KTM RC8 Test Ride, SoCal
Attention all members. My wife and I took a ride today and ended up at Mission Motorsports in Irvine.
They are having a Test Ride on the KTM RC8 on December 14, 10AM to 3PM. KTM is bringing in a truckload of RC8's. You are required to be 25 or older and have a current motorcycle endorsement on your driver's license. I'll be there for sure.

Take pictures!
I saw one at Deal's Gap back in September- sickening like when I first saw a Desmo.
I'll give a negotiable amount of money to the first person that shows picture proof whilst lofting the front end (not a little power wheelie, I'm talkin big air) on the demo ride.
Say $5 from me. Anybody else want to contribute?

See my last post on the "no power wheelie?" thread.
I will however take pictures of killemall lofting it, if he choses to do so. Shouldn't be hard with 135hp and 75 foot pounds torque. Although I think I recall the "Motorcyclist" article in November saying that forward weight bias tends to keep the front end down.

So who went and rode the RC8 on the 13th or the 14th? What did you think? Here are my thoughts on from when I rode it at the LB Bike show on the 7th...
