Chad's been to Portimão to ride something a bit special, the KTM RC 8C track-only bike. Is it time for Chad to come out of retirement? #ktm #ontrack #racetrack
Chad great review and I have to say your riding skills have come along way over the years, your body position on that is seriously impressive mate, elbow down too!! Legend mate! Keep up the good work.
The optics are good. It would have been even more impressive with a four cylinder engine pumping out 260-280hp and a more modern carbon fiber frame. A Chromoly tubular frame makes as much sense as wire spoked rims does on a proper 21st Century racing Motorcycle.
KTM is straight smoking crack on the price. They have lost it and the lack of quality control shows it. Referring to the QC on the 2024 off road bikes. And there goes Neevesy on the Gixxr 750 past the KTM...
Need to see KTM in WSBK!
Only If im one of the riders...
Chad is a pure joy to watch on track! I cannot wait to see one of these RC8C track bikes on a UK trackday real soon!
Thanks

This what motorcycle is all about, fun and feel, just enjoy the experience to the fullest. And KTM really knows how it works.
Hopefully this is a little indicaton of what new KTM street sports bike will bee😊❤❤
Porty-Mayo... I love it
Chad is a hard worker, god bless him
It is hard work
Mega mega design this one ☝️
I wonder how did KTM made an 800cc bike way before MotoGP announced the regulations for 2025 season. 🤔
neat
#weapon
How many oil leaks does it come spec'd with?
If it does leak oil then you never have to change it - just add🙂
Smart hahaha
To race in WSS
I thought they were @
PORT A MAYO 😄😄
Thanks.
@@Chad76Media no worries
Pour tea maow is the closest pronunciation to the correct form.
is it able to enter WSBK?
No, as there is no road legal homologated version, this a Kramer GP2 bike with KTM fairings
You're sorry ? Where is Chris ?
He’s always on holiday
Yeah, I could see now :)
00:27 a “noomber” huh? WTF is that?
Truly disappointed that KTM won’t make a street bike.
they are making a street legal version for 2025
But they are? It’s coming 2025
Dont be disappointed , KTM 990 RC R coming soon.
I want a 1390
990 RC is coming 2025
Ptwin? Should've been Vtwin
Yup. I guess ptwin is much simpler to work with

Don't forget to add the " made in China " sticker to the bike, looks like you forgot to put it on... LOL...
This one made in Austria
@@Chad76Media more likely Germany, as its 95% Kramer
Bet an R6 would be faster around a track?
Don’t think so
Bit irrelevant without a street version
Not if you want to do track days!
Much of what went into this has been used to create the RC990R, which is going to be a street legal bike for homologation to WSS rules.
