But what did the discontinuation of the KTM 1190 RC8 R mean for the superbike market?

The KTM 1190 RC8 R was a unique sword in the super bike blade drawing, a different persona to the publicly perceived V twin with a very adjustable ergonomics. When it ceased production in 2015, it was the end of KTM's superbike involvement, leaving a void in the market for those wanting to buy something other than Japanese and Italian superbikes. However, the decision by KTM to cite safety concerns for road use opened up a conversation about the future of high-performance motorcycles and the power vs. responsibility balance. And without the RC8 R, there were questions about the range of options for consumers in the superbike category and the room for new, innovative designs in this ultra-high-stakes part of the motorcycle market.

That left a gap in the market for a truly bonkers, no-compromise superbike. It makes everything else seem a bit sanitized by comparison.
