The KTM 1190 RC8 is a supersport bike made by KTM. The now highly collectable first generation 2008 model had a 1,148 cc (70.1 cu in) V-twin engine and was the Austrian manufacturer's first-ever Superbike design. The RC8 model was supplemented with RC8 R models one year later in 2009 and the RC8 designation had its last year of production in 2010. Models from 2009 through to 2013 use a 1,195 cc (72.9 cu in) V-twin engine with a twin spark per cylinder head and 2mm oversize piston. It is believed fewer than 1000 RC8 and RC8 R motorcycles were produced.
The KTM RC 8C is a limited-edition, track-focused supersport motorcycle made since 2022 designed purely for track days and racing.
It's powered by a potent 889 cc parallel-twin engine, derived from KTM's LC8c platform, producing about 128 hp.
It’s extremely light, featuring a high-strength steel trellis frame with a upgraded chassis similar to that of the 2022 RC16, making it very agile in the corners.
It's equipped with fully adjustable WP APEX PRO suspension components, similar to what's used in professional racing, and high-performance Brembo Stylema brakes for superior stopping power.
