The RC8 transmission sounds like the one in my old LC4. Glad to see that KTM hasn't changed all that much over the years

I also hear that the LC8 engine is a nightmare to service.

2000 RPM? She should stick to reviewing minivans.

Granted I only really glanced at the article but when she says that mirrors graze your knuckles when doing a u-turn. Ah that doesn't seem quite right, I mean had a human ridden this thing prior to its launch one would think this would come up as a problem. Also and while I now that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that thing is a little to fuggly for me. I mean what the heck is up with the plastic on that thing, does it look that way to serve some sort of function or have I once again lost track of fashion.

Thank God she only bashed the 1125R a few times.. I was afraid that she couldn't find enough things to complain about when it came to the bike she wasn't testing at the time, but at least she makes no mistake about her intentions..

On the RC8.. damn, that's pretty good looking and I'll bet will really light a few people up when it hits the street. This should be cool to watch.

She is way too smiley.

And it is exactly the same smile in every photo. Or is it a mask?

I'm thinking she must have practiced it for hours and hours.

That couldn't POSSIBLY be Rossi's RC211V. Since when did he race any number other than 46??

her destroyer pic (first one at the light) looks bogus. her feet are down in front of her, bars arent hitting ground, front wheel on ground...and the light is green.

Rossi USED to ride for Honda. His team mate was Nicky Hayden.

Oddly enough, she gave the City X a really good review when it was released.

Since his debut in MotoGP, and before that, Rossi's number has been 46, not 11. I'm unimpressed.

Ok, so I actually went and registered just so I post on this thread.... on behalf of women everywhere....I'm disappointed in Jane for making us all sound like a bunch of wieners...

Probably, the low speed maneuvers thing wouldn't have been an issue for her if she knew about this little thing called clutch control....

I volunteer to go riding with Jane-O. Tough work, but somebody has got to do it.

Jane, just drop me a line here in sunny Florida.
