RC8 is Go

[Jonny_L]

The thing is,it really is very comfortable and adjustable.

You certainly don't get any wrist or neck ache like you do on all the others such as Blades/ZX10s/R1s etc.

Only the BMW HP2 Sports seems to be as accomodating,but it costs £4000 more.


I'm planning on taking the RC to the Le Mans MotoGP in May and then the Millau Bridge/Tarn Gorge in June so will report back once my bike is run in and has stretched it's legs properly off island.

Good stuff, I'd be really interested at how it is at touring. All that adjustability must make it pretty bearable. I'll most likely be at le mans too

I'll spot you if I follow the crowds, you'll probably get mobbed for turning up on that

Best you don't ride one then Nick !

With the bars on the high position and the seat and pegs on the low setting (as the bike is delivered in 'Road' mode) the bike is as accommodating as any sports tourer.

Had a sit on a nice orange one at Pand H in crawleyReally amazing looking bit of kit. I loved the way you can adjust everything to make it fit you and become YOUR bike!! I'm 6foot 6 and it felt roomy and not like any pocket rockett I'd sat on before .Loads of nice engineering touches and cant wait till its avaiable as a demo .Arsey 8 I envy you!!
