New 09 BMW or Aprila RSV-4?

smileyman · 03-03-2009, 06:22 PM

Has anyone heard when these new models might hit dealers?? I have been impatiently waiting. My KTM dealer is just 3 miles from my house and no sign of the RC8 yet either, although he has 2 natty looking SuperDuke R's in stock...

I saw the RC8 in the showroom last fall. No sign of the Aprilia or BMW though

I honestly doubt the KTM dealer 3 miles from my house will even carry the RC8...

I tried to hit them up to see if they'd put out some flyers for track day orgs... they kinda scoffed at me and said they focus on dirt and atv sales and their victory cruisers. they also carry some crap suzuki sv knock offs....

said that sport bikes aren't a big enough market for them to care. I mentioned the RC8 and the sales manager kinda laughed at the idea of it.

not to mention the 20 or so used R6's and Gixxers they have at any given time for sale...

I sat on one a while back. I've heard they're a blast to ride. But the seating ergos weren't for me. If I get a KTM it will be a Supermoto

Buy from an out-of-state dealer. BTW, you know that the RC8 has adjustable ergos, right?
