Maybe they'll run a few of the RC 8Cs on the street, like a homologation special. That would be sick!

I don’t think most riders would notice the difference, but the single seat probably helps with aerodynamics.

But it’s cool; I sorta miss that I can take a passenger, y’know? Sometimes you want to be able to show off on track days!

I call it form over function. It looks cool, but it doesn't really provide much performance-wise.

The single-seat design also means a sleeker tail section, which could be helpful with high-speed stability.
How does the KTM RC 8C measure up on track in the real world when compared to dedicated race bikes?
