The Coolest RC8C In The World.

[@bushy9780]

so cool. you are living the dream. Hopefully, this channel gets the subs it deserves.

[@vtranmoto]

thanks Bushy, really appreciate that! hoping more folks enjoy track and racebikes!

[@CubanRider]

I liked the orange better, but came out slick nonetheless.

[@vtranmoto]

thanks man, if/when we do COTA I'll bring both sets, I think you really have to see the carbon in person. It is a bit outrageous. :D

[@davidherringgo]

Can't wait to see your KTM going around Barber. Hope Jaret sees this . He will like all the Carbon.

[@vtranmoto]

Super excited to get back out there, likely in August!

Nice bodywork and livery! You better come to Hallett so we can see it someday!

[@MustardBikes]

Looks great! , and will look even better with the orange wheels! CF looks high quality too.

[@vtranmoto]

thank you! :D Dymag's website says they are pausing production of the carbon wheels (they're moving their factories for carbon production??) but they are continuing production of the forged wheels. So I think we will be able to get the orange forged magnesium wheels, but carbon might not be an option.

[@TREY_ON_TWO]

Came out amazing! Can't wait to chase it on track!

You put the rc 8c on the map for me. Now I just need to find one

[@vtranmoto]

Thanks! They just sold out the 2023 batch of 200 units. From time to time you’ll see one go on sale as not all buyers will ride them. Worth the money in my opinion!

[@thewheeltroll1833]

Really hope KTM makes a street version on this bike. It seems amazing!

[@vtranmoto]

Good news! There have been spy shots of a sport style 890. It’ll be a different chassis/suspension since it’ll be for street riding mainly but it should still kickass! The spy shots suggest that the bodywork is very close to the RC8C as well!

[@paulmcmullen914]

I was just looking at my 890 and thinking that if I were to redesign it, I would lower the shock, go with a low exhaust, move the gas down to the center and put the airbox in the ‘fuel tank’ area. Turns out that is basically a naked RC-8C!

[@michaellarsen7984]

Great look!! Also with the orange wheels it’s going to pop even more!! Love it!!! Can’t wait to see it in person.

[@vtranmoto]

thanks Mike :D looking forward to showing ya'll!

[@660xV7]

The orange was so clean, but the new bodywork is beautiful in its own right as well. Keep us updated on the orange Dymags! Awesome video. Really glad I found your channel.

[@vtranmoto]

Thanks Alex, appreciate it man. I think the Orange is very classic and it stands out on the grid which is awesome. The carbon is menacing 😈 glad you found the channel, more to come!

[@andrewshaw2614]

Amazing, I think I may have to get a set of carbon bodywork too, the orange wheels will make it, can't wait to see them.

[@vtranmoto]

Thank you! I’m talking to my carbon guy, if you have Facebook shoot me a message, there’s been a few other RC8C owners that are interested!

[@rikardbirgersson8578]

@@vtranmoto How much would that set be? Great channel. Thank you 🙌

[@vtranmoto]

@@rikardbirgersson8578 thanks so much! hi Rikard, its around $2900 USD + shipping, in North America around $400-500, in Europe around $100. Feel free to send me a message on Facebook if you'd like to get a set!

[@alexonsager]

Viet this was a really fun video to see! The bike is gorgeous, I love how the orange is working as an accent color. Great job Peter!

[@petecastiglione9710]

Looks amazing. Hope to see it at COTA in October or November.

[@vtranmoto]

will likely be there for both! if you're ever in Houston lmk happy to host at MSRH!

[@davidherringgo]

I wish Jaret and Dado would get in KTMs and mod. one out.

[@rickarderiksen4262]

That lump thing in the tail unit is a catch-tank. The fuel pump is at the lowest point of the tank. Right side under the seat.

[@lamsonofficial3372]

Tôi muốn mua body này gắn vào con 390 😂

[@dukie1616]

That looks so good. Please don’t think less of me😂 but until you can get those orange wheels what about some KTM orange decals on those wheels?

[@vtranmoto]

I’d never think less of you Dukie! Haha, yes actually Dirk at 212 suggested that option to try and see how it looks so we might go that route for short term/see how it looks. I also reached out to Dymag for carbon wheels but apparently they’re pausing production on carbon wheels for motorcycles 🥲

[@akouirouk]

If someone smeared a Pedrosa signature off my bike they'd have to pay for my next 4 trackdays, no questions asked. What a bike you're putting together though! KTM has to start paying you, you're making me want to buy a RC 390 😂

[@vtranmoto]

haha thanks man, KTM make great bikes. but dude, hold off if you can. Kawasaki just confirmed they are bring the ZX-4R to the States. If I were in the market for a small displacement, wicked fast track bike, I would 100% get the ZX-4R. It's going to be lighter and more nimble than a Ninja 400, but with significantly more power and better electronics.

[@MotoTrackSide]

very cool bro! No winglets? or are the winglets BS?

[@vtranmoto]

I’m debating…my understanding is there’s not much effect, the bike isn’t a superbike so the speeds aren’t all that high (like 155-60ish). It’s a supersport at the end of the day. But maybe just do it for the looks?!

[@olliegodfrey3308]

probably completely missed you mentioning this, but are you going to be putting the winglets back on it?

[@vtranmoto]

[@goldengooch1867]

7:55 I think I just learned I've been putting on dzus backets wrong my whole life. I always put the bodywork between the 'U' and then never seemed to get the bodywork lined up right...

[@vtranmoto]

we learn something new every day! :D

[@coronapack]

What about just having your 212 guy make up something to accent the wheels with instead of getting all new wheels?

[@vtranmoto]

definitely an option! Dymag haven't gotten back to me yet about carbon wheels or colored forged wheels, so I think a decal wheelkit might be the ticket.

[@alexdaix]

[@GRC_Lexxlr8]

Besides being customer, was there any other reasoning behind replacing with the carbon?

[@vtranmoto]

Totally for fun :)

[@BrianEvansracer]

Who makes the bodywork? Were you not able to get replacement KTM bodywork in a reasonable time??

[@vtranmoto]

howdy! a friend of mine in EU makes it. I could get the OEM fairings from KTM, but I was interested in trying something different. I've always loved winter liveries, like the WSBK ZX10R Jonathan Rea Winter liveries so I felt this was an opportune time to try it out! :D

[@verdeboyo]

Fookin' Hell!! You have nailed it bro! Factory race team winter testing look is awesome. Is there a 'tank extender' available for this, like what racing folk tend to fit to keep you further back from the sloping tank, if you know what I mean. It'll look so damned good on the track. Hope you enjoy riding this beauty lots. Cos I would!

[@vtranmoto]

Thanks Gio!!! I really really liked how it turned out! No tank extender right now, but I haven’t found a huge issue with the ergonomics. I might add some stomp grips as it can get a little slippery mid corner lol 😂

[@adrenalinecycle]

Very nice! I’m looking for new plastics where did these come from as oem fairings are to expensive to crash lol

[@vtranmoto]

I have a friend in Europe that manufactures carbon so I had him make me a set, he’s got extra sets that he can sell so let me know if you’d like the contact. They fit both 2022 and 2023 RC8Cs 👊

@@vtranmoto Barber is one of the best tracks in this country! It’s like a small beautiful well kept compound and the atmosphere is intoxicating. Not to mention the track itself it’s smooth and very technical! COTA is a ways away for us, but I would love that so we might! I’ll let you know! I bet it’s an expensive track?

[@vtranmoto]

@@ryanlowe2808 that's consistent with everything I've heard about Barber. I'm BEYOND excited to experience it myself. Unfortunately, COTA is definitely way ovepriced. $500-600 PER day. Its absurd. But for me, its also the only track in the region that is "World class". So its definitely a special experience. Is it worth it to go regularly? Absolutely not. Is it worth it to go once..maybe twice a year? Maybe...lol.

[@ryanlowe2808]

@@vtranmoto I’ll say this, after riding a real MotoGP track at Mugello last month, I am shocked at the difference between a “world class” track as you say, and all the other American tracks. They make the rest look like go kart tracks, the long sweeping (high speed) corners are no joke and they made me feel like my first time on track again. So fast, so beautiful, so much different than 99% of our tracks. If COTA is the same, then I agree it’s worth going as often as possible!

[@vtranmoto]

@@ryanlowe2808 Whoo!!!! That’s so awesome! Sounds like y’all had a great time at Mugello 😁 COTA is indeed a “world class” circuit, its truly a F1 track so it’s got room for days which is pretty confidence inspiring. Definitely do it some day!
