KTM RC8 spy shots revealed

Venom test bike very close to prototype

A pre-production version of KTM's new RC8 twin-cylinder road bike, otherwise known as the Venom, has been snapped in Austria by Motorcyclists-Online and reveals the final machine will be faithful to the original prototype.

The 1199cc V-twin will be eligible for superbike racing if the factory can find the funds, and is slated for release in the 2009 model year.
