Rider Profile

Best For	This is a track-focused superbike best suited to experienced riders who are already comfortable with aggressive, high-performance machines.
Purpose	Built primarily for spirited sport riding and track days where its powerful V-twin and sharp chassis can be fully exploited.
Rider Fit	Expect an aggressive, weight-forward riding position with high footpegs and low bars that demand a fit rider and can strain wrists and wrists on longer rides.
Character	The RC8 delivers a raw, torquey V-twin punch combined with razor-sharp handling, giving it a visceral, race-bred personality.
Not Ideal For	It is a poor choice for new riders, daily commuting, long-distance touring, or anyone seeking a relaxed, upright riding position.

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 805mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 KTM 1190 RC8, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
