KTM stole the spotlight at the Tokyo Motor Show today when they unveiled a new concept bike dubbed the RC8.

The 999.8cc machine utilises a 75° V-Twin powerplant wrapped in svelte orange bodywork.  The powerplant utilises a dry sump while the fuel cell resides under the seat. 

The exhaust system is encapsulated in the bottom of the fairing with stylish outlets just in front of the rear wheel, similar to the system seen on some Buell machines.

KTM claim the concept machine weighs in at 175kg and is capable of 280kph.  It rolls on a 1,399mm wheelbase
