RC16 Porn

You know, I'm sure it's a dynamite motorcycle and I hope for all the best, but I wish it looked a little more like a KTM. If those badges weren't on there I would swear it was a Honda.

Also thought the black/white/orange test livery looked way sharper than that colourway. Guess you have to keep the sponsors happy.



Either way, looking forward to seeing them in the mix and wish Bradley and Pol well with it next year.

The bike is awesome but I hate ( ) that red bull dark blue colour... Much better if KTM choose a black/orange decoration like th IDM RC8R bike

I guess that the colour scheme is aligned with the current Ajo Moto3 team bikes. I've heard a fair bit from the MotoGP commentators recently about a KTM-backed Moto2 team for next season using a KTM tubular steel chassis branded as WP (obviously using their suspension), to be ridden by Moto3 champion-elect Brad Binder and the very talented Miguel Oliveira. Can't wait to see it, and it will make a nice change from the somewhat ubiquitous Kalex bikes filling the class. It's a shame that it's almost become a one-make class, which isn't what the organisers wanted at all, it'd be good to see more chassis manufacturers represented, such as Harris, FTR, Suter and so on. Tech3 have been running their own chassis for years but it's long-overdue an update, though I spotted one near the front of a CEV round at Portimao on TV the other day.

A question for Edorta and our other Spanish comrades: there were very few spectators at Portimao for the CEV round - does this happen at the circuits in Spain or is it only at this one round?

¡Hasta pronto!

The CEV is a marginal championship (sadly)

In Spain only exists Motogp.

Talking about the moto2 WP bikes, Julito Simon and Ricky Cardus are the test riders and the talk very well about the bike.


Hope they can fight against the Kalex army.

My understanding is that WP make KTM frames possibly why the Moto2 frame is referred to as WP.

Because the engine is Honda and as brand they don't want a KTM with Honda engine.

Marketing...

Today they're testing in Motorland Aragon.

New frame and new fairings.
