KTM RC8R Track onboard at Donington Park
The new KTM RC8R Track is essentially a regular RC8R but without all the road-legal items such as headlight, number plate etc...
MCN's Adam Child took the bike to Donington Park for a test ride before racing it at Oliver's Mount.

Not lying about being the fastest thing on the track! Damn i love that thing.
the camera is detecting a rupture in the time and space continuum
Watching KTM overtaking all of these bikes... Priceless.
love the sound of the rc8
Such a nice bike. Thanks for the video!
Monster torque
awesome sound good riding too.
@ChosenMime8 Same vibes happen on my Ducatis, if I mount the camera to the forks or frame. Good vibrations.
@motorcyclenewsdotcom you have to best moto vids!!!
That's the coolest sounding bike i've ever heard! Sounds sinister when downshifting
is he not blipping the throttle on downshifts?
@Fozza217G obviously never heard one in person , they are insane!
that thing got to 132 mph in no time :)
Is it true that these V2 things vibrate as hell, and you have shaky hands after an hour of riding? Is it that bad?
does this bike have a slipper clutch?
was it a power wheelie at 120 mph ,@3:14 about ?

no its just a little bump there sort of a "down step" in that part of the track thats why
Fantastic film. Is there anything more beautiful than the sound of a big twin under load and going for it? Sounds like a male voice choir. Nice riding, this is how I imagine myself riding in my dreams! Good work.
@adam1301992 when you downshift you push the lever down with your left foot, however, alot of racers will reverse the pattern by flipping the gear lever(rod) and make it where when you upshift you tap it down- great for ground clearance in corners. stock/standard style is 1st (at bottom) then neutral (between 1st n 2nd) pulling/clicking up to the rest.
@H4r4ld0 It's a great track. Paddock Hill Bend is an unsighted dip, very scary at first!
Just a question about the stuff they use to get rid of oil on the track at 1:30 (cement dust?) what's it like to ride over? People on track day videos I've seen don't seem to back off when going over it, does it just look worse than it actually is? Cheers
I saw this bike and was going to buy it and wish I did but id of only got it depending on some terms such as having the bike restricted alot till I get used to the power and then finally have it derestricted once im used to it. Does anyone know if this is even possible to restrict such a bike?
@Johnny5sWorld Happens a lot with cheap HD camcorders. Its type of sensor they use I believe. By cheap i still mean £500+
nice ride
What's up with the wavy feed???
What bike are you talking about that does 100mph in first? From my experience it is more like 65-80mph in first
someone wearing knox gloves, finally ;)
Good stuff.
nice bike adam childs a brave man man showing this ? a 1.53 lap on a new rc8r? id be gutted? hope he went quicker when he raced it ;-)
The competition wasn't really hard on that trackday , but RC8's are cool bikes anyway. It does need some extra onboard electronics like traction control & anti-wheelie...maybe something for next years RC8RR??
@BrocBolin what are you doing riding my bike?
Sounds similar to a Ducati.
Did the camera get lsd ?!
ARE YOU RUNNING THE BIKE IN ???
this is kmh or mph ?? please...
Did anybody else tilt their head while watching this?

Yep 😂😂
Yes! KTM was about 6 second slower on the first lap comparing to your video from 1st of June 2012, but KTM had more traffic. Watch KTM from 2:07 and your BMW from 2:59 and you both would have identical lap time if not the traffic for the RC8R at the very end. And yes KTM did hit 133 and the BMW of yours 140, 7MPH difference which is quite understandable (180hp twin vs 196hp Monster). Obviously a lot depends on the skills of the rider too. I'm BMW guy but this KTM is still very impressive ;-P
its true my 08 R1 will easily top 160kmh in first gear,no problem.
Meanwhile, as cities burn... important motorcycle news!
Seems like the second lap was faster than the first...
I almost bought one of these 9 years ago
to bad the race edition costs 5,000$ more than the street one and comes with less stuff... it is still a cool idea though.
Are you out in the beginners group or something?? Man there all slow!
exactly. if you want an inline 4 there are plenty out there. if you want a v-twin sports bike, there's what... the ducati (which you'll push everywhere) or this.
yo quiero una KTM¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ PLEASE
Not entirely true. The top speed in first is between 70-76mph. It is well known that the speedo is off.
V-twins... the only way it gets done.
seems to be an awkward place to mount the camera
No doubt the riders better than me but just saying it only does 133 on the back straight, my video shows 148
oahh.. got it thanks ..
It's clearly got lots of punch but I think it sounds a bit crap. It definately sounds very slow (but clearly is not actually slow).
R1, GSXR 1000, ZX10R, BMW S1000RR, they all do 100 mph in first...
@rsv1000tomzek Im black...and i want a tv...But is that RSV1000 in your username? Where do you live and what times are you asleep and/or at work?
now get a latest kawasaki ZX10R and ride this same track with this same camera view.
Slenderman was here.
nice bike but i don't like the sounds...
Really seems slow, barely hits 130 on the straights?
que botem fogo em londres hahahahahaha
@SicSeb Perhaps you're not a Monty Python fan? Sarcasm - n. harsh or bitter derision or irony. Just laughing at the fact that while packs of thugs are doing their thing (using someone's tragic death as an excuse to loot, pillage, and murder), life goes on, trackside.
sounds like duke 200 :D
It's a V-Twin that sound exactly like a V-Twin. I don't think you can knock a bike that isn't an I4 for not sounding like an I4.
OMG those horrible stock clipons.....Aftermarket or GTFO!
I must admit that is one of the ugliest dashes I've ever seen on a faired sportbike.
