KTM superbike launches next week

Will it be a 1200?

KTM is to launch the production version of its RC8 spoerts bike next week (from October 29) a whole four years after the first concept machine - a litre-class V-twin was shown.

The company has kept a lid on its offering, though it has released this pic of the new dash - the other pic is an early prototype.

Of most interest is whether the company is taking advantage of new superbike class rules which allow a 1200 twin.

It seems logical the company would, leaving the door open to go racing.

Superbikes may be coming in for a bit of a resurgence, with BMW and MV Agusta also expressing interest in the class.

We'll bring you more on the RC8 as it comes to light.
