A road-going version, however, has left fans wondering if the KTM RC 8C will ever make the jump from track only to the road. That speculation stems from KTM's past with the original RC8 superbike and the current trend of manufacturers building high-performance street bikes with obvious race blood. Enthusiasts argue over the market for such a bike and weigh up the costs of emission regulations, safety standards, and the dwindling supersport segment. A street-legal RC 8C RC could bring KTM back to the superbike market, some argue, while others think it would be better for KTM to stay away from the superbike game and focus on their strengths in other segments. It’s the discussion of what might have to give to make the RC 8C road-legal and whether or not it would be the RC 8C.
