Is the KTM 1190 RC8 R simply too dangerous for public roads?

KTM's discontinued high-performance superbike, the KTM 1190 RC8 R, was a high-performance machine that was deemed too dangerous for public road use, according to KTM's CEO. The decision caused debate among motorcycle enthusiasts, particularly when you have KTM still producing other powerful bikes like the 1290 Super Duke R. The RC8 R's track-focused design, powerful engine, and aggressive ergonomics push the envelope of what is acceptable in terms of performance versus safety on public streets. For some, the skill and responsibility of riders are far more important than raw power (some even claim that high-performance machines aren't appropriate in normal traffic and are better suited to the controlled environment of a racetrack).

The bike is not dangerous; the rider is. The wrong hands and any bike can be dangerous.
