“We are really looking forward to 2009 and we now have the RC8 Superbike that will feature in our one-make series,” says Shaun Sisterson, managing director of KTM UK. “We have run the Super Duke for the past two seasons and we have now become a Superbike class that will support the British Superbike Championship.”
Kevin Healy (Managing Director), Mark Rusted (Operations Manager) and Phil Young (General Manager) were at the launch of the new KTM RC8 race bike at he NEC show in Birmingham and are looking forward to more of the same action seen in '08 battles.
We have high expectations of the Super Cup - many RC8 have been joining our trackdays - they look and sound great and have the performance to match.
