anyone got any info about these??
i know they are a bit out there looking, but i popped down to GRowlers! 2 see wot they had, and sat on a couple of K series gixsers as thats really what im looking for, but seen the RC8 and had to have a go, wow so comfy to sit on, the ride hieght and positioning is amazing,
seen one for sale, just wondered if theres anything i should look out for, besides being laughed down the road that is,

Not really looked into them much, a tad out of my price and license range at the moment!!! But i've only heard good things about them.
And to be honest... even if the bike was crap i'd still want one for those looks! I love it! Proper angry looking!

Fully adjustable everything! The Jap manufacturers could learn a lot. Never really sold that well. Later models are the best 2009 - on.
Quite track focused and agressive and the fueling is a little snatchy.

this one is a 2008., cannot afford a 2009 and above! lolOriginally Posted by dan_geoghegan
just read that there was a recall on the gearboxes for the 08's would this have been all of them? as need to check this has been done, other than that and the odd snatchy fuelling have not heard a bad thing, oh and the 6000 mile service is due

The rad is quite exposed. Met a chap at Abergavenny who was on a ride with his mates. He was wating for the AA relay as a stone had punctured his nearly new RC8 rad.
Maybe he was just unlucky, but it didn't look very well protected - didn't seem to be a protective grill fixed to it.

Is that right? Never paid much attention Dan. I know my Fazer has got a plastic guard fitted. That's a bit naughty I would say.

Tell me about it! I had a stone go through my rad in the middle of a forrest in Normade on one of the hottest days of the year. I swore as soon as I got back I would fit a radiator guard. 12 months later and i'm yet to do so. :-[

try owning a 955i triple! it was like target practice for the stones
i get how they all like to make money from after sales goodies for your bike. but rad guards come on. stones wernt invented weeks ago!!!
