Ktm Rc 8
The Ktm Rc 8 has a top speed of 270 km/h, produces 155 hp and weighs 189 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
KTM RC8は、KTM初の専用スーパーバイクとして2008年に発表されました。エンジンスペシャリストのKiska Designと共同で開発された1148ccのVツインエンジンを搭載しています。日本やイタリアのスーパーバイクに代わる、オーストリア独自の代替品として注目されました。インラインフォーが主流だったクラスで、独特なVツインのキャラクターが特徴です。その後、2009年には RC8R バリアントが改良され、サスペンションが改良されてパワーが向上し、2013 年頃まで生産が続けられ、生産は中止されました。

購入者が知っておくべきこと
V-Twin Power Plant
The RC8 features a 1148cc V-twin engine producing around 155hp, offering a raw, aggressive power delivery unlike the inline-4 rivals of its era. This unique character makes it a standout collector piece today.
Watch the Cooling System
Known weak points include the water pump and radiator hoses, which can develop leaks over time — inspect these carefully on any used example. Regular coolant flushes are essential to prevent overheating damage.
Strong Collector Resale
Production of the RC8 ended in 2013, making clean, low-mileage examples increasingly rare and desirable among collectors. Well-maintained bikes have held or slightly appreciated in value compared to similar-era sportbikes.

"生々しく、暴力的で、素晴らしい。でも神よ、あなたの手首を助けてください。"
RC8は、最初の起動時に拳のようにぶつかります。1148ccのVツインは怒っているように聞こえます。ゴロゴロとパチパチという音は、日本のスーパーバイクに比べると無菌のように聞こえます。サーキットでは、シャシーは第一世代のマシンとしては非常にコミュニケーションがとれています。従来のフォークを通してフロントタイヤが何をしているのかを正確に感じることができますが、実際には仕様が示すよりもうまく機能します。ストリートライディングでは、妥協が積み重なってきます。スポーツバイクの基準から見てもライディングポジションはアグレッシブで、モーターからの熱で交通量の多い太ももの内側が焼け、アイドル状態の燃料補給はスローコーナーで席を外すほど急激です。KTMには本物の才能がありましたが、本物の粗さもありました。電子パッケージが薄く、製造品質に一貫性がなく、初期のバイクではスロットルボディに問題があり、ディーラーの注意が何度も必要でした。

"A raw, rewarding track tool that demands respect and maintenance money."
$6,000-$10,500 usedThe RC8 is one of those bikes that rewards experienced riders who know what they're getting into. KTM built this thing to be a proper track weapon, and it shows — the 1148cc V-twin absolutely lunges forward in the mid-range, and the chassis balance is genuinely telepathic once you're comfortable. It's not trying to be a friendly all-rounder, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. Here's what nobody tells you upfront: maintenance costs will humble you. The desmo-adjacent valve checks, the aggressive service intervals, and the general KTM dealer network lottery mean you need a good independent mechanic or serious DIY skills. Check the service history religiously — skipped maintenance on these is a dealbreaker, full stop. Look for frame sliders and evidence of track use, and inspect the throttle bodies carefully. That said, when everything's right, the RC8 feels like nothing else at this price point used. It's raw, communicative, and brutally fast in a way that modern electronics-heavy bikes simply aren't. Buy it with your eyes open.
