The May issue of FB is out with the RC8 launch featured.

As you Merkins and Mosse Muchers won't be able to get it for a while,I've scanned it for you.

Photobucket pulled the last pic.

Not sure their claim that the engine is down on power is correct.

All other journos seems to agree with the claimed 155bhp.

Just got my copy of fast Bikes, damn that was quick. Ordered on Friday from England and arrived here at my door in Canada on Tuesday, nice.

The bikes sounds brilliant and everything I want except the damn power. 'More like an 848" They guess 120hp at the rear wheel. If there is any truth to that KTM messed up big time I hope its a load of bollocks!

I must admit I was let down with the power in the A$$ of my Superduke so I hope this is not a common thing with KTM exaggerating on the power that much. I'll keeping reading reviews until I hear what I want to here LOL I want one of these puppies but I expect more from that engine please I hope fast Bike is dead wrong on this one.

Just read it thank you. It's funny because fast Bikes were one of the only mags that rated the Superduke over the Speed Triple so I was expecting them to be a little biased in favour of the RC8, that's obviously not the case.
