Adventure version of the KTM RC8 planned


A report on Motorcycle USA claims that KTM are prepping an adventure bike that uses the RC8's 1148cc v-twin. KTM boss Stefan Pierer also confirmed the launch of the RC8 Venom naked sportsbike.
There's also new models come from KTM's tie-up with Indian firm Bajaj. The Austrian company is planning to build a new range of 125, 250 and 500cc bikes, each in road enduro and supermoto versions. They’ll be built by Bajaj in India. The 500cc engine is all-new and will be a v-twin.
The tie-up with Bajaj will help KTM expand to become the largest European manufacturer, rivaling the Japanese in key markets. Pierer’s goal is to ramp production up to 200,000 bikes a year by 2020.
