Any other KTM RC8R riders in Toronto?

I'm seriously considering the RC8R LE for my next bike. I'm not sure if it'd be Akrapovic or Red Bull edition yet though. I've seen them at a fairly reasonable price point as well. Actually, Malcolm Smith Motorsports (in Riverside, Ca) had them listed at $17,999 in the fall. I know there'd be customs and such; but still likely $5,000 less than Picotte was selling them for last year.

Don't quote me but I think the Canadian pricing has gone down. You may want to check it out.
 
A close look at them shows that they are super easy to remove all the crap for track use.Looks like they they would be easy to set up as well.If you know what you are doing.;)

All badass twins sound like that with stock pipes. However, once you change the pipes, they start to sound like pure death coming at you, like the world is coming to an end.

It's more mechanical noise of the motor versus exhaust note. I don't think the stock exhaust sounds too bad, but even with an Akra system the engine mechanical noises still sounded horrible. I don't fancy Ducati Dry Clutch rattle, but even it is better than the RC8 imo.
 
I cant hear mechanical diddly-squat on my 990..its way overpowered by the exhaust note.

The stock Akra pipe is probably heavily neutered anyway.
 
Love the look of the Orange and White.....Would buy one in a heart beat...... Dead Sexy!!!

My Friend just picked one up, You might catch him on a few rides this year with me and a few of the Burlington guys.
This truly is one of the Sexiest bikes around

I like the look of the creamcicle white/orange but I opted for the more "bad-***" matte black with white and orange.
