KTM CEO Gottfried Neumeister has confirmed plans to add the RC 490 and RC 790 to the RC range. The move forms part of KTM's effort to transfer experience from its MotoGP program to road motorcycles. Official engine, chassis, price and launch details have not yet been announced.
The gap between the RC 390 and 990 RC R has been too wide. With RC 490 and RC 790 plans confirmed, I do not want another horsepower table. I want to see MotoGP experience translated into a chassis that changes direction while carrying brake pressure. Show the KTM character at corner entry.

No official engine layout or output yet. Best not to mix estimates with facts.
RC 490 should go straight at the RS 457. Price will make that fight interesting.

The gap between RC 390 and 990 RC R is finally filling. RC 490 has my attention.
Only the plans are confirmed. No specs or timing yet, so we're still waiting.
