said that sport bikes aren't a big enough market for them to care. I mentioned the RC8 and the sales manager kinda laughed at the idea of it.

not to mention the 20 or so used R6's and Gixxers they have at any given time for sale...

I sat on one a while back. I've heard they're a blast to ride. But the seating ergos weren't for me. If I get a KTM it will be a Supermoto
Buy from an out-of-state dealer. BTW, you know that the RC8 has adjustable ergos, right?
