The KTM RC8 seemed pretty radical when it debuted two years ago, and its chiseled bodywork hid a 155 horsepower v-twin that undoubtedly sent ripples of disorientation among KTM loyalists steeped in the brand's well-established offroad bikes.
Enter wave 2 of KTM's superbike attack.
The new KTM RC8 R produces a scorching 170 horsepower and comes equipped with upgraded componentry sure to satisfy niche-loving track junkies everywhere... which I can verify, as my legs are still sore from a day of testing at Laguna Seca.
