Video: 2008 KTM RC8 - it was worth it

KTM already produces decent V-twin powered bikes in the shape of the 990SM and the Super Duke but these aren’t machines burdened with the ‘tag’ of Superbike like the new RC8.

So after four years of development will it live up to expectations and be able to compete against its rivals?
