Rider Profile

Best For	This is a track-focused superbike that demands an experienced, skilled rider comfortable with aggressive geometry and razor-sharp responses.
Purpose	Built as a homologation-special track weapon, this limited edition RC8 R excels at circuit riding and high-speed cornering rather than everyday transport.
Rider Fit	The low, stretched-out riding position and high footpegs put significant weight on the wrists and demand good core strength and flexibility during longer sessions.
Character	It has the raw, visceral character of a V-twin superbike, delivering punchy low-end torque combined with a light chassis for razor-sharp turn-in.
Not Ideal For	This is not the right bike for commuting, casual daily riding, passenger comfort, or any kind of off-road use.

Inseam (optional)

Units

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

Feet:

At 845mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2012 KTM 1190 RC8 R Track, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 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.
