KTM has already pre-sold 180 of the 350 RC8’s destined to come to the UK.

The motorcycle has been causing quite a stir since it was introduced last year so it is no surprise it is selling well.

MCN Road tester Trevor Franklin even went as far as saying the RC8 is as good as the Honda Fireblade and better than the Ducati 1098 after he rode it at the KTM launch in Ascari, Spain.

Spokesman Ross Walker says. The first deliveries of the bike to showrooms are scheduled to take place next weekend, with a dealer launch event at Silverstone in the cards for late March.
