Seeing one of these beauties in person is like seeing a unicorn for the very first time... They are super rare dude.. You don’t see them on ur everyday bike or car ride down the street.. The KTM RC8 has always been my #2 dream bike along side the BMW HP4 Race. Great video.👌🏽
always? they just came out with them...
okay so im going to correct myself... they originally did come out in 2008... and were in production til 2015... which is why i said what i did.... as far as i understood, the new ones they are releasing were the only RC8's...
Bruh i just saw one yesterday in the netherlands man that sound😍
@@vyzixn5937 Yeah they are sweet as hell dude.😩
Really ? They look cool was always under the impression they were a cheap bike to beat up and toss but then again the only ktm's I ever see around are dirt bikes here and there at the track second to a bmw? Might have to look into one maybe they moved up like Kia interesting
That KTM is a "purist": not a single eletronic assistance, only driver's experience.
Your S 1000 RR is what I called "friendly" bike. Despite the specs, it's very easy to drive and humble. It's a good thing changing the driving experience once and a while
Good call wearing earplugs. Even with a stock exhaust the wind noise will still get you. Once I got used to them, I found I was way less fatigued after riding. It makes it easier for me to focus on what I’m doing too! Thanks for sharing the RC8 feeling too. Always been one of those bikes I’ve wanted to experience. 🙂
You are right❗👍
a good helmet makes a massive difference to wind noise as well.
How do so many people complain about wind noise with a full face helmet? Are you wearing no name ebay helmets or something? I have a scorpion and it doesn't even have wind noise with vents open.
@@crzyruskie86 bro rides a 20cc moped 💀with even the top-tier arai's you will still get ear damaging wind noise at speeds of 60mph+
I just gotta say.... I always LOVE that intro of yours!!! So perfect! the music, the shots and the duration doesnt make you feel like you have to wait forever for it to finish! Keep up the great vids brotha! yeee
I have the new, race only RC8C and its neat to see the RC8R which shares the KTM "heritage". These analog twins are some of the purest form of riding you can experience. If possible, take the RC8R on track and compare with the other literbikes, that's where the experience really comes to life. 🙌
what a bike!! 40,000!?
how the engine feel? i hear they re used and tuned an engine they already used in a previous bike?
i just got a mint condition 2010 RC8R and am in LOVE.
The point of the rc8 is for the experience not a bunch of electronics riding the bike for you
Eletronics are riding the bike with you not for you.
They're basically reading your inputs and giving you what you actually want and are trying to do.
But electronics aside, I don't like V twins on superbikes. They feel clunky and clumsy. I can't stand previous panigales for that reason either, even though they have pretty advanced electronics. I even had a 2015 1299 and I hated it.
But I understand some people like to wrestle their bikes to submission, so to each their own.
Yep like the good old days!
Bike's I would LOVE to see
-GXSR for sure!
-Busa
-Ninja 400! Honestly, I would love to see Kay ride these!
i agree
Yes
and this !!! ruclips.net/video/YoI3pLr2LtY/видео.html
cbr1000rr and rrr :D
You name a busa😐...but then right under it you say a ninja 400😑....Damn , you might as well just say you wanna see kay roll down the street on a damn razor scooter.🛴
Dude rides nothing but FAST sport bikes... Doubt you’ll get that “wish” ever...🤷🏽♂️
You really showed your incompetence with this one well done
electronics rider lol
He can't even shift without a shifter lulz
@@TomTom-gx1sm right lol 😂
I own an RC8R, such a pure riding experience.
This guy needs to learn to ride. Locking the rear on downshifts.... can't rev match.
@@mitchellgodkin6102 I have a 2010 RC8, it's taught me a new found respect for bikes I've not had since I first started riding 🤣
As an owner of this bike it's very different indeed. If you were to ride it for about a week you will get used to it's quirkiness. Love the torque and the unique look. I love this bike because of the fact no one is scratching at the bit to get them like R6's, R1's, BMW's, etc. This is more of a big V2 than a "liter" bike although it is an 1190. KTM got out of the super bike game a long time ago for the street. They do make a track version of this bike. The Super Duke 1290R is an animal! Nice review!
To everyone That’s struggling in life: everything will be okay 😄 you mean the world to people and you are Amazing no matter what people say 🙏🏼😊
appreciate the words big man
needed this
thank you so much i’ve been working at a job i hate just to fund what i love and recently it’s been a real struggle.. thank you i needed to hear that
Bet it's just got likes
Appreciate it, you too!!
I feel you bro on Tinnitus, I also developed it in my left ear about 6 years ago after many loud meets and shows etc.. It takes a huge toll on you dies to the non-stop ringing/running water sounds ( for me ). It never goes away for me but become more manageable over time, but I do have to have constant sound to drown mine out, like a fan/ tv/ music.
Hope everything gets better for you!
Love the Bikes!!
I‘m pretty sure there’s medication for it, isn‘t there? Correct me if I‘m wrong though I just thought we learned about it in school
@@wildwaters8348 yes and no sadly. There are so called treatments/ medications to help with Tinnitus, but they are only treatments that can help mitigate the ringing/whooshing sounds. For some they may help but the majority of people who suffer from it constantly every day will learn to cope/mitigate the intensity on there own, even after seeking treatment.
For me personally I found that over time ( not with help of medications )my brain has learned to tone it down over time. I still deal with every day, but its at a 4/10 intensity instead of a 10/10 from which the first 6 months of having it was like and sometimes I get spells where the Tinnitus ramps for a day or 2. I still have to drown it out while at home / sleeping with fans/TV and when I'm out and about, the wind from riding and just the outside noise is calming in a weird way.
I'm hoping to try a special hearing aid soon to help increase my hearing which the louder sound from regular hearing also helps in training your brain. They are expensive if you truly want a quality aid.
@@DeViLsDoNuTz ah ok thank you for the explanation! I hope you can get one of those hearing aids ☺️
+1 with years of very loud custom sound systems in my cars and riding motorcycles without ear plugs for 18 yrs a perfect recipe for the lovely tinnitus i got 😔
Feel your pain same issues here all though I believe it could be from I.E.d blast and tons of different rounds being fired next to my dome fun but not lol worst part is the dizzy feeling that comes along with it where you cant get out of bed for days I cant even hear my bike sucks but hey everyone else says its loud asf 😂
Crazy video kay ! This is like one of my dream bikes ! Much love and appreciate
I like that it doesn't have many electronics. I have a 1998 Honda VFR V4 (Gen 5) no ABS, analogue gauges, no o2, no cats, none of that. Super basic EFI system for the time (one of the first for the brand) and man lemme tell you...it feels so cool! the KTM is def awesome looking. Would love to try out one day.
i have a 97 vfr myself and love it too, plenty of gauges but all analogue
That’s dope I love those VFR’s
@@Shadow0fd3ath24 Love the VFRs, its a cult almost. Haha, I just took mine on a 500 mile trips, nothing but smiles.
Mine had 178k miles lmao gotta love gear driven cams
Thats why i love mine, you can actually pick up time on the nanny bikes when the nannies kick in and pull back power. With the rc8r you can just keep putting power down.
I think the reason its a good race bike is cause its torquey and prioritises cornering.
And the fact it has no electronics makes it have a more manual meaning it has a special kinda feeling to it.
Yepp i agree with this. No traction control, no abs no assist just pure race bike. Instant torque no delays, whatever pull you give to the throttle just instant torque. Flickable as hell . Want to ride one someday
@@kuroneko-_5570 Definitely!
abs + quickshifter + slipper clutch should be okay tho
Thats the reason... Why it over revs
ImKay to me sounded like he was spoiled with electronics, ABS, TC etc. and not sure if was complaining with the lack of it on the RC8R. the RC8R sounds raw, is raw and the rider is left only depending on their riding ability, skills on top of a speed machine -as it should be.
I have the KTM RC8 2015 for the last 4 yrs and believe me its a pretty bike, you just need to gotta get use to it to enjoy it. If you’re a person like me who like raw everything then its for you my friend
One good looking detail about it, is the orange frame, the combination of color makes her (the bike) stand out.
The engine performance could be better, but having no electronics you can actually control the engine as you want (or can).
Maybe the display could be better, i mean 1195 cc and it looks like an Atari Arcade Game.
I know it’s strange being called the rc8 but it’s actually 1195cc (superduke engine) and that’s just the KTM display of that time period
@@TommyM4 You are right, sorry my bad.
Bro this bike from 2015, what do u expect? U cant compair a 2022 with a 2015 lmao
@@vibinlikeafish A Kawasaki from 2013 have more electronics than this ktm lol.
Kay's R1M is also a 2015 model but it has way more electronics than the RC8.
@@deathtomorons9388 What are you sticking to this motorcycle with such negativity. It's just not your bike. Yes, it is not for racing in a straight line. And to drive it you need skills and balls of steel.)
Nice vid bro, not much content on these bikes. They are pretty much a collectors item these days, still sick AF though. I'm throwing my votes in for next bike vids; Rocket 3, FTR and Busa 🤙🤙🤙
Haha, I love your honesty. "sounds like a 300 or 400"
That's what I always think as well when hearing the KTM bikes. The 1290r for example with an austin racing pipe sounds good no doubt, however, my inner city coffee shop cb300f sounds very similar lol.
The 690 Duke and higher sound pretty good tho, ngl
no shit its a V twin engine bike
Twin parallel sounds like that
I wouldn't change the sound of 3-4 cylinders to any of them
then your ride your 300 and get passed by a honda accord
as a ktm owner i can tell: controlling a V2 with this much cc is hard. especially in corners. but once you learned it you can easily master any 3 or 4 cyl.
And the wabbling and the fishtailing comes from the torque thats like already 100NM around 3000 rpm lol
MAYBE the old V2s... Current V2 like "our" 1290s are tame as a kitten... I heard the old 990 Duke was a bit of a diva that way, but the current LC8 is perfectly docile...
@@mcbrite glad mines a gen 1 rc8r :D
@@liamvickerman4745 That one is a little more raw, I suppose?
@@mcbrite I wouldn't know I hadn't rode any other gens, had an rsv4 for a few days the RC8R is way more fun on the road!
Didn't know this bike existed, instantly on my list. I love KTM and this one might be the coolest i've seen yet
Decibullz makes a great set of moldable earplugs. The most effective earplugs I've found to date. RC8 definitely stands out in a crowd 🤙
I have an 1190 RC8R 2015 as well. It’s my first bike and I can say that the torque is terrifying
Do you have a tune and pipe on yours. I describe mine as it is always trying to kill me and you have to keep that in the back of your mind.
@@floridarx7 that’s exactly what I think every time I turn the bike on 😂 I have a power commander V, jester exhaust, Stage 2 SAS and canister delete, Rottweiler intake, and a quick shifter
@CIA same as mine. But no quickshifter no power commander. Just tune ecu with the akra map.
I love these longer videos🥰🤩😝 Keep it up bro
Best part of no quick shifter is doing it all yourself. Much more fun. I daily ride and at this point I cant even feel my downshifts with rev matching and my clutchless upshifts are incredibly fast. All in good practice! I can hold a very smooth fast pace on analog bikes, and GP shift makes it even more interesting! haha
Dude yeah I just got my first bike with a quick shift and it’s really only a tiny bit more efficient at shifting. Clutchless upshifts are pretty simple. I just wish I had autoblip downshifts so I could front brake and clutch lees downshift a bit easier
i absolutely love my 2015 and so does anyone that sees it for the first time. such an amazingly vicious bike, its never leaving my collection!!! she sits next to my 2003 honda rc51
I sold my rc51 to buy my house, i will have another. The rc8r will never leave.
Dude thats Hella nice great video like always
That high speed wobble though I could'nt imagine it without the steering stabilizer.
the thing about the faulty engine code im assuming is that the m1000rr when you first start it up when cold its got the high rpm to get the oil flowing faster and it locked the throttle so you wont cause any accidental wear in the engine thats my best guess for that one and if its not thats kind of a problem for a 37000$ machine from bmw lol. Edit: why are his shorts string so long? 🤣 4:14
Sounds about right have plenty experience as a bmw mechanic if it's anything like the cars it will go in to a limp mode and reduce power until it hits its happy temp almost picked up the m1000 a few weeks ago and had to check myself there beautiful but I dont need another headache so went with another cbr 1000rr cant go wrong
I couldn't take those guys serious once I seen those shorts.
I'm glad to *hear* that you're taking care of yourself and of your ears! What earplugs do you use, any specific Db rating or brand? How's the ambient noise like cars, horns, or sirens with your plugs?
hello there I am a rider from the philippines! been a fan man since last yr. If you're gonna visit here in the philippines let's go in the track!! ride safe bro!
you never fail to entertain us , Keep up the good content.
Could you take some of your bikes to a runway and do some dragraces/ top speed runs? Love ur viss btw
not fans of ktm but i actually haved the chance to seen a 2023 with only 200km this week (only 2 run in quebec) the sound is unreal how its amazing especially in cold start :D
KTM has been around a long time but they’ve only really started picking up market in the last 2 - 3 years. They’ve up’d their quality and performance to be on par with the other mainstream manufacturers. And they’re killing it in MotoGP this year.
4 th in the constructors standings is not killing it
@@alanh5348 considering how long they’ve only been in the game compared to everyone else… I’d say they’re doing a damn good job
First video i've seen of yours and wow the intro quality !
Im not the biggest fan of Ktm as well.
I rode the Triumph Speed Triple RR recently and thought you might like it.
I was blown away by the looks and the performance.
I would love to see you on ne of these.
Definitely need to see him on a triple.. MV Agusta Rush 1000 would be wild and also unique
Really? I was so excited when the speed triple was first announced. 180HP on a triple sounds so mental. But man, I was disappointed after riding one. It feels so docile and bland, and it's actually pretty slow for 180HP. I wonder how much is actually in the wheel.
Great video btw love this ktm and the m1000 ofc
Thank you for talking about ear plugs
Just started riding alway wear my ear plugs. Wind noise is really bad 😊
Waiting for this video since you uploaded the reel😍
I love you watching your vids bro. You're my inspiration to grind and buy a superbike someday.
Seeing you test unique bikes it would be awesome if you tried an mv agusta f3 or f4 next :)
I purchased my Panigale from Maali Motorsports in February!! Super happy with their customer service and attentiveness to the transaction! I still hit up Shahin every month or so to check on their inventory!
I love the white orange combination.
I love this channel so much, I love bikes so much and I want one so bad and these videos make me CREAM!!
12:21 this is literally my first time watching you shift without a quick shifter
you don't have to use the clutch when shifting. quick shifter only means you don't have to lift of the throttle. it don't actually change anything about the shifting itself. you can be your own quick shifter by backing of the throttle when up shifting and then blip the throttle on down shifts
🤩🤩That 1990 invisible screen is awesome KTM made my day in 2024 lol
My man Maali! Haha, quite unique fella. Amazing collection of bikes. Much love brother. -David.
Please do a review of the superduke, would really like to hear your opinion on it
You should try the Ducati 1098S or 1198S. Similar power with no rider aid. It would be interesting to compare since you just rode that
I've seen this bike in person with a red bull livery it turns heads for sure
Would love to see you try both the R3 and the R7! Just for fun :D
I was kinda wondering why you hadn't ridden the rc8 yet but it great to see you on it
Torque monster without any electronic 🔥
This shit is too funny I just got done watching your last H2 video and literally heard you talk about this bike and not 5 minutes after I finished I get the noti that you uploaded the RC8 vid.
@Ganpura for real dude
I had a rc8 back in the day and used it as a track bike. If was underpowered but great in corners and late braking
lets go always love the first ride vids, you know we need more of this lol
I love watching your sportsbike Vlog. I wish im a little bit tall to ride them without back and shoulder pain 😂
This is literally my dream bike 😭I wish I could even test ride it
next time try ktm superduke 1290 r evo i really wanna hear your opinion on it, ktm rc8r is like too outdated from the current gen bikes and don't have the new techs and etc, but its unique, so try superduke 1290r evo next time and share your thoughts, Ride Safe🏍🤙
I hope u gonna do some V4R vids soon cuz i miss that bike
Sound of this bike is awesome
Biggest fan Powamoto in d house bringing thumbs ups to u 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🦾🤟rising my dude
Its a must collection kay you need to get that into your garage.
What a awesome!!!! bike I drive Also ktm superduke 990 with full akra and no cat its Fr**kin amazing the sound people looks from far v2 power 😍😍😇 I LOVE KTM And A GREAT VIDEO THANKS
of all the brands I thought you'd have issues with the UI, didnt expect it to be a KTM🤣🤣
Yo Kay I’ve been watching for a couple years now man your awesome… you need to ride a newer hayabusa and the older ones and see if you could tell a difference in how they perform
Awesome vid man. I personally would also never buy a KTM but it was great to see. Cool to hear your experience with something different since you have basically have all leader bikes. More of this please :D

Yoo that’s my work right there so I have seen you around sick!
Kayy KTM super Duke 1290 review please
i would really like to see you try the gsxr and the mt09 i heard they’re super fun
Finally the rc8r vlog
THANK YOU FOR READING THE COMMENTS AND GIVING US WHAT WE WANT TO SEE!
Ive come to realize that ktm js like a different breed, the way they make their clutch is just different
I've had this engine in my 1190 Adventure R, and that bike , with TC off, Akra exhaust, race air filter and map, felt like a totally brutal bike. The RC8R is one of the best looking bike IMHO, but like all KTM's, especially the new ones, their stock exhaust and maps ruin all the brutal engine characteristics. They have tried to make those engines less and less vibrating and comply with regulations, they've lost a lot of their aggressive nature. Good for V4 lovers I guess, but I prefer the feeling when my fingers tingle after a ride due to vibrations. I don't know if this RC8R had TC, but the way you applied throttle, normally you should have done several wheelies... that engine lifted my 240 KG Adventure R NO problem.... and this RC8R is MUCH lighter :)
Cool bike, haven't seen ine of those in years. Sounds just like the typical LC8 powered Super Duke.
Imkay what brand of gloves are those you rock you havent told me yet i had a chance to buy one new in 2009 but i got a great deal on on a new 2007 zx10 ninja plasma blue i always loved the look of the rc8 how much are the asking for it
Ha! Maali Motorsports isn't too far my house! 👍👍 Another great video!
The low fuel notification sticking on is a KTM thing; they all do that sir.
It does go away after a while but it's definitely something you have to get used to!
You should test drive an older rc8r, like 2009-10 with an exhuast. More aggresive and fun, never seen this wobbling on my old rc8r or other´s i have driven.. Love these bikes. 👌
So do all KTMs have only 2 cylinders or just that one? And what is their highest cc bike? I love the unique look of them and that orange but performance wise they seem to be lacking.
I saw one in person and I was like wtf this bike is 🔥
really like this bike🔥🔥
i saw one in person for the first time, so insane
H2r or rc8
Which one is your favourite..?
Still in love with the intro tho🔥🥃…ktms 🔥
RIDE A GIXXER its one of my fav bike and seeing my fav youtuber rider riding it and reviewing be cool ngl
wow... you got hearing problem ? it's good for you dude. now you got to feel how other people feel after hearing your bike speeding on the street
My friend told me that he got problem with his BMW S1000RR with its throtle sensor. Is it happening to your bike as well?
modern bikes don't need warming up they use hypereutectic pistons that have 16% of silicon in them basically there is no thermal expansion. Just don't redline it from cold since the oil has to make it's way around the engine (first 20 to 30 seconds)
Would be cool to see you teat out other bikes that are smaller for beginner recommendations
The old light in bmw RR1000 was better more than the new one you do to your bike🙂🙂
The reason it doesn't have electronics is because its a focused track bike that you can ride on the street, not the lther way around like most bikes. The electronics in 2015 on motorcycles weren't good enough for track riding like they are now. They were too intrusive, and slow. I ride my 14 superduke with all the rider aids turned off because its a better experience.
That color is so nice.
nice ride man
Definitely sounds like a V2 and not a 300. If you want to hear a stock exhaust that sounds like a 300 look at a mt09
Thats it bro we are waiting for this bike.......... At last 😭😭😫
