The RC 8C is a beast, but outright performance is still ahead of dedicated race bikes. Basically, it’s like arriving to a gunfight with a really sharp knife.

What works for the RC 8C is that it's ready to race. Extensive mods, setup time, none of the above, just hit the track and go fast.

In fact, the RC 8C could be a better machine to learn and improve your skills on. Race bikes are unforgiving and a difficult bike to ride at the limit.
Why does the RC 8C have a 65-hour service interval?

What do you want? It's a race bike. If you don’t care about low maintenance, then buy a commuter.

65 hours is ridiculous. A season of track days, that's like what? The costs will add up fast.

I'd rather have a blown engine than frequent services. At least you know it’ll be in tiptop shape every time you hit the track.

If you know how to work with your hands, it’s not that bad. Probably a lot of them are just inspections and fluid changes.
