Can I find one withing a reasonable distance to test ride from a dealer....not a forking chance!

At this rate Ill just buy a Blade or R1 for peice of mind as those are ten a penny to check out!

Nothing to add here just mild frustration on my part. :-(

With them having known injection and gearbox issues I really need to ride one to see how bad it is especially as I do ride most of the year and in the rain.

Power commander, custom map, one tooth down on the front sprocket and a quickshifter will see you right.

Find a 2010 RC8R - they are sublime.
Significantly faster than you.....

And how much extra does that add up to Moz :-). I have £5.5k to £6k I am already stretching for an RC8

Hopefully dude, as the issues are widely known about the mods will have been done already.

Buy Wizzbangs HM shifter and you're there. The QS is not a necessity.

£6k should buy you a really nice one. Have a look on the KTM forum.
