RC8-Which Colour

Captain Pugwash · Jan 20, 2008

I've got an orange RC8 on order,but can still change the colour if I want to.

I'm starting to think I like the white more.

What do you guys reckon ?

No clever comments please,just answer orange or white.

orange.

Orange for two reasons:

it's a KTM
white bikes are usually Police bikes (and have poor residuals)
It looks in white

Gotta be white

White, cos 99% of the others will be orange.

Thats genuine.. :thumb2

Also resale price will be better for you in a few months.
I am JOKING about that bit Martyn. :augie

Much prefer the white as well. Had a good look around the two at the NEC and although they both look stunning, the white just pips it. Bit of exclusivity as well, as proff says.

What about the pipes, is there a dealer fitted Akra option?

WHITE

Gotta be the white. Its definitely gonna be the colour. The Orange may work for the off road bikes but the white looks better for their sport bike.
848 and Fireblade in white at the NEC looked good too

Oh , and its definitely a colour thats on the up in the car fraternity as well as bikes.

There will be,though not yet listed in the Powerparts catalogue.

This was the one fitted to the bike in Milan :

But it doesn't look to have the removavble baffle option so there may well be two versions.

But it does look better than standard :

and saves about 8 kgs as well,plus the NOISE !!!

All KTMs should be orange but white does look pretty good.

Yeah, white

The only thing about white being suddenly all the rage is that is may become very not the rage. Thats sounded :ymca

.

Anyway, white, no question.

PS-was it you had the KTM 200 or 250 for sale and is it sold?

Its all white

Never had a litre sports bike but would love to have a go on an RC8. Couldn't believe how comfy it was and would definitely have one in my dream garage.

But my DREAM Dual Sport bike for my dream garage has to be one of these beautiful creations.. FAB!

And alongside it I would want my dream back road bike;

And my dream off road bike;

Its nice to dream

Not in 2008 !

But they did have a 'black' bike at the show which was being used to showcase the accessories such as the Akra pipe and some of the carbon bits that will be available.

I didn't really like it,and the carbon had a very strange look to it :
