After a recent 700 miles weekend trip to wales and getting caught in rain my alpinestars SMX Plus boots were starting to smell like London underground in the summer.

Took out innersole,  sprayed inside boots with Lysol Disinfectant Spray, left to dry overnight then put in a few lenor dryer sheets and left overnight again. I chucked the innersole in a pillow case and put them thru washing machine. Job done

   

I bought my RC8R couple months back, 2011 model. I test rode 2009 and found it to be very simular with harse throttle response to the KTM Superduke R i had before (although u do get used to throttle response and start enjoying it after a while!!)

The RC8r is i find more comfortable then the Naked Superduke, your more in the bike then one the bike, leg room is fine and everything is adjustable, seat, pegs, bars, etc.

I've had inline four 1k bikes in the past and since owning superduke r i just love the big Vtwin engine, torque is immense and the bike just goes where u point it. Test ride one, you'll either love it or hate it. Very different to an inline four, althugh the 2011 revised package uses two sparks plugs per cyclinder for smother power delivery. If your gonna to buy one try get one with Akrapovic exhaust... if u want to add it later its about 2k or 1.5k for second hand!!!

Bloke who had it before me was 74 years old and it was his second RC8, he traded it for KTM 1190 Adventure as he wanted to tour more!!





p.s, i am married...... with child

Mate just bought one and loves it. You need a later model with twin spark as apparently it smooths out power delivery.

Moz will be along shortly I'm sure.
