How I made £6,000 profit by accident! The Story of the KTM RC8R Akrapovic edition

[@paulbudford]

Always liked these. It's a shame KTM didn't carry on with this model.

[@stoneautomotive]

100% agree 😎

[@alexisjones4652]

I have the white and orange coloured R since 2013. Every time i think about selling it i then ride it and very quickly change my mind. I love the thing

[@stoneautomotive]

Awesome 😎 if I had the space in the garage to have one tucked up I would, such a stunning design even all these years later 👌

[@Akrane23]

I seen the KTM in your K6 750 service video and thought it was just a high quality custom job you did on the bike. But a factory edition with 100 made, very cool! Plus a killer deal, congrats on the profitable exit🎉

[@stoneautomotive]

Already regret letting it go 😅

[@samuelvamos8881]

so you sold it for 11 000 ? it was a gift ? There is less than 80 mcwilliams limited left in the world. (plus less than 25 in usa). It was really a nice price !

[@mikesphoenix_e46m3]

great video james yet again think you need to become a bike wheelerdealer 😀

[@stoneautomotive]

Haha yep sounds like a plan 😅

[@Unedited2022]

Awesome bike mate, sad to see it go, sounded like the gates of hell! Careful with decelerating profits, HMRC love this stuff.

[@stoneautomotive]

I’m sure the’ll be another when things get back on top 👍 Sadly due to loosing my job it was needed funds, when I reviewed this it’s not a problem providing it’s personal use ie not a motor trader etc, taking 3 years to sell a bike would make me a pretty bad salesman 😅

[@Unedited2022]

@@stoneautomotive ahh good man. Hate to see decent people get screwed over! Looking forward to the 2 stroke update!

[@indiminishable]

Wow that was a great deal 😳 I’ve had an ‘09 R for 10 years and will probably never sell it. I’m curious what the KTM 2 stroke engine is in?

[@indiminishable]

Oh it’s a Grom 😂

[@stoneautomotive]

Yep, it’s gonna be a wild thing when finished haha! Full series on the channel 😬 Honda Grom 300cc engine swapped is alive! First ride on Project Hoonigrom kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZbSoHacjdGKhdE

[@HappyFireDragon-on1lz]

Is it a real 85 foot pounds of torque ? This was said 90 foot pounds?

[@stoneautomotive]

The details I was provided was 180bhp & 100ftb with the club race kit fitted (thinner head gaskets for higher compression, cam timing adjustment, ecu remap & the stunning Akrapovic evolution exhaust) this is flywheel figures so obviously less at the wheels Certainly no slouch, really miss it to be honest 😭

[@John-o6v4h]

The dream bike is 85fpt if that's better you just sold the best bike you can buy.

[@c.h.7580]

How many miles were on it?

[@bassp.sherman1908]

U practically stole that bike for that price.

[@stoneautomotive]

I just placed a bid on the auction 😅 But yes it was verrrrry cheap 😬
