The 2011 RC8R chassis features a completely new suspension and damping set-up for the suspension. The structural architecture of the 1195cc 75-degree Twin is unchanged including the 105mm bore and 69mm stroke though changes to the cylinder head result in 175 horsepower and 93.7 lb-ft of torque. Cylinder head changes to the KTM RC8R Twin churn out more horsepower and torque, for a claimed 175 ponies and 93.7 lb-ft of torque. KTM brings more power to the table with its 2011 RC8R Superbike. The Austrian marque had previously announced a race-ready version of its Twin-powered superbike, dubbed the 1190 RC8R Track, at the earlier INTERMOT show in Cologne. For Milan, the Orange and Black announces changes to the base RC8R with horsepower up to a claimed 175.

Az 1000-es V2-est a héten megrendezésre kerülő tokiói motorshow-n mutatta be a KTM csapata. Igaz ugyan, hogy még csak egy prototípusról van szó, de jó eséllyel pályázik a sorozatgyártásra, hiszen a KTM legutóbbi projektjei, csakúgy, mint a 990 Super Duke, mind eljutottak idáig.

March 20, 2008 World Superbike racing is about to get a serious shake-up in 2009, as new heavyweight contenders step into the ring from BMW, Aprilia and 675 triple. In WSBK 2008, it seems the Ducati 1098S, the fastest Ducati ever with Australia's Troy Bayliss on board, is already standing out the bike to beat - and that's exactly the way KTM have approached the development of their 1148cc v-twin RC8 superbike, which weighs in, on both the scales and the dyno, as an absolute equal to the slippery Ducati.
