2013 KTM 1190 RC8 R

If you’re looking for a rare, raw, and truly track-focused superbike that stands out from the crowd, this 2013 KTM 1190 RC8R delivers an experience unlike anything else in its class. Built as KTM’s flagship superbike, the RC8R combines aggressive angular styling, lightweight construction, and a powerful 1195cc V-twin engine that produces massive torque and thrilling top-end performance. It’s a machine designed for riders who want something different from the typical inline-four supersports — with a more visceral, connected riding feel.

This example shows 24,000 miles and presents in excellent condition both cosmetically and mechanically. The bike runs strong, pulls hard through the rev range, and delivers the kind of raw acceleration that KTM’s big V-twin platform is known for. It shifts smoothly and rides exactly how a properly maintained RC8R should.

Finished in KTM’s signature white, black, and orange race-inspired color scheme, this bike has serious visual presence. The trellis frame, single-sided swingarm styling, and sharp fairings give it a purpose-built race look that still turns heads today. The engine and chassis components appear clean and well kept, showing it has been cared for properly.

This RC8R is not just about looks — it’s one of the most engaging and rider-focused superbikes ever produced. With fully adjustable ergonomics (clip-ons, seat height, rearsets), premium suspension, and a lightweight chassis, it offers a highly customizable riding experience whether you’re on the street or pushing hard on twisty roads.

Why this one stands out:
The RC8R is a rare platform that has become increasingly sought after due to its uniqueness and limited production. Unlike more common Japanese supersports, the KTM offers a big-bore V-twin character with strong midrange torque and a more analog, connected riding feel. This particular bike benefits from tasteful upgrades that enhance both performance and style without compromising reliability.

Mechanically strong, visually aggressive, and increasingly collectible — this RC8R is ready for its next owner.

Upgrades & features include:
• Aftermarket exhaust system (Jester) — improved sound and performance
• Aftermarket adjustable levers
• OPT7 LED underglow lighting
• New battery
• Clean, well-maintained condition throughout

RC8R models are becoming harder to find in clean condition, especially ones that have been properly maintained. This is a great opportunity to own a unique European superbike that delivers both performance and exclusivity.
