick
My dream bike :)
First, I should say I'm not trying to be a prick about this, but would like to offer some constructive criticism.
1) Make a checklist of features you want to cover in any review, and familiarize yourself with those features before you begin the review.
2) Understand the purpose of the bike. What type of riding is the manufacturer targeting with this machine? E.g., don't review a Hayabusa from the point of view that it should function like a supersport (as you have done). That's not to say you shouldn't make comparisons; they're useful as a reference point. But try to put yourself in a potential buyer's shoes. Understand that it's valid for them to have a different set of requirements for their ride than your own personal requirements, and try to evaluate it from that point of view as much as possible. I'm not saying that you don't understand this, but your comments regarding the 'busa overwhelmingly focused on the difference between it and what you mostly ride for yourself.
Some quotes from the video and my responses:
"Guys, if this bike has different modes, it's hard to figure out and I don't know how to do that."
Seriously?? Are you familiar with the acronym "RTFM"? No need to read the entire thing, but at least spend a few minutes familiarizing yourself with the features you plan to touch on during the review. Not only is it a waste of viewer time, but it's an added distraction from the road while you're riding. It also leads to ignorant comments like the following one...
"Now you have the knowledge that the KTM RC8 mode selector is hard to use."
Says the guy who put exactly zero effort into preparing to ride the bike. Not exactly a useful reference point for someone who's looking to purchase the motorcycle and will actually take a few minutes to research before riding.
"It's not as high speed as I expected it to be."
This, you say, after having acknowledged that it's stuck in a low power engine mode. O_O
All that said, I do appreciate you putting your impressions out here for us all. Everyone's opinion is a valid data point, and you've added to the knowledge base.
Engine mapping selection is for different octane fuel in the bike.
I love this bike
"You want to clean your bike.. just rev the hell out of it" 😂😂😂😂😂
my mate has one. he had to get bar end mirrors haha looks real nice with them too
