No, they would probably fuck it up like the rest of their current line up.
Yes sir, that was me who noticed the crooked handle bars. I'm glad you actually paid attention and corrected the problem. Looks nice and even and aligned now.

What's more? I did a bit of a search and watched this other moto vlog and it seemed to me his handlebars were in the same state. The only difference being I did not tell him after I noticed the vid was from 3 yrs ago. Factory defect you ask? I'm not sure but how did your bolt get bent in the first place? Did you buy your bike new?

@@OneZoNinja Yes could be a factory issue. As to how my bolt got bent, is beyond me. It’s a very skinny screw if you will. Doesn’t make any sense but wasn’t anything I did to the bike. There were a few issues I found that I had to correct after purchasing the bike.
I just went from a Yamaha MT-10 SP to a 2023 1290 SuperDuke R Evo. My GOD, i never knew such savagery existed! KTM for life. For LIFE

That bike is an untamed beast! 😮💨
My dream bike
That baby looks good. Definitely never get rid of that
I still say it's the best looking and sounding bike ever made!! I love mine, and will also never sell it. Is it choppy when your riding easy around town with the Jester and no baffle? I am guessing a tune would probably fix that for me, but I can't find anyone I'll let work on it.

Yes is definitely chopping at low speeds around town. My Jester had no baffle and it sounds so good. A dyno tune will run me $800 to $1000. Hard to find anyone that can tune it let alone any ECU flashes.
ok some ideas for performance i would and did add a Rottweiler air filter and block off plates. and yup no ecu flash if close to chris more have him dyno it. but keep in mind if you like your touring range the way it is youll lose maybe 15 miles to the tank once all this is done but hp will go up to maybe 157 maybe. Stock hp is 135 to 140 from factory for looks the powered coated KTM orang wheels looks very nice IMO that is

Are referring to the wheels? Crank power is 175hp so I would think 150 to the wheel? I have an R version so they have a little more power than the standard RC8.

You were using your clutch when you were that fast or that was the quick shifter the you install.?

Change the mirrors. See if they have any rizomas for it. 🔥 bike

No Rizoma mirrors unfortunately. They discontinued after 2015 so there isn’t much when it comes to aftermarket parts. 😢
Amen RC8 brutha. Will never sell mine either. You need twisties to get the fun out of it tho 😉
