2011 KTM 1190 RC8 R gets cheaper, more desirable


KTM prices for the company absurd uncanny RC8 2011 1190 R has announced, and there is plenty to get excited too. The bike is now for a full $ 3,500 cheaper than last year's model, which KTM has saddled the machine to go with a suggested retail price of $ 16,499 funds. This number represents the 1190 RC8 R at the same price point as the more mortal 1190 RC8 (non-R), the KTM killed this year.
We recommend that if you put money for either a 1190 or 2010 1190 RC8 RC8 R, you're kicking yourself as hard as your leg to swing at the moment.
The 2011 1190 RC8 R packs 172 hp, thanks in part to its dual-ignition engine that gives more power and fuel consumption (up to 12 percent compared to the old design) and KTM says the company's engineers in a heavier cast crank and flywheel to provide smoother acceleration. A minty-fresh ECU, new 52-mm throttle body and idle control cam are all part of the mix as well.
Suspension wise, the 2011 1190 RC8 with R greater air chamber in the fork and the rear spring rate is adjusted for a comfortable ride. There are even a number of new lever controls all the Seal the Deal. How is this more for your money?
KTM also offers a full racing version called the 1190 RC8 Race Spec R that a headlight, taillight and turn signals forfeited to the hardcore hardware such as a full titanium exhaust and a staggering 180 hp for the same V-Twin. Expect to shell $ 19,999 for the pleasure of twisting the throttle on that titanium.
