Finally a full orange bike… so aggressive so beautiful…
RC series started the full orange bike since the 2022 redesign with 390
*Acosta enters the chat*
KTM: for no reason in particular, we thought now is the right time to get back into the supersport segment...
with the previous superbike displacement...
@@motojcit's dumb and partially why they killed the r6 for street bikes... cause it was so good, lets put up 8-900cc against 599... no one wanted the r7.
@@replynotificationsdisabled They literally explained why 600s died... and the reasons for this bike. Did you watch the video? The R6 died because it sucked for the road. The main people and fanboys buying R6s are getting them second hand which yamaha doesn't profit from. The people that buy them new either race it or sell it. The R7 does two things well while the R6 only did one.
@@replynotificationsdisabled The R7 is a parallel twin designed to compete against the SV650 and Aprillia RSV 660 thingamabob, though? Typo?
@@replynotificationsdisabled A lot of people want the R7. The R6 is one of the most boring bike on road. Riding at 11~13000 rpm at every second is not for everyone and a lot of people want a supersport body position with a bit of medium end torque.
Same for the R9 but even better since the engine is such a joy and also because Yamaha did put really good brakes and suspension settings.
I'm only 4 mins into this video and can already tell KTM will absolutely nail this.
The amount of anticipation and hype they are going to build around this series is going to be mental.
Well done for taking your time and trying to get this right.
We all still want it to launch tomorrow just to be clear though!
The messaging was the problem. Talking about a large displacement faired sport bike being too dangerous for the street while releasing a 1290 super naked for the street was duplicitous at best. It reminds me of other products only being considered dangerous if they had plastic stocks instead of wood stocks (while being the exact same product excluding the stock material in both cases).
But the 1190 rc r had nothing, the 1290 has cornering abs, wheeler control and all these other "safety" features
My guy forget 1390
What they mean was electronic safety systems that we are getting used to have in any category specially in super bike category, and I'm personally a very big fan of rc8 but basically all the safety system that it had was "ABS" and that's about it (I'm not even sure if it did have traction control or not )
And comparing it to the other competitors and even other more modern ktm bikes that have all the gadgets from wheely control to 6D traction control and ABS systems and etc, it actually was kind of lacking...
But a great bike nonetheless and it's gonna be a great future classic in my opinion (and one of the reasons for that is the actual fact that it doesn't have that much electronic gadgets on it and is a more pure driving experience, although lacking an analog tachometer to complete that analog experience to it's best in that that regard !!)
@@abolfazlg8666 So you just add a bit more plastic fairing to a Duke/Super Duke and that bike becomes magically unsafe and unfit for the roadway?
@@antoniovenegas6237 The 2006 ZX-14 also had nothing and made just under 192 horsepower, and that is just one example of many. The primary point was that taking a Duke/Super Duke and adding sport bike plastics to it magically made it unsafe and unfit for the road which was laughable at best.
I think its the Most Awaited Bike
Ditto!
This and (if) Yamaha finaly presents a R9! Triumph wanted the newcomers money and build a Daytona 660 instead of a 765 as them should have so they are out. KTM and (probably) Yamaha are the only two left to bring something exiting! Obviously only if the price is right.
It won't because KTM will price it to the moon like the other 990 models, only idiots would like to pay +16K for a middle-weight sports bike because the literbikes are far more powerful with little weight penalty..
I don’t even know how to ride [yet] but my heart never stopped skipping a beat watching this. Never stop. 🙏🏼🔥✨
@@user-qv5lr1sy9o only idiots would by a thousand full stop, whats the point. way too much power to actually stretch its legs and enjoy the thing.
a 600 has more than enough power, the only reason you want more than that is dick measuring. More power doesnt make a better bike, often the opposite.
when this motorcycle launches , I will literally sell my everything to buy it
I might be in the same boat
Why such a buzz? can someone educate me please?
its the comeback of the iconic supersportbikes of ktm after many years of saying that they wont make them anymore. a new touch to whats already on the market in that segment@@itstherealjammin
You mean your jeans and old smartphone? 😂
No offence. Just a joke.
@@itstherealjammin There aren't many big-twin sportbikes in the market. Plenty of middle-weight twins and plenty of 4 cylinder race bikes with far too much power for the road, it's a nice inbetween. I have an SV1000S, pulls like a litre bike down low but has the top-end power and gearing of a 600cc supersport, perfect for the road in my opinion. I just wish it handled better like a true supersport and that is what KTM is doing here, super excited.
KTM, you have a showroom winner in the making with this RC990R
I left KTM years ago due to unavailability of parts and poor assembly on the new bikes (plastic and stuff found in the engine cylinders.
I hope they’ve fix their quality control. Because this bike could really be something special.
I would agree that years ago KTM had questionable build quality. Nowadays it seems to be a lot better because I had a 2022 890. Rode it as a daily and put 18k miles on it until I decided to try something different and sold it. Had zero issues with the bike doing the maintenance myself. Plenty of aftermarket and oem support that I put on that thing. It's the one bike I really miss having.
Since I got my 2016 KTM 390 Duke, I fell in Love with KTM products. I will start saving money to get the 990 RCR😊. Cannot wait. Thanks KTM!
Holy moly, Ready to race 💯
Just a bunch of Austrian Kyles and Chads, being serious about their craft. I love it.
Most of them are not Austrian
Only halfway through the video, but let us all appreciate that 1190 RC8R, what a beauty ! I had that engine in my 1190 Adventure R and it was bonkers ! I would still jump 1 meter high if I got my hands on a RC8R, but they are hard to find ( non track used ones ).
past 2014 1190 adventure S owner, it was an amazing motorcycle, especially for the money. Currently own a 1290 super adventure S.
@@cuzimaluzer777 I went to a Superduke 1290, now I'm on an 2023 Adventure 890r
@@dawn-moon I had a 2021 890 duke. It was a blast. Could drive it like a maniac and still averaged 52 mpg. That 890 motor is really good
I have an rc8 here in Hawaii iam 3rd owner don't know if its been to a track
Nothing wrong with a track used bike, it's what they were designed for after all, just check that maintenance was kept up on. Track riders are usually waayyy better at keeping up with maintenance anyways.
As a long time KTM customer, current SDGT owner, retired racer but still track day enthusiast and dare I say it Panigale owner (different bikes for different reasons right and who can live with just 1 bike in the garage?) I'm pretty much dying with anticipation to see more about this and certainly a potential buyer if it ticks the right boxes for me.
Normal people live with one bike
@@TheInfantry98 Normal People live with… you’r not a real enthusiast, are ya?
same here
"Different bikes for different reasons..." try to explain that to my wife..., I've been trying for years 😏.
KTM coming up with this now won't make my live with her any easier 😂
120hp dude
As a Ducati Panigale V4S 2023 owner and driver, KTM has my attention
Looking forward to see the project finished.
Folks, what you have just witnessed is a masterclass in backpeddling
Finally!! I wanted a RC8 especially when Chris Fillmore raced it in the AMA superbike class. I've been thinking about getting the KTM 1390 GT, but this might change everything...Ready To Race!
It's time to be born a new Era.
Most awaited 🔥🔥
The low end grunt of the 1290 and 1390 V-Twins are amazingly addictive and has a lot more on top than the parallel twins
Nice. And we ALMOST get to see the bike throughout the whole video.
Wow! they fitted some fairings on the 990 Duke and are gonna charge you a premium for it. Calling it "Groundbreaking" "Game Changer" or something like that. Come on KTM, this is the end of the combustion engine era. Give us something crazy! like a 165kg. 270hp, V4, Supermoto, or something..
Long over due. As a owner of two KTM RC8R bikes. It is great to see the attention the bike gets when people see one for the first time in person. I love the passion of the brand to be dominate. Also a Ducati owner, great to see KTM begin to make some progress with the MotoGP bike. But at some point outside of winning a championship at the highest level, where does all the technology and experience go? Finally the return of the RC8 R brand. It would be nice to see at some point the RC 16 MotoGP replica come to life in the future. My guess that is forth coming as Pedro Acosta continues to do well with the RC16 and when he wins the championship, then will KTM begin to think about making a tribute bike for the KTM enthusiast. I will say Ducati marketing team knows how to feed into the true enthusiast, by making LE and tribute bikes. Don't reinvent the marketing wheel, just making them. They will sale just like the RC 8C bikes. Just give us all options to buy them and not sale out in less than 5 minutes. LOL! Looking forward to 2025 and will be contacting my dealership about getting one. Ready to Race #NEVERSTOP #don'tstopwon'tstop
Brings the legend RC8R!!!!
KTM RC990R BRUTALE 🔥❤️⚡
So excited to see more of this bike, KTM is by far the most disruptive bike designer, and the technical aspects are ahead as well. To me, KTM, Aprilia and Ducati are today the best bike brands on the market , and yes it's European!
KTM will dominate this too just like they do motocross and enduro.
About time and very exciting. Looking forward to seeing the final product hit the road and in person.
Finally! Guys, god damn, we’ve been waiting for almost a decade now! Now I’m hyped!
But hopefully the price won’t be to far of the Duke 990. Your chosen competition is obviously the red ones with their V2. But if it’s a similar price than it will be a though one.
Finally...KTM has come back!
How are the camshafts?
Like chocolate 😂
FINALLY!
Lets GO 🔥🔥🔥
God bless you all, we hope to ride this
Cool, aber warum nicht einen 1290 RC oder 1390 RC mit 200 PS? Wir möchten doch einen echten Nachfolger der RC8 R haben, der für den Straßenverkehr zugelassen ist. Bitte denk darüber nach KTM!
Die großen Motorräder sind für die Hersteller nicht immer die profitabelsten. Ich glaub die RC 1390 kommt noch, aber sie müssen sich halt wieder rantasten.
Ich verstehe was du meinst, hoffentlich kommt‘s noch.
zu gefährlich ;)
@@Anonymous-jd7rcdie 1390 wird laut meinerm Händler nicht kommen, es lohnt sich wohl nicht.. ich finde es auch schade aber wenn die Community eventuell laut genug wird, wäre es nicht auszuschließen
Awesome video! Wow! That is a beautiful bike. Best!
i will instantly buy this the moment it comes out.
KTM is such an awesome company.
Thank you KTM for bringing a sports bike out!
This is great news. Ducati is currently the only brand still making a proper supersport twin-cylinder with the Panigale V2. Back in the day you had a lot more options, with Aprilia, Ducati, Honda, Suzuki all making this kind of machines. I owned several of them and this kind of bike is the best for sport street riding in my opinion. I imagine this KTM will be a parallel twin though. What makes me more excited is that I can imagine other brands stepping up to compete. Aprilia will likely bump up the displacement of its RS660, and Yamaha could easily release an R9 for a 3-cylinder competitor. Good times if true :)
greatly appreciate how much background info we're getting for the new release.
Without a shadow of a doubt, KTM is a company that knows how to build machines with soul, please come to Brazil.
It’s about time!
There's a big gap in the supersports market for the racing/road enthusiast... 160BHP with VVT and weighing under 155 KG dry (close to 1:1) near 160 would be the ultimate track tool. That's what we need!
Oh my! 😍🔥
Excellent presentation. As a long time ducati rider I've been looking for something different so I just purchased an 890 smt. Now with a sportbike coming i might be a full convert to ktm
I am writing this as the video is ongoing because I have a hunch it will be another parallel twin :P I have such a hard time getting used to seeing parallel twins on premium bikes. They(engines) are after all cheaper to make compared to a v-twin but still fetch so high prices today. If the pricing was more down to earth for a parallel twin then yeah...
sounds like your vanity is getting the better of you.
@@theant9821 what vanity? that an old sbk like srad 750 is faster and cheaper and with killer chassis on track?
YESSSSS!!!!! ITS REAL!!!!! FINALLY!!!!! KTM RULES!!!!
As a long time KTM enthusiast and recent owner. I hope this become a homologated road going bike. We need this.
KTM perfectly achieved indian market. I was confused why there is no above 500cc RC varient but now it's here. Hoping for price under 20 lakh or under
@@Random_biker. kawasaki good brand but yeah if you love any brand it will not give same fun as you used to do with your favourite brand.
absolutely stunning. cannot wait to see these on the street.
Idk about y’all but I’m so excited and will probably be buying this bike when it comes out. Let’s go ktm 💪💪
Very excited for the final product 👌🏼
Praying for an RC690 🙏
Finally a beautiful KTM!
WOW! I am so excited for this bike! Super excited to learn more about it
Here The Super RC The 990 series Begins 🧡🖤
I'm a videographer and fucking hell! This series is gonna be fucking huge!
Feeling a little emotional now. Thanks KTM
On more super sport bike joining a super bike category 😎😎😎
THANK YOU KTM THANK YOU!!! Please also enter this in WSSP.
@ 10:55 : "Sport bikes doesn't need too many gimmicks" -) I l🧡ve this pure message from the designer! Looking forward to seeing more!
OMG, They made this bike for me !!!
RC200 owner here. Probs never gonna reach at the level of skill to ride an 990 RC R, but wow. Just. Wow. (Still gonna stick to a KTM, might just switch to a Duke for a better progression ladder).
I have been riding my RC390 for 5+ years and I am extremely with it so with this announcement I am only excited to see what wonderful machine they bring
KTM bikes have amazing design. Never had a chance to ride one I would love to compare one to my CBR on the track
Thank God! Finally!
Hell yeah 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Acosta from Moto GP is the craziest coincidence for marketing of this bike with how much hype he’s getting and bringing attention to KTM
Finally an upgrade from my 390 RC
finally, a street legal ktm supersport liter bike and it looks absolutely gorgeous
This is huge
KTM motorcycle designer and engineer are all motorcyclist, great product great performance great customer satisfaction!
Awesome to see a fully faired KTM bike again but we would love to see a KTM superbike! Maybe a 1390 RC R in the near future..
brutal, la espero con un faro bonito y revolucioanrio
Ngl i feel like this is the most long awaited bike hopefully it'll be a success.
When we are going to see duke 990r . Kudos to you guys nailing all the motorbikes 👌🏻
A thick fuel tank like the legendary RJ15 had and dual lights (left and right) would be insane, looking forward to 2025 and your progress guys!!
Can’t wait!
RIDE 🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊🍊!!!!!!!!! TEAM KTM 🧡🧡🧡🧡
But will the camshaft desintegrate before 18k miles?
What you on about? The rc8r doesnt have or had this problem... only the 790 duke
@@jurgenbuntinx1 ah yes but you see back in the day KTM was a European brand building bikes in EU. Now there a Chinese/Indian bike manufacturer with EU prices. No the same quality.
Looks amazing I very interested. I would also love to see a rc690
Bring it in black color to the US, I'm pre-ordering one!
Listening about the thought process the direction for designing this bike I am convinced it's similar to my idea of a sport bike
finally, fuckin took your time you mad lads
Finally my rc8r can have a buddy.
I can’t waitttttt dude😍😍😍😍🧡🧡🖤🖤
I can’t wait to see it in real life it is BEAUTIFUL
will the cam eat itself tho?
Finally KTM.
Great job KTM! The only problem could was the Kiska design in my own opinion but what I see on the video is very very nice and racing as a KTM must be.
Hell yeah
Love KTM 🧡
orange family :)
the old RC8 is ahead of its time. Hope you can bring it back with 1290 platform
We’re super excited, hoping the KTM mobile/app strategy will be equally compelling 😉. KTM Video & performance app…
Wow
Born to race
Thats Honda😂😉
Very good😊
about damn time
LFG 🔥
*R9 ENTERS THE PRODUCTION*
KTM: for no reason in particular, we thought now is the right time to get back into the supersport segment...
